I live in a TimeWarner cable area and have noticed several houses that used to have dishnetwork satellite dishes have removed them (or at least the LNBs). Also I rarely see a new satellite dish (dish or direct) added to a house locally. My guess is the cable companies triple play offer is converting some people back to cable and that the cable service is good enough to keep others from switching to satellite. At this point in time one would think that most people who live in "cable free Zones" have already signed up for satellite service and Dish also has problems with signal theft which may be causing subscriber loss.
