Is Verizon better than DirecTV?

Dish Network vs Directv vs Comcast vs Verizon FiOS?

  • I don't know which one to choose. I am choosing the 200 channel plans. I like Dish because it offers more HD channels at the same price and is cheaper than the others. Their DVR look pretty good 2 but i dont really know. I read here on answers that however they have bad customer service compared to DirecTv which is better but cost somewhat more but lack the number of HD channel Dish has and costs more although they have TiVo the lack of HD channels is more disturbing to me and the fact that is cost more for less. Then again I am kinda against getting any satlitte carriers because i just moved to the Seattle area where it is cloudy 2/3 of the year and dizzles alot and i don't know wheather that will impact the channels I receive enough wheather it needs to be a downpour or not. THen there is comcast. Cable which cost a good deal more than satelitte.From the info i got i think they have like 7 HD channels compared to 20 with Dish Their DVR sucks but if you can get Tivo then i don't care.

    Hi Sebastian It seems as though you have already done quite a bit of research into comparisons between Dish, Directv and the cable providers. I would have to agree with you that Dish is better value than Directv and that it is cheaper and better than cable. The drizzly weather in "Sunny Seattle" should not affect the reception. Just make sure that you have a clear view to the south. http://www.sattvinfo.com has comparisons between Dish Network, Directv and the cable companies. Good Luck. :)

We ditched Comcast after they told it us it would take them 2 weeks to fix a problem on their line that was causing a total outage. We went with Dish - their DVR Advantage package is awesome - JUST BE SURE TO CALL THEM. We ordered by phone, and our bill got all screwed up. Fortunately their customer support was pretty friendly and immediately recognized the problem. We don't have Verizon FIOS out here yet, so can't compare.

I think you should go for Dish -Cheaper -Provides more HD channels -Excellent Picture Quality Having Satellite in Seattle shouldn't be a problem. I have Dish and I live in San Francisco, where it's cloudly more than half of the year.

verizon has 27 hd channels with more to come. dvr is simple--plus its a dual channel--so you can record 2 shows or record one and watch another.. i am a verizon fios tech for 2 years
