Which is better: DISH Network or DirectTV?

Which one do you like better...Dish Network or DirectTV?

  • Getting SO ticked off with my cable company, so I am considering switching to a satellite dish...but not sure which one would be better. So, I wanted to see which would people had good vs bad experiences with. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I have had them both -- currently have Dish Network. They're BOTH better than cables, so you can't really go wrong. If you're a fan of pro football DirectTV has the NFL package (though it's pretty expensive now). Overall, I'd give Dish Network a slight edge -- the price is more reasonable, there are lots of sports and movie options, the picture and service have been excellent (I left DirectTV because of very poor service).

I really like Directv. I have never had a problem with them in 5 years. I think they are cheaper to with more channels.

Directv! I've had it for about 3yrs now and never had a problem. The programmed channels are so much better then Dish Network. I was considering switching so that I could get the free DVR (because they weren't offering it when I first signed up), but after comparing them, there's no way I want to give up some of my favorite channels for it. I'll pay the $48 for the reciever. You should compare and see which channels you like, my friend has Dish Network and is happy with what she gets.

I have both...I think it depends on what your trying to watch. If you have an HD TV I would suggest going with Dishnetwork. They have more HD channels and do a better job on compressions which gives even the standard def images crisper and clearer. If your looking for Standard Def TV (AKA regular TV) and a DVR I would suggest DirecTV as they have the Hughes Box with TIVO built in. The box blows away any Dishnetwork box out there.
