Direct TV vs. Dish

Any strong opinions either way??  We currently have Dish, but are thinking of switching to Direct TV for the record in one room, watch in any room feature.

Re: Direct TV vs. Dish

  • I've only had DirectTV, but I will NEVER, ever, ever use them again. They have the absolute worst customer service (in my experience).
  • we switched to direct a little over a year ago and have been much happier with it.  we haven't had any issues, so no dealing w/ customer service. dish customer service was horrible.

  • We went to Direct after having crappy service with our local cable company and have been so much more happy. The only issues we've had with it is service going out in bad weather, but haven't had to call cs so I can't comment on that.

  • We have Dish and can watch recorded shows on any TV in the house...
  • We are very happy with DirectTV, but we had Suddenlink digital cable before that, so....

    This. We had a several bad experiences with cable and then Directv rep just happened to be at SamsClub right time, right place. We signed up that day for 1 HD DVR, 1 HD and 1 standard. They installed and I called about a month later to see about upgrading our 2nd HD to HD DVR they did at no charge and bonus, the install guy came out with 2 HD DVRs and said that's what his ticket said to install. Ok, now we have 3 HD DVRs and only added $6/mo extra since we kepth the 4th box. Love Directv! We just finished our 1st year of awesome savings $55/mo for Choice Ultimate + whole home + 3 HD DVRs + 1 standard and now our bill's about 2x that, but still better than what our cable bill was since they charged per HD DVR around $12/mo and didn't offer whole home (record in one room, watch in another).
