I've had Dish for about 4 years and I love it.
My father has Direct and I hate the interface for the listings and such.
Plus the package I have is quite a bit cheaper than his with as many if not more channels.
Watch for one of those deals where they give you extra receivers and such.... with either one they're quite a bit more expensive after you're a customer (just like cell phones and anything else where they like to give away equipment to get ya)
Dish TV they are starting to add most local programming in also, at least around here they are.
I've had ABC and FOX on my Dish for years. Now I can get NBC and CBS also... I just need to upgrade to the new receiver.
The best part is that the new receive will do 10 hours of recording on it's internal hard drive.... the old one I have will only do an hour. They both do live TV pause too (great feature for when the phone rings or you walk away to eat dinner. It just time delays whatever you're watching until the channel gets changed.

direct tv is good...but the menus are tougher to use, the service blinks out more often (storms, high winds, etc)..and the quality of the audio they feed sucks!
i had dish network before i moved to where i am now and i loved it, i have digital cable right now and it is nowhere as nice as dish! now i like my cable internet, but i would for sure say to go with dish!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
...here's my quandary. My POS cable company is going Direct TV.
...that's it, nothing extra, no frills. You buy all the equipment.
...while I keep getting offers for Direct TV and Dish TV.
...right now, Direct TV is offering up to five rooms worth of equipment for FREE, plus FREE installation.
...Dish TV, is offering up to four rooms of FREE equipment, FREE installation AND a FREE digital recorder.
...I only need four rooms hooked up, so the Dish TV deal would seem the best.
...but, a couple of people I talked to, say Direct TV is better.
...the BIG question, is it, or isn't it.
Dish.....the only thing Direct has going for it is NFL Ticket!
the dishnetwork dvr is alos a very very nice feature. its not as good as tivo....but still a very cool thing to have.
...anymore opinions here, before I make my decision? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Igot Direct TV..I like it..I like the "scouts" that will look for programs I'm lookin for..etc..Yeah the interface took some time to get use to,but what doesn't.
Bone's right about the "blinking off",but that only happens in severe Storms..Out of the all the years I have had it I prolly lost an hour total due to storms..I only loses the signal for a liitle bit till a big storm passes.
