Direct TV or Dish Network?

Other than lack of NFL Sunday Ticket (which I don't subscribe to) I don't see huge downsides to Dish Network these days.

What's everyones feedback on this? I got a chance to change the carrier so I'd like to make the proper call.

I like Dish, but thats only

I like Dish, but thats only my opinion, BUT, Dish also carries more HDTV programming then DTV, and they have more locals available then DTV.  Man do i sound like a commercial or what!!??  No I have a lot less troubles with the dish DVR's then I have seen with thoise cheap DTV DVRs.  Built to last (LOL, Thats it for DTV, maybe a year at best, I had three DTV DVR in one year!!) the Dish ones do last, as I have one almost two years now, maybe time to upgrade.  Like I said only one observation and opinion.  Good luck and hope you make the smart choice. Cool

I'm leaning towards Dish, but I haven't gotten a price quote from DirectTV for upgrading.

I'm adding a basement and will want 4 TVs hooked up to satellite (instead of 2) as well as HD service.

We'll see if DirectTV tries to rip me off on the upgrade - Dish offered to set up everything for free.

I have dishnet right now and

I have dishnet right now and the complaints I have had are..when I moved and upgraded they did charge an outrageous dish moving fee, they rebated it back but it took 3 months after new installation to get credit, I have had problems with my DVR, after having the same one for 2 years, and I believe they've sent me a used refurbished , that gives me even more problems.  Also, I was disapointed to see they took away a few vital channels w/o any notice. But even with all that, I prefer dishnet to direct simply because of price, and anytime I have had a problem they are real quick to help.

BTW...I ended up with DirectTV...after all was said and done.

It's been a good experience except for the video/audio sync issue I haven't figured out yet (HD channels are out-of-sync, regular channels are not)

Dish network tech support

Dish network tech support sucks I bought a system from them and now when I have a problem with losing satellite 119 they said to contact their instulation department and then I get disconnected. try someone else

Personally, I do enjoy both

Personally, I do enjoy both services though people have different satisfaction with what they think is useful for them. As I browsed over the internet, I came across with a topic which merely summarizes the difference between cable TV and dish network.You may find this link useful: Dish Network Vs Direct TV
