Ditching cable! Direct Tv or Dish Network?
 
Getting ready to drop suddenthief cable.:grinpimp:

Just got some quotes from dish and direct tv on premium packages and wifi. Any comments or suggestions from the people that ventured over to the satellite side?

Direct Tv for sure 199.99%

I have dish and am more than happy with it. Have cable internet and phone though

Direct tv is the way to go. I've had service with them for 5 years and never had a problem with their customer service and the weather has to be pretty bad to lose signal.

I currently have DirecTV and I have a friend that got Dish so I have a little exposure to it... I didn't see anything with Dish that would make me want to switch.

I have DSL internet through the Phone Company because I've heard the satellite internet is not as reliable and quite a bit more costly.

If I had a choice of using Cable I would probably switch to Cable over satellite... mainly for the bundling.

I have direct tv at home and dish at the deer camp. Both are good direct tv is a little easier to use.

I have dish and its good, no complaints. I have the sportsman package so I am good to go.

Most bang for your buck is Dish. I have had mine for 7 years...no complaints. My biggest complaint is losing signal during the Alabama LSU title game due to weather.

My only wish for cable providers is this.

Charge me a flat rate $50 just for basic service with everything included I get to pick up to 20 channels of whatever I want to watch. $2 a month for each additional channel. I ahte flipping on the TV with a claimed 235 channels or what ever and 190 of them or preview channels or shopping channels.

Try Cameron telephone. I wanted cable and internet. In order to have internet, I have to get phone service! So I have a phone number I don't even use just to have internet! They piss me off!

Looking at doing the same. They are getting out of hand.

i dropped DirectTV to get Cameron Communitcations ... im happy with CC, but i'm not a hard guy to please ... just let me record my shows, fix the problems i have and let me keep the channels i want

directv wasnt doing these things and CC does .. DirecTV jacked me around way too much

Montauk17 07-30-2013 01:42 PM

I had cox cable for years and they got crazy with prices. I was paying like 160 for cable and internet. Now I pay 70 for direct and 25 for internet with at&t. I was concerned with going to dsl after using cable,but it is not bad...much faster than dsl use to be. I don't have to pay for a house phone either.

Direct has the football package and local channels just saw an ad on kplc that they were dropping off of dish

PathfinderNI 07-30-2013 03:43 PM

Just switched from Directv
 
to Dish...Dish offers MeTV which plays a lot of old shows that I like....I usually end up switching back and forth every two years so I can get new equipment!!

Might have to check in to that because I feel like I'm getting screwed every month when I get the bill. I have what they call the "Advanced Package" but I only get like 3 movie channels, that never have anything on. Not to mention the phone line that's not even plugged in!! I pay almost $180 a month and the only thing I really watch is the Military Channel and Disney for the little one.
