A:Answer For the best picture quality, strongly suggest Directv. Have had both, no comparison.You will hear directv goes down in very bad weather and that is true but my cable tv was down even more frequently. People act like cable tv neither goes down. Additionally, the sports and programming with directv is almost unlimited. Have really enjoyed my OLED tv. Quality of picture is unmatched. When very bad weather knocks down the picture, which is very rare, I just play one of my pre-recorded programs. Generally only last for a few minutes. Directv negatives are: 2 year contract and price so make sure you negotiate a good deal up front.
