Not a chance. Cable is just so much more convienient. I like to watch tv in bad weather, so dish is out. And it is just a matter of time before the government stops DirecTV from having their Football and now possably Baseball monopolies. The masses have cable, and the masses have spoken. Satelleite users don't even make up a third of the numbers of cable users. To say cable is a thing of the past is just rediculous. I have tried both by the way, I lived in a house for a year where cable wasn't an option so I was forced to go with Dish Network. After Comcast Digital Cable, Dish Network is like trading in a Porsche for a Kia.
