I think you’ll find other things that will not impress you so much about DishTV...But then, if it suits you, then more power to ya. The biggest argument that has suaded me, was hearing from people who had friends/family, who had the differebnt systems, and the ones who actually spent time using/watching both systems. Preferred DirecTV. I myself have had no expirience with Dish Network, have had DirecTV for many years. And while initially, I had a list of issues with them, that were mostly hidden cost/installation issures, DirecTV has pretty much worked those out. And now my only beef with them, is getting a reciever with single line signal feed, that has a decent guide in it. i used to have a Hughes reciever, and the guide went out like 15 days, a Turbo button that gave me two button push access to my top nine channels, and a much easier future program selection for once/M-F/weekly tuning/recording. Some other nice features that I miss, but that unit burnt out, and DirecTVs basic receiver, is a real step down. To get similar guide menu capability, fro DirecTV you have to buy a reciever that has TIVO and requires TWO feed lines from the Multiplexor. Wouldn’t mind the Tivo, but the location of the receiver, makes running a second line a major hassle. a deal killer as such. So, when using that TV I am stuck with a crappy guide/menu, at least I am till DirecTV comes out with a upgraded ‘basic’ reciever. But I hold slim hopes for that, as I think the reason they have not, is to use it as a way to push people to buy the more expensive systems.
