Before blaming DTH for signal interruption/pricing, lets remember that the signal outages are rare compared to cable connection. Even if you have slight pixellation in the video, its much better than what you see in cable. You need to be very lucky to have a good cable connection whereas almost all DTH companies maintain a very good video quality.And once you get a DTH connection, you will feel terrible to watch low-quality-cable.Cable people actually cheat the broadcasters by showing lesser number of viewers[so that they can pay a lesser fee to them].So to balance out the losses that broadcasters are facing right now, they demand high content price for their channels from DTH companies.
