A dish and decoder (etc.) runs about $2000 and has a salvage value of about
$500 after about 10 - 15 years.  You can do the math yourself, but when I
figured it a while back, the cable was a better bet.  The only problem I had
was the cable company wanted to charge me over $2000 to run their line to my
house. :-(  The only problem with Satalite is you don't get local stations
therefore no local news.
