1. I have had both Dish and Direct.

For sooooo many reasons, Dish is the better of the two.

2. I quite enjoyed Dish service, their pricing etc. was just right.

But I left them for Comcast as I depend on good internet bandwidth and wasn't getting it from DSL.

3. I asked the same question recently,

in the Lounge, I think, and the response was resoundingly pro-Direct. Haven't moved yet, so waiting a couple of weeks, but expect to do so soon. Previous tenants were very happy with Direct.

4. Dish is great

I get Al Jazeera America, and RTV, and they have tons of other channels.

5. I had DirecTV, Went to TWC. On demand is much better. n-t

[Jenoch]

6. I too prefer Comcast.

I like their channel line-up better than DirecTV, the On Demand service works great and their internet access is screaming fast.

7. I've had Direct for as long as they have been around.

It's gotten expensive though and there are so many channels but most are garbage like all the religious channels, which I especially dislike. I like it so much better than cable. Most people who have Dish like it too, so......

8. I love Dish. No problems, great service.

9. Have had Dish for at least 10 years and am very pleased -

- they even set me up with a free Roku box when they were having their negotiations with AMC and weren't showing The Walking Dead. I was going to switch providers but they sent me the Roku so that we could get TWD. Never got to use it as they reached an agreement before the next episode aired.

Great customer service, IMO.

11. Use the Roku - I think you'll like it. We watch a lot of British shows that don't air here

Can't wait for the new Doc Martin which is suppose to air in November. Plus Weeds. I just found that show and love it.

[Nite Owl]

12. There's a new Doc Martin?

I watched it on Netflix, it was great, just loved it.
I thought it was over, so this is great news.

10. Dish is good

have not had any problems and they have been helpful when I had questions. Have had it for many years.

[mitchtv]

13. thanks all for confirming Dish

It is what we have, they keep raising prices however and it gets partner riled up

14. Dish

I just got their sling box so I could watch TV on my computer in the kitchen.
