[Tfug] OT: Dumping Comcast TV. Dish or Direct?

[johngalt1]

If you're big into NFL football, DirecTV is better, with 
their Sunday Ticket product. You will definitely pay for it, 
though.

I have subscribed to Dish Network for about ten years. Their 
services seemed lower in cost at the time. Haven't seen fit 
to jump ship yet. I don't follow why people fuss about the 
Tivo lawsuit.

Besides that fuss, some people get really concerned about 
issues regarding local channels on satellite, Ku-band rain 
fade and the aesthetics of dish antenna hardware.

Try http://www.satelliteguys.us for more info. You can ask 
questions there.
