I got rid of cable t.v. for Satellite.?

Question

But now I am deciding which service is better .Direct T.V. ot Dish Network ? What do you think ?

Answer 1

both services will go out in the rain and so on. Also they have put out A lot of stuff saying they have over 100 HD channels and don't. they also have contracts that have break fees as well as their rates go up 3 times a year, with no written notice.  

Answer 2

Directv has more channels including more HD channels (yes some in that 100 count are ppv), but more than Dish.  Dish doesn't have their HD satellite act together as well.  Direct also does specials for free like Wimbledon, US Open, and Olympics on an interactive channel where they have extended coverage and interactive schedules.  They have other premium stuff like MBA, NFL Sunday Ticket, NASCAR, NHL Center Ice, etc.  For HD Directv is better I think.  My reception has been affected only twice briefly during major electrical lightning/thunder storm right overhead but not during normal rain or snow.

Answer 3

well I would try dish first cause they have no contract if you buy your own equipment.Directv makes you do a 2 yr contract and just as soon as its almost up they find a reason to reset the contract I have been stuck with Directv for 5 years ..and if you are late on a bill and you recently paid with a debit/credit card they will auto matically charge you with out your permission ,they say that it is legal to do so cause it is in the contract...

hope this helps
