I switched from Direct TV a couple mos ago to Comcast Infinity and like it so much better. Also got rid of ATT for phone & internet and really like it better.

I have had both Dish Network and Direct TV. Customer service with Direct TV is wonderful! We did switch back to cable last year though. We live in tornado alley (Oklahoma City ) and unfortunately anytime a storm comes through we lost television signal. This can literally be life threatening in our area, so we made the decision to go back to cable. If we did not have to worry about pesky tornadoes we would still be with Direct TV.

I started out with DirecTV but switch to Dish only so I could get local channels that were not available with Direct. No complaints.

We thought about switching from Dish net. to Direct but we would have lost our network channels from Anchorage. Direct would have switched us to Los Angelos for network programming. Deal breaker for me. Love the DVR. Use it every day.

We love it. We can even bring our receivers and watch it in our motorhome when we travel.

We have had Directv for years. Only complaint------too many junk channels. Reality, infamercials, etc. Haven't called them in several years for anything.

I switched 3 years ago to Direct TV from shitty Comcast. Best decision we have ever made. As a matter of fact I just upgraded last December to their Premium package. I have almost 300 on it and it includes several music radio along with some Spanish stations which I wanted along with English for the rest.

I looked into Dish but 3 years ago but there advertising is deceptive. They offer alot of satelitte radio stations to make it look like you are getting alot of TV channels.

Direct TV is the way to go no matter what package deal you go for.

Really! We get all local stations with our DirecTV that is in the area? Even catch some of the local stations in neighboring SC. I live in GA...coastal GA.
