I was going to say, there's also some minor diffs in programming -- there are some specialty areas where they bid against one another for rights, DTV explained when I called to inquire.

I belive this offer is still good for Dish users -

Dish Network is currently offering Cinemax for 1 cent for a entire YEAR if you switch to autopay and paperless billing.

If you have Dish Network, follow the following instructions
1. Call 1-800-333-DISH
2. Go to Billing
3. Ask about a Cinemax Promo for 1 Cent for signing up for autopay and paperless option


seems to be good untill 2010




I will be getting Dish in a few weeks so let me know how it goes.

i've had dish for a week now and love it. the dvr is really easy to use and the tech who came out to install it showed me some non-dish-related tricks with my surround sound (i can use all the help i can get).

the deal i got rocks also. the aforementioned cinemax for a $0.00/month and three months of HBO and showtime for free, plus HD turbo and the cost wasn't that big.

then i got my new 52 inch LCD Samsung HD installed on the wall and my surround sound hooked up. for the first time in my life i have the ps2, vcr (yes, gasp, i still own one), dvd player, and receiver all hooked up at the same time and know how to toggle between them. i am officially in love.

one problem, my surround sound cuts in and out. i can't determine if it's the speakers or the receiver. both were high quality when purchased (some 7 years ago) and both have been put through the ringer. i suppose i could purchase new ones of both, but that would SUCK.

Man, I am getting one of these this week.

I'm so torn.

There really hasn't been a case for either - just like personal preferences.

My parents have Dish and it is fine, but what about Direct TV?

Which DVR setup is better between the two?

I think that is what will be my deciding factor.

Does DTV have a dual tuner?

This is the best receiver that Dish has right now. The Vip722dvr


http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/o...vr/index.shtml

The 722S is coming out soon I hear. S is for the slingbox built into the unit.
The 722 will be able to do Clip & Sling and Slingcatcher. It will also come with a LCD touchpad remote.


I'm not sure about DTV. Someone else might be able to give you more details there.

I work for them so if there is anything I can answer, I will try to.

If you have any questions on thier promo's or thier packgages PM me and I will try and tell you the best set up, to avoid the most fees and get the most bang for your buck, so to speak. Also I can send you a referal that will get you a 80 dollar credit off your first bill instead of the normal $50 that they are running right now.



PS I'm working evenings now so responses would not be till morning times.

At Costco, DirectTV is going to cut my bill in half for the first year, by a third after that. They are waiving installation and the HD DVR lease fee as well!!

I hope DTV is better than Comcast. Can't see it being worse.
