DIRECTV vs. DISH

Insider info on Dir TV the reason for this company being so bad, is the fact that it has been sold five more times. Dish network the same people still own the company. According the BBB Dir TV is an F company and now trying to sue Dish network as well. Facts are plain to see here folks, Dir TV may claim they are the best, but truth is Dir TV can’t match Dish Networks pricing or service and that is a fact. Like or not Dish Network is A+++! Dir TV I have owned once and when the weather was bad the single was gone, trying to talk to Dir TV they treat you like crap over the phone. Also, if you make changes they will start your contract over. Look folks Dish Network has America has Everything for 84.00 The best Dir TV has is top 250 for 169 the lowest Dir TV package doesn’t give the channels like Dish Network’s does. Bottom line if you are having problems ask to talk to a supervisor they will get the problem solved for you. Sorry, to ramble here but please go to Dish Network site and look the options they have. Simple solo HD reviver buy a hard 50gb to 500gb at a store, call Dish Network fee 40 dollars one time and you have a HD DVR without paying extra cost. Dir TV can’t match it. Dir TV claims they have over 200 HD channels that is a flat out a lie, I have done research the most HD channel is 150 at best.

Alright, I have read most of all views on here, but the thing that hasn’t been compared yet is Receivers for DirTV and Dishnetwork. Dishnetwork Single HD Receivers you can buy a hard drive and pay one time fee of 40 and have a DVR without paying the extra fee. With DirTV forget about it. Dishnetwork has better technology than DirTv on when bad weather comes you don’t lose single, unlike DirTV. Guys, if you think I am blowing smoke than go to this webpage www.dishnettwork.com and see the facts for yourself. Sorry, DirTV no matter how many HD channels you can’t beat Dishnetwork in service, quality, pricing or technology. I am going to be installed on March 6th, and I can’t wait. Custumer service has been AWESOME to deal with! Dishnetwork is A++++ not DirTV.

I am sorry but to those who say Dish network isn’t good, take a look at that HD and DVR’s Tech that they offer. After comparing the two Dish network wins. Dir TV doesn’t off a plan that can come close to Dish Network with America everything plan for 84 dollars a month, this package includes all movie channels try to get this through Dir Tv and you will not find it. Dish Network’s DVR are far more advanced than Dir Tv’s are. I dare anyone to get all the channels for 84 plus Dish Network is taking the price down to 47 dollars for the first year! I am going to with Dish Network because frankily Dir Tv doesn’t offer enough for me. Oh, and Dish Network I get even with bad credit, Dir TV you can’t.. Sorry, Dish Network is AWESOME!! I will be a Dish Network owner soon.

ha just realized gave direct a 5-star oh well sure they deserve it as well heres 5 for dish so i dont get fired ha!!!!!!

i work for dish and i have to say most of you folks issues come from poor installs yes its true there are bad techs out there who dont care and just want to get the job done and screw the customer because they are idiots but i dont think its fair to judge an entire company on the one dumb tech you had out and yes its the companies fault but its not like they can catch every bad tech or even the awesome ones who were just having a bad day so yea i have seen awesome installs from dish and really crummy ones same goes for direct now i will admit dish techs do take more time bc we are payed hourly for now whereas direct techs are payed by the job….....
sooo hourly = slow less hurried By the job = throw it in and get it done
obviously i cant speak for any tech for any company other than myself. and also keep in mind the signal is coming from 20,000+ MILES away from the earths surface so yea satellite can be kinda touchy hence lower prices = less reliability (i.e. dish direct hughes wildblue) higher prices = more reliability (i.e. cable companies) so if your gonna have a cow if you lose your signal for awhile in some rain dont get satellite tv and if your cool with lower prices and occasional signal loss go for it.

I sell Dish Network and i just want to say that we are the nations lowest all digital price. any time you do a package change, even if you are adding a tv, a movie channel with direct they will restart your contract. with dish they will not.!! yes you may pay for your locals, so what, that only makes you have that choice unlike direct if you get your locals or not it is included in your package price. so customers who can not get their locals still pay for them with direct. they just start your package out with them included, regardless. we give you that choice. you get the 2nd tv free with us, not with direct! we strive to keep our customers happy and we are not the one with a F from the bbb. SO DIRECT TV customers dont do any changes to your package or you will never get out of that contract. with us a one time charge to downgrade. no charge to upgrade! which one sounds better!! we are upfront and honest with our customers, and that is what we strive for!! keeping our customers happy and being honest, i would never work for direct!! trust me no company can be perfect, but we do strive to be the best!! Dish customers enjoy!!! Thank you for choosing the best!!

Great

Switched to DirecTV from Comcast. Very pleased with everything. Installation was fast, especially considering I got 2 dishes (1 for international programming). The HD and standard def quality blows Comcast away. There are many more features with DTV. The remote is better laid out and more comfortable. There are tons more channels available, including more HD channels. I have not had a single problem with the service. Highly recommended!

I’ve had Directv for almost 2 years now, and I have never had a problem with it. Before I got it, I compared both Directv and Dish, and for me, Directv was clearly the better choice. I didn’t see the point of paying extra for local channels. Plus, Directv has the best sports packages.

it just work, i always had problems with Direc and cable but with dish i have had no problems
