Direct TV vs Dish Network, thoughts?

[stan1541]

Directv all the way. I have their HD Tivo, regular Tivo and non-tivo HD reciever, HD programming, Total Choice Premier and Sunday Ticket.

Their HD DVR right now is 300$ plus you pay a monthly fee for it, so that does suck, but its triple the capacity of the other HD DVR's. It will record 75 min of live tv per channel instead of 30. A non HD tivo and a non tivo HD reciever are free. Don't go to Directv to get your set up. Find a local company and maybe you can get all the equipment for free with a two year agreement.

Directv has launched and will launch a couple sat's in the near future, and they say they will have capacity to have 150 HD channels by next years end. Not 150 channels, but capacity. Right now the channels they offer are limited, but its going to be stronger sooner.

I have liked their service, their rates are very fair. I think i pay 70$ a month.
