Welcome!

Best thought I can give you on the choice, is, you'll need to ask yourself the question about what type of programming is your favorite? If it's sports overall, DTV is the leader in that Dept.

If it's the most movie channels, (HBO's, etc), it's my understanding that Dish has the most choices in that category.

For me. since I'm a sports fan, it's an easy choice to stay with DTV since '99.

The last I heard, no other provider can match the overall sports pkg's of DTV.

Andy, First of all welcome to the site!

I've been a D* sub since 1997. Primestar before that, and TWC before that.

I've never looked back. I laugh at all the ads the cable industry uses to bash Sat services.

My comparison:

Outages? Minutes compared to hours or days.

Equipment? Navigator? really? are my HR-22's a little slow? yes but, it always works.

Channels? no contest, either SAT provider.

HD? Same as above.

Customer Service? Ditto

I have one brother who still insists his TWC is better. He insists i lose my signal all the time. Even after losing his service for an entire evening because of a local head end problem that still is not entirely solved.

Just my $.02 wort.
