DirecTV Vs Dish Network

April 23rd, 2007

No doubt about it, the digital TV industry has really taken off over the past decade. With so many different companies all vying for subscribers, and so many special offers, it’s hard to know which TV service to pick. Consumers want the widest range of channels and programming and the highest quality audio and video available, all for the best price possible.
One of the biggest choices TV watchers have to make right now is deciding between cable TV and satellite TV. There are many differences between these two types of television service. The customer should be well-informed about both before signing up for that two-year subscription.

Programming Selection:

TV lovers should know from the start that satellite TV offers many more benefits than cable TV.
Cable TV does not offer the same image quality as satellite TV, in part because of the restrictions of its bandwidth. In fact, the satellite TV picture is usually twice as good as the cable TV picture. Because satellite TV is pure digital TV, it results in a superior viewing experience for the customer. With cable TV, on the other hand, the signal is weakened because it must travel from its system base and serve a number of different homes, and because it changes from an audio and video format to radio frequency and back again before it reaches a customer’s TV.

Dish Network America Top 60 starts at $19.99 a month with local channels, but they do not require a contract, so you can cancel your subscription without penalty.

So it really depends on what channels you would be most interested in watching, if your a really big sports fan I’d reccomend DirecTV hands down, if you’d prefer to have a wide array of channels then Dish Network is the one for you.

I’m sure your worried about how much you are going to need to spend on this, well since both DirecTV and Dish Network are in a position where they can afford the satellite equipment, they offer it free with your subscription. They’ll even set it up free of charge so you don’t have to worry about it.
