POLL: Dish Network vs. DirecTV

[MazerRackham]

So I'm trying to decide between Dish Network and DirecTV. Price of equipment and rates don't really concern me all that much, because I'm sure things are comparable.

I just want to know which is best.

Oh, and does anyone have any experience with getting local channels on either of these satellite networks? I guess that's my #1 concern...

Thanks! 🙂

Direc tv is way better than dish. Its all about customer service, and Dish sucks at it!! Signed up for the 1 year plan, get equipment for free after a year deal. Year went up, and they told me that I had to send them the equipment. They billed me for it! I gave it to comcast, for a 400 hundred dollar credit😀 I also had DirecTv, and they were alot better. I still have another dish reciever, and a whole Direc setup.

In my experience, Dish offers better local channel coverage in smaller markets.
