Satalite vs Antenna TV

My local cable company is always running an ad about cable being better than satalite TV because of the continuous availability of service vs cloud cover and the blockage of the satalite beam to your tv. Is this still a really big problem?

I am considering dumping the cable and moving to direct or dish with a mobile antenna which will be in use all the time while on the road or at home, by changing the antenna feed from RV to house.

Does anyone else do this? Any problems?

Thanks, in advance

If what you are hoping to do is be able to use satellite TV in your RV, the most practical and affordable option is to also have satellite TV in your home. When you travel you simply remove a receiver from the house and install it in the RV. If you keep cable you will have to pay for it for all 12 months (most likely) plus pay for satellite TV when you are in the RV.
Dish or DirecTV is highly subjective and works better or worse depending upon the type of RV antenna you plan to buy and what kind of receiver you want to use. The cheap end of the scale you could likely have a good manual ground mounted antenna for about $200 all the way up to having a Trav'ler installed on the roof for around $2000.
