Question

Direct tv or dishtv... which is the best for HD ?

Answer 1

well i thnk tht when it comes to the HD channels; it will all balance out in a yr or soo. ok; w/ tht said, lets look at other facts. Dish has daul tuner recivers, built-in DVR, international channels, no contract need, don't have to buy equipment, lowest mnthly price for Sd & HD packages. Directv has largest sports choices, Tivo, wireless connective and control. i cant find much more for directv, but i hope this info helps. jus to let u knw i had directv in the past; had it for bout a yr. i now have dish, for the past 4 yrs. there CS is outsourced; so it does take a heavy hand to deal w/ them, lol.

Answer 2

I have DirecTV, and I absolutely love it. They offer a lot of HD channels, and they are going to offer even more soon. The picture quality is great, especially for sports. It's amazing the difference when I switch from a SD channel to it's HD version. I would recommend DirecTV, but I have never had Dish network.

Answer 3

I've had both services. As far as picture quality, theyre both the same. As far as hd content, directv wins by far. Almost double the hd content of dish. Currently fish offers about 40 he channels, and directv is pushing 100. However, you should be aware that directv is also more expensive. Currently dish gives you an hd dvr for free, but directv will charge about $200 for one. Up to you which one you want: hope this helps!

Answer 4

They are both owned by the same company and I believe that there is no difference between them. Go for the lower priced one and as far as the recorder buy your own and get a better one and don't pay to loan the one they give you.

Answer 5

DirectTV by far as most of the others have said and ignore the other dude as he obviously has no clue.  Dish is owned by EchoStar and DirectTV is owned by John Malone's Liberty Media because the merger with EchoStar fell through back in 2003.

Although pic quality may be the same they do NOT offer the same HD content and DirectTV has twice as much.

Answer 6

DirecTV by far has way more HD channels. With Directv they have over 90 channels in HD and they have channels that your going to watch like TNT, USA, MTV, CARTOON NETWORK (so your kids can watch HD!) overall there's 60 national channels in HD. and then there's some sports channels like the NFL channel and depending where you live the Big Ten Network also most of the Fox Sports Networks are in HD. While Directv's Hd is only 10/month dish net charges you 20/month. and they only have about 50. and the only reason they have so many is they bought out this company named Zoom. So with Dish you only get about 20 national channel. then after that you get hd channels like the anime channel and a kung-fu channel in hd. so that's why directv is better. and they broadcast in true 1080i!!
