Satellite Direct Mac Rapidshare
Have access to more than 3,500 TV channels Click hereBut, which one to choose? After all, Id been a tried-and-true cable buyer for so long; I had no idea which satellite provider was best.
Oh, just pick one, my neighbor told me. Theyre all the same.
That couldnt be right, I thought.
Or could it?
So I began a month-long saga of satellite TV research, comparing Dish Network vs Direct TV every which way until I knew every last detail about each service.
Much to my familys despair, I was determined to find out everything I could about the satellite providers available, and make an informed consumer choice.
And the problem is, most sites that pretend to tell where to find the best deals are just plain awful.
Now, I did find three that were worthwhile. To find out which ones those are, you have to scroll down to the bottom of this story where youll find the links.

The good news, of course, is that there are only two companies to choose from Dish Network and Direct TV. Considering how hard it was to find many differences between the two (and ultimately decide which one was best), I sure was glad there werent others.
My first concern was whether or not I could use both companies where I live. That wasnt a problem for me, but a friend was told that Direct TV could not provide a signal in his neighborhood due to some large oak trees in the neighbors yard which interfered with their signal. But, he told me, since the signal from Dish Network came from the opposite direction (go figure), he was able to sign on with them making his decision easier than mine.
Next, I looked at service.
Both companies provided about the same level of service for relatively the same price. Packages for both Dish Network and Direct TV begin at about $19.99 a month, with their most useful family packages ranging around $50-$60.
I did find that Direct TV offered more comprehensive sports packages, including the NFL Sunday Ticket (hooray!), as well as packages covering all of the major college and professional sports teams. They also sport fewer blackout dates in many of the big cities like Philadelphia, making their packages well worth the extra money.
While Direct TV also offers other less-popular international sports such as cricket, rugby and soccer, Dish Network tends to concentrate more on the international sports coverage, according to many of the people I talked to.
