Satellite work is alot easier, if that's what you want. Your money is probably easier to manage doing cable, so yes, it basically comes down to what cable system you're near and how do they conduct business. I will say that 5years running, after expenses and everything I have made better money(according to my tax returns) doing satellites than in 7 previous years of cable.
