Ok all you techies! Can I have digital broadband internet and

a satellite dish?

1. Why not? I have both. They're two entirely seperate entities.

Start with a home server to bring it all together...then get out your wallet.

2. I have the broadband internet though my local cable

but for television digital cable, they are about 10 bucks more than satellite and they don't have as many channels. The satellite seems like a much better deal as far as television goes.

3. I thought you meant having both at the same time.

I have digital cable (with a set-top receiver) sharing the same line as my broadband. I have a completely independent sat. system/receiver as well.

I think your choice comes down to what your cable provider has to offer. Either way, my "get out your wallet" suggestion stands, because it always seems to get around to that.

Good luck.
