re: DirecTV or Dish Network? (Official thread)

Depends on what you are really wanting to get as far as pricing and channels. I had DTV for 2 years and recently switched to Dish. I had no issues with DTV at all and enjoyed it. Had the ultimate package with every movie channel and bill was not high. I switched to Dish bc they have the tailgater portable satellite I will use for tailgating. I will have SEC, Big 10, and PAC 12 networks plus the multi sport package with NFL red zone. I don't care for Sunday Ticket as I much rather watch college football more and then the Saints on Sunday. They both have comparable HD channels. I will say that you can have folders for Dish with your favorite channels and only those pop up so you don't have to surf all 300 channels for your favorite and can have 4 folders. Also dish had the slingbox technology built into the Hopper so you can watch what you have at home on your phone as long as you have Internet connection.
