I checked out a couple of DTV & Dish installs before I decided to go with Dish. No complaints here. ---

my parents have dish. i have directv. i would never go back to dish. i guess it’s just a matter of opinion. i think directv is much easier to use and i like how the menu breaks down by channel type. ---

I’ve got Dish and have checked out my neighbors new HD setup with DirecTV and the Dish interface wins hands down. I still may switch this summer when my Dish contract is up. I’m not impressed by hardly any of the HD channels Direct has that Dish doesn’t, except the local MSG feed for the Sabres. That alone may drive me to switch. :tdown: ---

I live in a state that has 0 professional sports teams. I can either save money and switch to Dish, then pay ~$50-100 at a bar every weekend to watch games, or keep my DirecTV which I love and have my sports at home. This fight is always preference. GM vs Ford. Corona vs Guiness. Surprise buttsecks vs bacon in the shower. No one will ever win. ---

I’ve had direct-tv, i’ve had dish, and i now have time warner. if you like it you like it, but i was always having signal issues, and having either of them come out to repair it (main thing was first install they didn’t screw the lens to the actual dish- took 2 months to get them out there without charging a service fee). where as with tw all you do is make a phone call, and if they can’t repair it 100% their they will be out to my house, usually within 24hrs. Customer service has me staying with time warner. ---

Yeah, but I work for Dish and do side jobs for beer. Just ask Zerodaze, Joe, JayS, or Jagermeister!!! And as long as its installed correctly in the first place, you shouldn’t have any problems.
