re: DirecTV / Dish Network

I've had both and prefer DISH hands down. I had Directv first and upon their promotional deal expiring tried to re-nogotiate twice with them, and told them I was going elsewhere then. DISH gave me a deal about $20 less/month for the same or better programming as directv's deal. But what is much better with DISH is their customer service and tech help if there are any issues. Much easier to get them on the phone, and am talking to people who aren't in India trying to walk me through a technical issue. Of course directv was quick to call back and want my business after I pulled the plug on them on moved on to DISH.
