Direct TV vs. Dish Network?

[bjarvis]

We currently have cable TV via Comcastic. Contrary to their marketing campaign, they are not comcastic: they are craptastic at best. Just last week, we observed 11 channels frozen for over 3 hours. Frequently, tv programs paused, garbled or lose audio. They suck.

I know satellite systems have their own issues: I've had Bell ExpressVu for some time. Still, we've reached the point where we're willing to bear the misc pains of satellite rather than continue with cable.

Does anyone have a strong opinion of Direct TV versus Dish Network? As near as we can tell, the channels we want are available on both and the prices aren't all that different.

Thoughts?

These days, I think it comes down mostly to channel lineup. Otherwise, both services are basically the same, using pretty much the same technology.

It's something I've considered often, and if it worked better with our current TiVo, we probably would have already become subscribers.

Best of luck!
