I've been with Dirst TV for years and it works good and the programming is good.

Just updated to HD with Tiva and a nice flat screen earlier in the year and WOW.

The only complaint I have is they call me every week wanting to upgrade me on something.

I swear if you let them you would be paying $1000.00 per month.

He was just trying to educate you and keep you from looking stupid. From your response, it didn't help

I've had both! I started with Dish Network and quickly moved to Directv. My main reason for switching was the YES Network (HUGE Yankees Fan!) Dish will block out a lot of sporting events on ESPN and such and will make you purchase their baseball, football, basketball or whatever package so you can watch the games. This got VERY annoying as I don't want to watch EVERY game in each sport for $180 each package. Their customer service sucked, dish would go out 4-6 times a year and they would charge you to come fix it!!! You could get around that sometimes by threatening to cancel, but not always. As for Directv, I haven't been happier! The picture almost never goes out, even with a foot of snow on the dish! They have a TON of HD stations, customer service is decent, not great but decent. I've had to have them come out once in 3 years, and that was because I hit the buried cable line plowing. If your dish has to be any distance from the house, make SURE you dig the trench, they will basically just turn the grass over it. They will whack you $5/month for each tv hooked up though, and I think that's the only downfall I've had with them.

All in all, my vote is Directv without looking back!
