All satellite tv is not created equal
So here we are comparing two satellite television providers, with the goal of finding the one that fits your needs and gives you the best viewing experience. While the rest of the world is looking for the one that give you the most bang for your buck! Where and how do we start when kicking off the age old (well soon to be age old) debate of Dish Network vs. Direct TV? <br><br> First, let’s take a look at the number of channels and the type of channels that are offered from each satellite provider. <br><br> Basically the offerings of each service are pretty similar. In terms of quantity Direct TV tends to have more options when compared to Dish Network. For example, using $40 per month as the bench mark, Dish Network offers a satellite package of 100 channels with the local channels. On the other hand, Direct TV offers a package of 140 top channels and includes 50 XM Satellite radio channels for the same amount. This price for the Direct TV includes local channels as well. Both offer more than 250 program channels, all-digital programming, HDTV (high definition TV) options, and DVR (digital video recording) capabilities. <br><br> By comparing the offerings based on your budget, you will find the right satellite provider for you and your needs. <br><br> Another comparison that you will want to make is the price of the components that are needed to get the satellite programming. <br><br> Like a lot fee for service operations these days, these components are offered free if you accept a contract for a particular length of time, but sometimes there is a rental fee that is associated with components, which can cause your monthly fee to be more than the programming cost. Another high point…FREE INSTALLATION!! Both will install your new satellite equipment in up to four rooms. <br><br> With stellar ratings in the customer service department both companies top the industry in their attempt to satisfy the customer. Current polls have Dish Network ranked #1 in customer service for cable and satellite providers, with Direct TV right behind them at #2. A 24 hour a day, seven days a week customer service line, allows you to get in touch with either of them any time you need them. <br><br> If you are a sports fan Direct TV takes a step up by offering extensive sports packages, while the Dish does not. This does cost extra, but based on customer response, the extra features that you get from these packages may prove to be well worth the additional cost. <br><br> The sports that offer you this amazing bird’s eye view are NASCAR, NBA basketball, MLB, NFL football, hockey, and more. So if you are a sports fanatic, then you will want to consider Direct TV for this programming. <br><br> When comparing Dish Network vs. Direct TV, you should always decide what is most important to you. The viewing experience may be different for each person so be sure to read and understand carefully before you buy. Because remember there is no wrong choice unless it’s the wrong choice for you! Happy hunting! <br><br> Submitted By: Madu Irondi<br><br>
