Sports Programming
Slight Advantage - Direct TV
Both Dish Network and Direct TV offer sports programming packages at an additional cost. If you're an avid NFL fan, and want the Sunday Ticket, your only choice is Direct TV, as Dish Network DOES NOT offer the NFL Sunday Ticket. Dish Network does have the Multi-Sport Package which includes most of the FOX regional channels.
NFL Sunday Ticket NBA League Pass ESPN GamePlan MLB Extra Innings MLS Direct Kick Barclays English Premier League ESPN Full Court Mega March Madness NHL Center Ice Cricket Ticket Multi-Sport Package(includes regional Fox Sports)
Dish Network NO YES YES YES YES YES YES NO YES YES YES
Direct TV YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES NO
DVR Equipment
Slight Advantage - Direct TV
Both Dish Network and Direct TV offer DVR equipment for free when you order their pr, the difference is Direct TV uses Tivo for their DVR equipment. With Direct TV's TIVO, you can watch one channel, while recording another. Dish Network's DVR systems do offer more recording hours though.
If you need NFL ticket, Direct TV should be your choice hands down. You should also select Direct TV if you want a nicer interface for the DVR equipment.
If you're on a tight budget, you can save a little each month with Dish Network, as their packages run slightly cheaper per month.

Never had Dish Network so I can't comment on their services.
We had Direct TV for years and were pretty happy with them. The only problem was they didn't offer local channels for our area, so when Cable came around offering to install outlets in any rooms for free and gave us a good deal we switched.
I think they're all pretty close, just look at the specials they're offering at the time you want to sign up and pick the one with the best deal.
