WRONG, well I can’t exactly say that. It’s only wrong if you like sports at all. Dish Network has very shitty Channel Selection compared to DirecTV. Hands down DirecTV has the better Channel Line-up for the price. DirecTV’s lowest package is 155 Channels plus your local channels for $44.99 a month. Not sure of Dish Network’s Price but I do know their lowest package starts with just 60 channels. If you like to enjoy watching television, you like sports at all, and have HD, Go With DirecTV. But if you do not watch a lot of tv and Sports and HD are NOT important to you than go with Dish Network.
And to (Nikuk) You should call DirecTV and ask some questions, (1-866-678-9471) that will get you right through. I think some of the figures you were quoted might be wrong, and you do not need the protection plan. I can explain it to you through a PM if you need to know why.
