DirecTV vs. Dish Network: Sony Addict-recovering

by lee blume
(minnesota)


We have been with DirecTV going on 16 years. When we joined, the consumer bought their own equipment at a price of $1200.00. At this time DirecTV is giving us a whopping $5.00 off our bill for 15 months for customer loyalty.

We now pay $80.00 a month for Choice Plus- HD package-2 drv's and service plan. The service has been great very few storm related outages. Great channel lineup you have to get the HD package if you have a LCD television.

I would NEVER switch to Dish TV; can't stand the remote and on screen format plus they are missing a lot of great channels.

I have been a DirecTV customer since 1996 and have taken it with me through 4 moves. It is by far the best solution that is available in my area (Nor Cal).

I have two brothers with Dish and they have frequent equipment issues and, personally, I believe the Dish guide was designed by someone who doesn't have a TV.

I would have given DirecTV 5 stars but despite my loyalty and perfect payment history, they want full price on new equipment and give it away to new customers. I wanted a second DVR and they offered it to me for $199! No way.

Now they have something similar to Dish's two room receiver. You can network their "Interactive" receivers together so if you have one HD-DVR you can watch what is recorded on that DVR on other receivers IF they have an Ethernet port. My HD receiver doesn't so I have to call and see if I can get an upgrade.
