Which is better, Dish or Directv - 4

DIRECT TV Vs. Dish Network - Which is Better for You?

  When it comes to satellite television, there are basically two choices - DIRECTV or Dish Network. Which one is better for your needs?   First and foremost there is the price. Overall, Dish Network has the cheaper plans - or at least advertises cheaper plans. If you want basic local channels and your standard extras such as ESPN, USA, Disney, etc. You really could go either way. DIRECTV offers cheaper packages that they don't normally advertise on most sites. These packages are most often advertised to Spanish customers. I have one of these packages. At the time I ordered, it was called "Option Extra" - that's my English translation anyway. I essentially had all the same channels I had before with Dish Network with a few exceptions. Now you can find a similar package advertised as "Family Choice" but it doesn't have as many channels as we got with our package. Dish Network's answer to that was "DishFamily", which is again $10.00 cheaper. We got all the main channels we wanted - ESPN, TBS, USA, TLC. We did miss out on HGTV and ABC Family. So the price war goes to Dish Network.   Second there is the user interface. Dish Network is very blocky and has not changed much over the years. It is very easy to use and very easy to read. As far as I've seen it is the same on each receiver model. DIRECTV on the other hand, varies depending on the model. For example, you will see a different menu if you are using their standard receiver as opposed to TiVo. DIRECTV has more eye candy effects and can tend to be a little slower - especially on the TiVo model. On their standard model, it takes two clicks just to get to the guide. One thing that really annoys me with DIRECTV is that they don't do anything to mark the channels you don't have in the guide. If you don't have a certain channel with Dish Network, that channel will show up in red on the guide. So for ease of use, Dish Network wins again. Sorry DIRECTV, sometimes less is more.

by Anonymous1 on May 28, 2008 at 11:59 am Permalink  

Directv stinks! They misled me and told me that I could get a phone internet bundle and then they totally screwed up my order. It turns out that no internet is offered in my area. They wouldn't refund my money and then they wanted to charge me a cancellation fee. They finally agreed not to charge me a fee, but they acted like they were doing me some huge favor. They stink, don't use them

Much more than DVR

by HTHMAN - 1/18/07 5:04 PM
In reply to: thats just dvr, not tiVo. by michael902 The 622 has a dual tuner. You can drive 2 TVs (one in SD) at no extra charge. You can record all the new episodes of the shows even if the time changes and it will skip reruns. You can search for a title and it will record it whenever they put that program on. I get 26 HD stations plus my locals. You can watch one program while recording another or record 2 programs while you watch a recording.   Competition drives the programming. Right now, Dish is the best.
