I've had both DirectTv and Dish network, never had outages on either one, I get really mad with those Comcast commercials that have the people saying that their dish always goes out, because it is just blatantly false. as for satellites, I prefer Dish, it seems to be alot faster while surfing etc. and the remote is really nice and easy to use, also the menus are really, I never liked the menus of directTv, and don't even get me started on Digital Cable (worst user interface ever). If Dish has a Tivo like receiver, I would recommend that over DirectTv, as I have been very impressed with Dish.
