Dish?? Is it worth the switch from DirecTV??

As long as it's not raining.

I would recommend U-Verse if that's an option for you

Always thought it was a grade below DirecTV, just cause I don't know one person who has Dish. But may have to switch.

Is it doable??

we made the switch about 4 years ago and haven't looked back
1. better price
2. better service contractors (of course that is a local issue)
3. better customer service
4. We actually get better service with Dish than DicTV but I think that has to do with installer recommending having the dish on a pole and not roof mounted.

DirectTV will be in the food shortly. If you have held out this long, is because you are either lazy, or not irrational to what drives the tv companies. Demand.

It is currently there and will continue so and as soon as the partnership is announced, I will be laughing with all my HD glory while the others switched prematurely to a substandard service.

People that say one is better than the other...first they need to tell you if they have had both, so they can give an objective answer.

I have had only Dish and have been very happy. I DO lose signal during very haevy rains, but that does not happen often. I ypically DVR most, if not all programs and watch later. If I DO happen to lose the signal I can always watch a DVR program.

No experience with DirecTV, so I have no opinion.

I have no experience with DirectTV, but have had no issues with Dish. All the games I want to see, in HD. More channels that I ever want to watch.

IF there is heavy rain to the south of me, I may lose signal for a few minutes, but it's never a prolonged deal, and it has to be pretty heavy.
I would assume that would be similar with Direct.

Dish was smart enough to jump on board with the SEC network pretty quickly, so there's that...


ETA: To clarify 'all the games I want to see'... I'm not that huge of a NFL fan, rather watch a good college game any day - so the NFL Ticket is not an issue with me.
