Thinking of going with satellite for new house, and I can't decide. Dish seems a lot cheaper than either DirecTV or Cable, but I can't seem to find where they say what they charge after the two year price lock.

I've had both

Directv is far better IMO

i pay $130 a month for the 2nd highest tier package...don't remember what it's called.

I call them every 6 months or so and see if they have promotions....usually get $10-$30 off my bill for 3-6 months.

hope this helps

Dish is way better than Direct. Dish technology easily puts them over the top.

I've had both.

I have had both. Im with Directv. I have had better luck with getting discounts and replacement receivers etc with Directv. Charlie is cheap.

I have had both, and go with whoever will give you the best deal. I have bundled my att cell phones with directv so for me that's the better deal.

I had Directv, then got Dish. Learned my lesson and went back to Directv.

I can't speak about the pros or cons of Dish.

But I can tell you I've been happy with all facets of Directv for nearly 20 years.

Prices, programming options & PQ are comparable which, is to be expected. That said, if technology is your thing, DISH simply has no peer - years ahead of any other player, cable or satellite.

I just switched back to DirecTV from Dish. I always shop for the best deal after my contract expires. It boils down to what's important to you. Best technology = Dish. NFL fan = DTV. All things being equal, I prefer Dish.
