What's the price for "basic" DTV service? I've seen offers for $39/mo, but those all go up after a few months.

DirecTV, without a doubt.

Especially if you're about image quality. Cable will simply never be able to match satellite. Cable can claim to be "digital cable," however it is still being run over an analog medium. That's preferrable for audio, but NOT for video - DirecTV trumps.

^ gee.. and what is satellite being ran over?? hate to break it to ya, but everything is ran on an analog medium..

there is nothing different in the encoding of digital cable and satellite.. except maybe the bitrates being different.. and directv uses QPSK modulation, and cable uses QAM (at least TWC uses it).. both methods of digital modulation..
