Interesting Post however i dont beleive you can give Dish a fair review in 1 day.Directv and Dish are fairly different in How channels are set up and what is available.Dish doesnt have a decent On Demand set up,but I heard Directv has.Directv is more for people into Sports,Dish has more Movie Channels.Other than that each company provides similiar services.However in my experience Directv has more receiver problems than I now have with Dish,(Directv was always freezing up on me)Since i switched over I dont have those issues anymore.Give Dish a few months then come back and review,it will be more informative.
