In Reply to: Dish vs. Direct vs. Comcast -- Any recent experience? posted by clarkjohnsen on July 17, 2006 at 08:35:05:
Unfortunately, each provider is more interested in signing new customers than making the old ones happy. So I sign up for the service and then change at the end. I get the best deal from the other provider because I am a "new customer" and so on and so forth. I don't see any great difference. When I switched to Dish Network, I thought their receivers for HD and DVR were better but the TiVo was certainly hard to give up. Probably by the time I am ready to go back to Direct TV, the HD TiVo will be much better.
