In regaurds to youre question, I think if you want more than 1 set hooked up
then cable is the cheapest way to go. As far a programing I don;t know what 
the
local cable system you have there, But within 2 years you will have to have a
"box" unless you intend on buyin a 2,000 to 4,999 Digtal T.V. My self I would
look at both cable and Sat. If you cable provider dosn;t have the programming
you wish then talk to some one about Primestar. I think its the best way
because you don't buy it...If you bump the dish or if the rec. has a problem
they fix it.If you get a D.S.S. if the 1 year is up youre stuck with 
it....Just
my opion....
