DirecTV or Dish network?
I had Dish for a few years when the reciever took a dump. They didn't want to send me a new one w/o charging me $$ so I called Direct and got one of their free offers. My direct reciever is starting to die, so I am playing the game all over again.
What do you guys have, and have you had better luck with one over the other?

Off the air and DVD is the best choice.
Better yet - get real old fashioned and build up a library.
Why pay for what C. J. Cherryh called "Haikktakt"?

Dish has the home protection plan, $5.99/mo. You can add or cancel it at any time. I'm pretty happy with Dish, but my wife works there (techie), so I might be a little prejudiced.

Had Direct for many years but switched over to Dish last year because they gave me a free HDTV receiver. I asked Direct for one and they said loyalty meant nothing. I see they now offer the same deal as Dish except they still make you sign up for a year on the receiver. No Contracts with Dish, I like that and the monthly fees are about the same.
I would never waste my money on a service contract. Last time my Direct receiver went out they sent me a free replacement, I just had to have a year commitment with it.
As for your question, go with which ever will give you the best deal to fill your need as the service is about the same with either one.

I hated being a pawn in the Dish vs 'the world' game Ergen likes to play with channels we watch; so I dropped Dish and went with DirecTV.
You can buy a $99 DVR and get a $100 rebate right now. Or, call DirecTV's "retention" department and see what they will do for you.

Directv all the way. My mom has Dish I have Directv. It's amazing how many channels she would have to pay extra for to get that is included in my basic package. I have to agree with a couple others too, service plans are a joke. They'll give you equipment just for re-signing, no need to waste monthly payments on something free.
