DIRECTV vs. DISH

Dish Network offers a much better DVR service than Direct TV (closer to Tivo) however, they do lie in their advertising. I started out at $55 per month for the service and in less than I year by cost went up over 50% to $83. So when you hear their ads lambasting the competition for raising their intro offer by 35%, Dish is worse.

My husband and I were all ready to sign up with Dish- until we were told that we would have to pay $200 up front to get HD installed at our house. We have now signed up with Direct because they do not have such ridiculous upfront fees.

Had Direct for 3 years. Prices kept creeping up and up, from $99 to start to $149 the 3rd year. Glad I bailed and went to Dish. The Dish prices have gone up $4 in the last 2 years. I can handle this level of inflation. Dish has far better menu functions, better responding DVR. I also get a UHF remote that allows another unit in my bedroom. Highly recommend Dish over Direct. And NO I don’t work for Dish. I am a retired pilot.

Great Value. I have been with Dish for the past 7 years. They have worked quickly to resolve any problems/concerns. (Which have been minor) They have shown me I am a valued customer by offering free starz for a year. No commitments, etc.. I am not under contract with Dish (haven’t been for awhile) I believe they know how to show great customer service & a great value….

dish network is stupidjust fr the first month they have prices going up 100 000 dollars i cut them off right then and there and they still do that i switched to directv you only had to pay 20 dollars thats a big diffrence

Having not had TV for about 5 years because of my work schedule, i recently signed up for Dish Net. Very nice. No complaints at all. In my current job i work for a company that installs both Dish and DirecTV. Let me tell you from experience that DirecTV is more expensive and the customer service is as bad as you will ever see. Poor, poor customer service, and very overrated.

we are not in contract anymore and do not want to renew because we might be moving. every other month they keep raising our price by a couple dollars. we have been loyal customers for 5 yrs. that is really starting to upset me and i might cancel once we move and go with someone else

the only thing i didnt like was the satellite went out during bad storms. Not a big deal, but i had to listen to my hubby complain about it :( I’ve never had a problem with dish network. Im just sick of the contract game cable and satellite companies are playing anymore. it never used to be like that.

DISH Network blows DIRECTV away! Best technology on the planet and the best price for pay TV.

Non-customers are treated much better than long term established customers! I am paying more for my package than new users and I also have to pay for my HD channels per month!
