Thread: Dish Network vs. DirecTV

    I just made the switch to Dish Network. The guy started asking about my boats in the driveway so that started the conversation right.
    Going to get two tivo boxes and two regular boxes (4 total) it is going to be $55 a month w/ tivo service. I am paying around $68 per month with DirecTv.
    Anyone had bad experiences?

    I've had Dish for 2 years.
    I'm switching to Direct.
    This Tivo (DVR) works fine, the real tivo (direct) works better (follows the program not the timeslot). Ama nationals are now shown on OLN, I need to pay $11 more for that on Dish. Yeah, I'm a cheap bastard.

    Last weekend Dish network shut off my east coast and west coast network channels "by accident". I had waivers from the networks to get those channels. Now Dish Network will not turn on the channels until I go thru the wavier process again.................tell me that ain't a bunch of bull. I told them if the shut them off by accident they SHOULD be able to turn them back on...........they won't do it!!!!!

    There DVR Boxes don't work and they lie through there teeth!!! Direct TV you pay alittle more but get better service and it will always work for most part... Dump Dish before they get you into a contract. I was stuck for a year and counted the days until I was able to get out... Same goes with Nextel!!!!!!!!

    Sounds like its pretty mixed so far.
    I just hope the Tivo works well, that is what I need. I miss all the good shit and when I do get a chance to watch TV I want to watch the good shows I missed, not whats on at the time.
    BTW: Hogan Knows Best is an awesome show.
