theres hook ups on both companies on here, it depends on what you like. Direct has more sports, Dish is cheaper and is better for DVR and multiple room systems, especially HD.

when i work for direct tv we pull dishnetwork shit down all day/ there systems imo suck there technology is advance but its crappy. i have been a direct tv customer for over 7 years. the buisness has come along way direct tv is going to have 150 hd channels soon. direct tvs high def\> timewarners by a long shot. direct tv is also cheaper a month. the downside hd dvr is 450 bucks.

Had dish for about 4 years now and never had many problems, Signal outs once in a rare while but its satellite tv expect that. Should be good to go with either one just remember TIME WARNER BAD, either companys middle package beats the shit out of what they offer. My package is the top 140 i beleive and its 49.99, plus i added that play tv game channel for 5, and dvr is 5, so taxes and all im @ about 64.99 a mo

I just got DirecTV about 2 months ago. I paid $50 for a regular HD Box, $100 for an HD DVR Box and I got a regular box for free. I love the programming and haven’t had any problems yet. I also signed up for the NFL ticket so its $20 less a month since i’m paying for it before the season starts.
