DTH/Digital Cable TV: Which one to choose?

Hello all.
I am planning to buy an HD DTH/Cable TV connection.
Though, my prime inclination is towards DTH providers, but as I'm in transferable job, I like to keep things simple and DTH due to its antenna seems like a mess to me.
So, my question is:
1.How much good/bad are digital cable operators? To be specific, Siti Cable in Patna.
2. Will it be a good idea to go with Siti Cable instead of DTH? Will it be a lot trade off of quality (I have 32 inch HD ready Sony LED TV)?

I'm all confused on this. What you all say?

If the cable operator provides you with a Set Top Box, you don't have to worry about the quality! To decide on DTH / cable, you need to see many other factors like cost, channels, customer service etc!

If you are in coastal area or where there is heavy rains, go for digital cable. DTH is affected wherever there is heavy rain.

Exactly, must look at details like the fellow says above, the rains may affect the quality of DTH, I would opt for Digital Cable TV because it is less susceptible to damage, and in my area is cheaper and reachable than DTH. Of course there are also factors such as costs and channels, and the service itself.
