I don't know about SF, but when I lived in San Bernardino, the cable companys had their own "territories" which they had a monopoly on, and you were essentialy "stuck" with the provider that served that area. If it's the same in SF, I would chose the dish if it offers more channels, or just chuck the cable, and go with a good old fashioned roof antenna, if you don't want to pay for the cable company's "improved" service. > > Thanks, > Rick
