Never will go back to dish !

We have Dish at our Ranch, but everyone in my family has DirecTv at their house. Ironically, the only one that we have ever had to call customer service for is the Dish receiver. With Dish, we constantly lose signal during storms (never had a single issue with DirecTv), have to adjust the dish about once every year or two to get it to get a good signal and, in my opinion, get much better customer service with DirecTv. I'd stick with DirecTv. Just my opinion though

If you are losing signal and having to adjust your dish once a year your equipment is not the problem. Something is moving or is lose. Whatever you have it mounted to is moving most likely. The satellite doesn't move, it's in the same spot all the time. Something on your end is moving.

Been in the satellite business for many years both selling and installing. Either company is fine if installed correctly. Direct costs more but Dish does not offer the Sunday Ticket if you're a football nut. I was a Retailer for both but dropped Direct a few years ago and strictly sell Dish now. Out of hundreds of customers I get maybe 1 call for service every 2 or 3 months.

I had dish and hated it. every time a cloud went over the house it cut out. I loved direct until apparently I didn't read the fine print and there little promotion of free nfl sunday ticket gets re enrolled every year and I had to shell out $$ for that so now I am about to switch to att u verse

Had direct. Now with dish. About the same to me. Unless you want the NFL Sunday ticket go with the cheaper one.

[Texas Stalker]

Dish fan here. I hate the Direct Tv Remote.

Neither. I have a wonderful full life without much television. I built a good antenna and receive about ten broadcast stations so we are not totally cut off from civilization. I don't give a hoot about sitting on my duff watching sports when the sun is up and I can be outside enjoying the day.

I don't know if you are keeping score but this kind of thread really can't be much help in decision making. it is just a poll of opinions and we all have one. I use dish for internet and used to have Direct tv until they decided that $86 a month wasn't enough. Problems with both providers fairly regularly. Just remember that satellite depends on a clear path between the receiver and the bird in the sky. Heavy moisture laden clouds will interfere no matter what brand of equipment or provider that you use.
