Let's face it, D* has better commercials

Dish Networks marketing depatement needs to be taken behind Charlies Woodshed and SHOT.

DirecTV's commercials always = Quality
Dish Networks Commercials always = me wanting to watch HeeHaw after seeing them.

who watches commercials anyway?

 

[BoisePaul]

Gotta say, if I were a cable customer looking at switching instead of a long-time E* customer, the D* ads might be enough to sway me. I'd still do the research, but D* would be starting out with an advantage based on which commercials caught my interest. Luckily I'm not in that position, so that's not going to happen.

With the Advent of DVRs and the like, Commercials will go the way of 8 tracks.
You wait and see if they don't come up with a way around it though, just like DVDs that makes you watch a movie trailer before you can get to the main menu, or start playing the moive, you rented.

DirecTVs commercials are better and clever. Their spoofs on movies or whatnot is pretty creative. Where as last night I saw a Dish Network commercial. It had a super close of an over weight woman talking with a horrible hick accent. Yeah, that would make me want to switch (if I weren't already a customer).

Who watches commercials when you have a dvr?

 

[GaryPen]

Oh. I don't know. That majority of Americans who have analog or non-dvr cable and OTA to watch TV?
