We have DirecTV with absolutely no complaints.
On 2 occasions I called to see if they were going to have a special on Showtime and both times I was given a 3 month trial for free.
They have great customer service and do have excellent specials especially if you can bundle telephone and internet.
My mother-in-law has Dish and she used to enjoy watching QVC to do some shopping and she doesn’t have it on Dish anymore. She wanted it and was told she would have to pay for it each month. We have so many more channels she does for about the same price.

QVC is available in the Top 120 Dish package and above.
Dish also doesn’t charge extra for setups in two rooms.
