wha'ts better: Directv or Dish Network?

Answer 1

I have personally subscribed to both, and have decided to stick with DirectTv.

I do have to admit that Dish Network had a slightly better thought out interface, but the authentic TiVo features on DirectTv trump that by a long shot.

Answer 2

I have been a dish customer for over 10 years and will never go back to cable. Better price, service, and channels. Just went HD and could not be happier. Satellite provides a far superior service than cable. Though I might loose my signal momentarily (it only happens in real bad weather from the south) it come back as good as new and i don;t have to wait for a cable person to show up next week. Loose of signal will happen to any satellite signal as the signal get distorted in a very heavy rain storm, but is normally uneffected by regular storms.

As to which service is better, (Dish or Direct), they both have the same channels with some minor exceptions. If you have to have the NFL your only choice is Direct, both systems offer the NFL channel, however Direct has a lock on broadcasting all the NFL games. Not sure how long this contract if for, but i bet Dish is trying to get it. If you want HD, Dish as more channels currently. Direct advertises "More HD channel capability than cable", but that statement is meaningless, as they are speaking of capability not in service.
