Dish or Direct

[AppleBonker]

I have COMCAST

Is there sarcasm in that smiley? This isn't a good thing.

As of my last investigation, DirecTV had the best video quality. However, I understand that matters very little to the vast majority of people out there. If given a choice, I would personally take them over all other options. Either way you go, I think DirecTV and Dish are miles ahead of Uverse/Comcast on all fronts (hardware and image quality).

dish for over 10 years. Wish I had gotten the dvr sooner.

I had Direct and was well satisfied. I have a friend who had Direct, but when he moved he changed to Dish because of the start-up deal they offered, after his 1 year contract was up he ended up changing back.

I've had Direct TV for the last 3+ years, and before that had comcast for 7+ years, and Direct TV is a much better service.

With that said, when our contract is up with Direct TV we plan to cancel. Not because of service but because we just don't watch $100/month worth of tv. I've had a dvr almost since they came on the market and that has completely changed the way i watch tv. When i see a show i would like to watch i just record it for a time when i want to watch it, instead of being forced to watch it at the time the network wants me to watch it. With Netflix, Hulu, purchasing seasons/episodes, and a little torrenting, i get just about everything i want to watch.

Go direct. Dish done away with wishtv 8 how do you get rid of a local channel?

you might wanna research that a little more. it was out for less than a week. but it didn't bother me as i never even watch that channel

My best friend was dying from cancer an had got Dish, he loved watching the hunting shows, but they never seemed to come in, after Dish came out a few times an never could get it to work right they stopped trying an refused to come out anymore, they didn't solve the problem an refused to help anymore. I would tape hunting shows of my Directv so he could watch...he was too sick to fight with them anymore....directv has done me right for over 10 yrs.....Dish can kiss my a**.

I've had dish for almost 10 years...seems fine to me. Customer service has been fine the few times I've needed them.

Dish

You do what you want, but it's been my experience that the billing and packaging people at Direct could frak up a two car parade. Same channels, lower prices, (usually), I went back to Dish.

I know I am repeating another post but we did the same thing, get a good HD antenna and netflix thru the internet for $9 a month. Saving aropund $100 off our old bill.

We have been on Directv for over 10 years. I have had very few issues. When I have a problem, they are very helpful.

I have dish network. I did switch one time for a week and hated direct tv and switched back.
