it only take on truck drive to knock a pole down it down in your area or a digging to cut a cable
As noted several times above, the key factor isn't the reliability or otherwise of different transmission methods: it's the absolute end of life of the current orbiting broadcast-only platforms when these expend the last of their on-board positioning propellant, and the unlikelihood of anyone being prepared to invest in what's essentially a 1990s technology to launch a new fleet as a replacement.
Yes, individual properties are going to find their 'television signal' fails more often when it's arriving over broadband: that's something we're just going to have to get used to.
