SatelliteTV-Site.com has done a comparison between the Satellite TV Deals that are offered by the DISH Network and Direct TV.
There is actually very little difference between Direct TV and DISH Network. From personal experience as a technology journalist I can say that the number of complaints about DirecTV was more apparent than any from the DISH network, mainly down to a poor DirecTV DVR.
However, the good news is that DirecTV will still have TiVo DVRs available throughout 2008. The reason this is good news is because TiVo offers the best DVR hands down. Anyone who owns one will know why – they are just so simple to use and have a great number of features which makes recording TV so easy.
With that in mind I would personally go for DirectTV and get myself hooked up with a TiVo DirecTV DVR. Also for the sports fans Direct TV slightly more sports packages.
Here is a low down of the deal available from Direct TV and DISH Network. Both start at $30 a month for the basic package:
