Direct for sports...other than that there is little difference.

[driftdiver]

Yeah, don’t use either.

You’ll lose the signal when it rains and beware of the long term contracts. They lure you in with low rates and then throw in hidden charges.

[robomatik]

there is a third alternative

:^)

[mnehring]

I’ve had both and I would recommend Direct TV hands down. It actually gives me a better signal in storms (Dish Network went out a lot more). Also, Direct TV always has some sort of promotion going on and existing customers can get it just for asking.

[smokingfrog]

Wasn’t it Dish Network that had the All-0bama channel back during the election? You might want to consider that.

[pandoraou812]

I have both. Dish goes out more in storms here in NJ then Direct. I am stuck in a contract with DirectTV or I would just have Dish as it is cheaper (I think). I could only get Direct in my summer trailer which I don't have any longer so it was either pay over $300 or finish the contact. When we get lots of rain Direct stays on & Dish goes out until the storm is over.

Watch TV online instead Here

Fox News, CNN, ESPN, Cartoon network, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Almost any sporting event

I switched from Dish to DTV abut two years ago. IMO DirecTV is far superior.

[stainlessbanner]

Both about the same quality. Stay away from DirecTV - if you get locked in a contract, they rake you over for termination fees, receiver fees, etc.

I got tired of fighting them and switched to Dish - so far so good

[Roux]

My mother-in-law (who lives way out in the country) has direct TV and it’s pretty good.

Keep in mind if you want free equipment and cheap service they sign you to a 2 year contract like a cell phone with big cancellation fees. I would rec Directv if you can get your own equipment

[achilles2000]

Neither. Netflix. Buying cable pours massive $$ into the pockets of the left.

[achilles2000]

I should have typed “satellite or cable”

[Paladin2]

Talk Radio. Eschew TV

[GrannyK]

I think it depends on your location because in my area we are not allowed to get local networks on Direct. We do fine tho on Dish. We do have a problem when it storms with Dish tho.

[Lakeshark]

Having had both, I prefer Directv at this point. Dish is not bad though, look at both intro promotions, find out your full charges for both and decide from there. Both require two year commitments.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve had DirecTV forever. I live in a rural area. I wouldn’t give it up for anything. We’ve never had a problem with it.

[cookiedough]

We’ve had Direct TV for 8 months without a problem. We chose it over Dish and cable solely because of MLB.

[earlJam]

We had Dish for years, then switched to Direct TV.

As soon as our contract was up, we went back to DirectTV.

[bigbob]

Really intersting, not one vote for Dish. I switched from Dish to cable after 10 , mostly because it was cheaper and I don’t care about sports, not one attempt to get me back. Now I get promos from DirecTV about every other week. The first one that lets you choose ala carte programming will get me as a customer for life.
