Check out these funny videos.
Now D* is BS'ing its adds.
DIRECTV: DIRECTV vs Dish Network: Overview (http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/competition/dish/compare)

Yep its about time ;)

Yes D* fails to mention that their Choice pack is $58.99 per month
While E* Top 200 that has all the channel D* listed and more for $52.99.:rolleyes:

And don't even get me started on the Channels that only play HD part of the time. :rolleyes:
About 30 + RSN's are the first thing that come to mind.:p

About 30 + RSN's are the first thing that come to mind.:pI totally hear what you are saying and do agree with you to a certain point. I am one who buy's sports packages and LOVE the HD RSN's On dish i could not do this. So to me both company's lie and tell the truth to a certain point!

I totally hear what you are saying and do agree with you to a certain point. I am one who buy's sports packages and LOVE the HD RSN's On dish i could not do this. So to me both company's lie and tell the truth to a certain point! I know, I just think its sad and funny!
Funny that they really are going to claim all their HD is HD all the Time. Thats a suing waiting to happen.:)
Sad because some poor non satellite guys member is going to see the Video about not getting FX and Pay D* $58.99 per month on the choice pack ,when in really the Top 200 offers more for Less $52.99 ,Just like E* adds do really claim.
D* is most times right on key, But lately they are really off their game.:)

as usual you speak the truth hemi but for whatever reason i pay less with D than with E. not including any discounts or promotions. i pay about $20 less than what I did with E. and with E i only had 1 dvr and one receiver.with D i have two dvrs. don't get it but whatever i'll take it. :)

I pay less as well Rey. Actually since Dish has changed their pricing on receivers I pay a TON less with Directv then I would with Dish.

Thats what I keep hearing But lets see!:confused:

How much in equipment fees would it be with Dish now for the following.

3 HD DVR's
1 HD
2 SD DVR's (One is a R22 which can be converted to HD DVR if needed.)

Right now with Directv it is an extra $25 on my bill. What would the extra fees be with Dish?

Hemi I got no reason to make that up.you know me better than that. I could care less about either company and it surprises me that you're demanding proof from me out of all people. I pay less with D*. I ain't got time or the interest to spend an hour looking for the info to try to prove u wrong. Why would I do that? You say E* is cheaper for you,why would I doubt that??? That's not the case for ME. Lying about that is pointless and stupid

Well your fees would be $32 Not $25
$7 DVR fee
And $25 for 5 addtional receivers
3 722's and a 211.
Would be $44 Per month in fees.
But it would also be 7 rooms.

DVR fee is included in my current package.

But the setup you propose is crap. I hate only having one tuner per TV. I would need a dedicated box per TV to make me happy.

This is the War Zone! If your claiming its $20 less then just simple prove it.
No big deal!

JAG posted it, And with 6 rooms of service like he has ,I really wouldn't doubt D* is cheaper.
But atleast he's attemting to back up his claim.:confused:

Hemi

Where is the Dish DVR fee you had posted in your pricing. That would take it up to $50 in fees for the price I am paying $25 today.

DVR fee is included in my current package.

But the setup you propose is crap. .I agree Thats a benifit D* has.:)
I don't think E* will let you have 6 VIP 612, I think they are afraid of the account stacking.:D

Hemi

Where is the Dish DVR fee you had posted in your pricing. That would take it up to $50 in fees for the price I am paying $25 today.OK $50, But Lets See all of your Pricing.
Top 250 62.99 for 7 rooms of service

But my bill is only $95 per month. Sure a lot less than your $116 and the only part I am missing is the crappy Encore channels. I can add them for $12 and have Starz as well and only be at $107 a month.

don't have the interest like you do to spend an hour looking up the info. it's what it is. if E* was cheaper i would say it. i have zero emotional attachment to these things unlike other people.;) i do take offense when someone tries to call me a liar though. No one called you a liar Rey, But you still refuse to back up a claim, your the only one taking offence over NOTHING.
OK don't worry about it.
Jeesh!:what

Rey, There are just people out there that refuse to believe that Directv is actually a better choice for some people. ;)

Yes you are lazy but we all knew that already. :D

But my bill is only $95 per month. Sure a lot less than your $116 and the only part I am missing is the crappy Encore channels. I can add them for $12 and have Starz as well and only be at $107 a month.D* has the Choice Ultimate pack now. For $68.99
You don't have to order Starz for Encore if you don't want.

Rey, There are just people out there that refuse to believe that Directv is actually a better choice for some people. ;)
its ok i got nothing personal against hemi. he actually convinced me to move to D when I had E and i'm grateful for that because i didn't have the balls to do so. so many years with E had me afraid to make a change, :o but i'm very glad i did. the moment E is a better option for me is the day i go again :D

Yes you are lazy but we all knew that already. :D
true :p:D

D* has the Choice Ultimate pack now. For $68.99

I know they have that package but I would not upgrade to it as I would lose my HD and DVR included just to get the Encore channels.

Rey, There are just people out there that refuse to believe that Directv is actually a better choice for some people. ;) That might be true,
But I want to see the Itemized Version.

Com'on I gave you all alot of Itemized Pricing.:)
You say you Pay $95 per month
, whats your packages though?
Choice HD DVR? $75.99???

I know they have that package but I would not upgrade to it as I would lose my HD and DVR included just to get the Encore channels. I thought we were losing the grand fathered packs anyway.
My Choice pack is getting Raised to $58.99 and my DVR fee is $7 now.
Was $55.99 and $6

mine is choice dvr 75.99. i have two dvrs but the first fee is waived.

its ok i got nothing personal against hemi. he actually convinced me to move to D when I had E and i'm grateful for that because i didn't have the balls to do so. so many years with E had me afraid to make a change, :o but i'm very glad i did. the moment E is a better option for me is the day i go again :D D*12 may even the score and then some.;)

D*12 may even the score and then some.;)
hey i replied to your last pm and sent you another one. actually two

That Choice Ultimate seem's like a good deal. At least I think so.
We just need D* step it up in the HD offering department, and get rid of that $5 HD extra fee.

D*12 may even the score and then some.;)
but you can understand my doubts after D11. yes i know it resolved other issues but not really a boost for new HD additions like D10 did. i hope this time i get to experience something similar.

If you have the Choice Extra with HD DVR the Choice Ultimate is not a good deal at all. As I stated you can get more for less with other packages.

$75.99 Choice HD DVR
$5 HD Extra
$12.99 Starz Encore
$94 but includes Starz.

Or $68.99 Choice Ultimate
$15 for all HD
$7 DVR
$91 and No Starz Channels

Now if you Have Ultimate Base pack, do you get a discount on Starz?

this war died quick lol :D:D

Thats cause the dish forum is swamped with unhappy wing dish customers, and Very Happy Eastern and Western Arc customers.
D* subscribers are just waiting and praying for some New HD.

I will say one thing when Dish does one new Good thing , They always do something to F%&* some of their customers. EVERY TIME!
I'm surprised to see that almost 40% of 222 satellite guys subscribers are wing dish customers so far.
Sorry But that Huge IMO, since the 1000.2 customers are most likly 75% of the USA.

Looks like Direct is uping the Ante a bit to sign up. Now you can get a Free HD DVR and a free HD reciver or another HDDVR for 99, got the info in my latest weekly mailer to come back to Direct

mine is choice dvr 75.99. i have two dvrs but the first fee is waived.

We have the same package, and like you, mine is cheaper for what I have with D* than it would be with E*. Been a few months since I compared, or looked at switching, but its a few bukcs less to stay where I am.

I cant really tell you why, because I honestly do not remember. I am sure I have it wrote down somewhere. Perhaps its having two dual tuner DVRS that made it higher?

3 months of HBO & Showtime.

I have 1 Dish 625 for 2 TVs with AT250/w locals+HBO+Showtime+Starz and Cinemax(for .1 for a year).My bill increase was $1.44.:)

Not as blatant as comparing 120 channel package to a 210 channel package and bragging that yours costs less.

They are comparing AT120 and Choice (150) with a 2 tv setup, not with Choice xtra. You keep posting that but you are wrong, they are not comparing those two packages. If they were comparing it with xtra it would be $408 yearly difference, not $288.

Then this is wrong. Looks like the labels may be off.

If they were comparing it with xtra it would be $408 yearly difference, not $288. No, the actual problem is that Dish Network doesn't say what they are comparing.

It is very obvious that is the problem, which is the reason why DirecTV sued. The packages weren't labelled; the argument that this is for a two television setup is not mentioned.

That is why there is this tiny print called legalese, and within the ad nowhere describes the packages and setups being compared.
