I very much agree with the DirecTV vs. Dish sentiment. My experience may not be typical, but it was very, very annoying. I spent an afternoon trying to get service for my grandmother. I called DirecTV, they referred me to a regional installer, who gave me the number of a local installer who asked for my zip code who then told me they couldn't install there. I called DishTV. One call, just ONE CAll was all it took. Made an appointment and the guy actually showed up when he said he would. DishTV rules. And they're cheaper.
