If you plan on actually watching TV at will, with total spontaneity and hundreds of choices then satellite is the way to go, hands down. You said you only watch a few channels but you'd be surprised once there are choice in front of you.
Dish Network & DirecTV only need power to work, and a clear view of the southernmost sky. Their service is not contingent on an internet signal, and good, steady, available bandwidth. Especially once realtime HD viewing is a factor. HD programming is bandwidth intensive and can kill the mood and experience of the show if you have to keep waiting for the show/movie to buffer. Some service will not even let you watch until a certain amount of the program has downloaded.
Netflix, Apple TV, Google TV are fee based programming or pay-per-click. So you'll have to be a paying member of some sort, plus you have to pay for internet service itself. Good internet service that delivers the download data stream (6MB/sec+) fast enough. Unlike sat service, there is no need to worry about bad weather, high winds that can shift/move the antenna or external equipment damage or failure. Sat TV is always streaming with no waiting or downloading needed and is not limited to bandwidth. No buffering. With a DVR, once its recorded you can watch what you want at will.
However, you are not limited to any schedule but your own, for the fee based option you can watch exactly what you want at will, and of course..., no commercials.
Bottom line:
Satellite TV- $40-70 for HDTV service
Internet TV- $30-50 for internet service, $15+/mo. for subscription fee HD programming.
I know there is many choices, but i dont know.
I am currently on Charter Cable TV witch i hate there prices and there quality of service.
so i am wondering what are better choices and alternatives.
I got netflix so i know i can use that.
so here are a few things i want to look out for:
-a radio like channel (i enjoy jazz at nights)
-something so i can have the newest eps of a show (i can pay for it if thats a choice)
-can replay and shuffle shows i got (if its a Internet TV box)(i like to have some shows playing in the background wile im on the computer)
and those are my main problems.
i know theres Dish, Direct TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Seagate, and many more i just dont know witch would be best for me.
