Dish has been ok, except we signed a 2 year contract and were supposed to be at $24 a month locked in for the first year. They lied and it was only that for a month or 2. It jumped up $10 and Dish couldn't care less. I'm worried it'll increase the second year.

I've had cable and Internet through my cable provider now for almost two years of service. I like cable better because it is underground and the weather won't affect if we have bad weather. I've tried satellite TV before in the past, and every time that it rains or snows, it messes up. And that's the main reason why I don't like it. I've tried both dish network and direct TV, and they both are the same. I mean, their packages are awesome the fact that you get more channels for the price that I am paying for on cable. But I still won't go to satellite TV.

Great thing is that I live in Las Vegas, pretty steady weather here. So Dish/Direct won't be an issue for me. My issue with my cable company is that I have internet with them and I get bumped and freezes too often as it's shared with everyone in the neighborhood.
I've had DirecTV since 1996 and love it. I couldn't do without NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB Extra Innings. I know of no other option for these packages. Living in Tucson makes the weather issue a non issue as we have 360 days of sunshine according to the tourist bureau.
I had dish once. We then switched to direct and it has been a good experience. We only switched because direct was offering a good deal. After we switched from dish, we found out that we were being still being charged. We kept getting mail from them but never opened them because we figured they were just trying to get us back, but the charges went back a years time of which they wanted us to cough up. They had documentation of the cancellation by a time/date stamp in their records. But they guy refused to budge. Long story short, I contacted better business bureau. A few weeks later, a manager from dish calls and profusely apologizes, refunding our money. He even informed me that the guy that I was arguing with was dealt with appropriately. I'm not writing this to dissuade, but to share my experience. My in laws can't wait to get back to dish from direct.
