DIRECTV vs. DISH

I would highly recommend the DISH experience. They are very knowledgeable if you need to call them with a technical question, and very patient in walking you through what you need to do. They also appear to have very simple fixes for things that might go wrong. I fully support DISH.

I was not really thrilled with Dish Network. Trying to talk with somone through their customer service was horrible. They could never really understand what I was trying to say and I thought their prices were a little high. Overall I would not go back to them.

I’ve had it for 2 years now, and I’m not particularly thrilled with the service.

The service reliability has been more consistent than that of cable. Customer service is good and will work with you to get a lower rate after your contract expires. There is a $50 service fee if something causes the satellite to become unaligned. In two years, that has only happened once because someone laid a ladder on the satellite.

I was a long time Dish Network subscriber because for the longest time they were the only satellite provider in my area. The equipment is good but their pricing always seemed on the high side and the customer service was just plain bad. They often had billing over charges and I would have to call and fight to get them removed while someone reading from a script would always ask if someone else in the house ordered a show, I live alone.

If Dish is the only thing available they are better than nothing but I would go with Direct TV any day over Dish.

There are a few reasons why I chose the overall rating to be “Meh”. Mostly because they have cut out many channels such as WGN America and the local Sports Net Channels.

An okay alternative to cable but not really much special – the dish is a little reliable than cable IMO.

the bill is a little high..and they always have promotions for new customers,how about some for the ones who pay top dollar every month and continue to be a customer.

I have found directTV to be an alright provider , it is nothing extraordinary but is an alright value for what you pay for .

Any storm that is not even that major causes the service to go out…Then the channel that has great shows like “Breaking Bad” and many others was gone because this company could not work out another deal with them, even though Direct TV did…
