Well what do u have and do u wish to change?

I have dish network ( 1 942 hd dvr and 3 811 hd recievers)

i recently tried out cablevision digital service becuase of the 18 free hd channels the hd was good but everything else sucked so im back with dish again.

now that dish has the 10 voom channels for 5 bucks its really the only way to go as far as i see it.

btw anyone who has directv hows the high def there?

I love DirecTV and the football package is pretty much why.  The high def is great but I’d like more channels.

I have DirecTV. It’s better then cable, but I don’t watch much TV. The Tivo is great. 😊

i have directv and i like the large selection of discovery/history channels. it is cheaper than adelphia cable and we get way more channels, so satellite is by far the best deal here. i am yet to try dish network.

I tried Dish and I didn’t really like it. Now I have Direct TV for some latin channels that IO doesn’t have. But IO kills any satelite service out here.

If you want quantity get Sat for sure. Problem is, Sat does suck where it has rain (we have alot of it here). I have sat in my apt, and my family has cable, and they like it alot.
