Dish Network Vs. Directv?

asdf asked:


Well right now we have Dish Network and we bought a new Sony Bravia tv. And the quality isn’t that good. So we were told to buy Hd box. Well we don’t qualify for a new hd box. So we have to buy it for 200. But we could also switch to directv and they offer a free HdDVR and free showtime for three months. Which is better? Which has more Hd Channels? help please.

Dish Network vs DirecTV vs Time Warner in Buffalo NY?

Bill M asked:


Hi,
i live in buffalo and have had TW for years, but they are constantly jacking up the price, and we are thinking about switching. What is the best deal/package from the satellite providers? Links would be great.
thanks.
I looked into it more, and am considering TW’s all the best-it says it has a price lock. it seems to be about $130 a month with all the rentals of equipment. Value is very important, and we don’t have any HDTV’s in the house yet.

Those with Dish Network what do you pay per month and what channel package do you have? I don’t have any premium movie channels etc. Also, do you have to have a home phone line for Dish? What do you do if you don’t have a home phone? If possible be as descriptive as possible for me so i can weigh my options.

Thanks!
