Why I Chose Dish Network Over the Competition by Anna T.

When my family and I first made the decision to switch from cable over to satellite, we had no idea what company to go with. We had seen advertisements for all the major satellite companies, and they mostly just left us feeling pretty confused as to what direction to go in. We were looking for a satellite company that offered a large selection of channels including HD channels, good prices on Pay Per View, lots of programming and of course a good price for all those things. We took a close look at the finer points of each of the two major satellite companies: DirectTV and Dish Network. We ultimately chose Dish Network, and I know we made the right decision.

If you just skim the surface of what each company offers, there doesn't seem to be much difference. Both companies charge the same price for Pay Per View, have a decent channel lineup, and also offer a lot of commercial free music channels. However, when you take a closer look you'll see that you're actually getting a better deal with Dish Network. Most importantly, Dish Network is cheaper.

You can get up to 350 channels with Dish Network for $74.99 a month. With Direct TV, you can get 250 channels for $96.99 a month. That was the biggest selling point for us. It's hard to beat more channels for less money. Dish Network also gives you a free DVR and a free HD receiver. DirectTV will give you those things, too, but only after a $99 mail-in rebate. Dish Network also has a free 18 month protection plan. DirecTV charges you $5.99 per month for their protection plan.

After looking everything over closely, I could see no reason to choose Direct TV over Dish Network. Dish Network had everything we were looking for and at a better price, too. I was also very pleased with the service. My installation was free, and they were here to put it in for us just a few short days after we called. Before they left, they showed us exactly how to operate our receiver and our remotes. They were polite, helpful and left us with a number to call if things weren't working right.

There was no reason to call, of course. Everything worked great, and we are still enjoying our Dish Network. The signal is also fantastic. We rarely ever get any interference, even when there's a bad thunderstorm going on.
