Mac McVicker I agree with Sarah. DirecTV wants to delay the rebate as long as possible. If you fill it out the day of the order supposedly you will see the rebate the first bill. I did fill it out, and surprise! surprise! DirecTV claims they never got it! I had to fill it out again, but now it takes 6-8 weeks (their promo claim). However it is taking over 8 weeks to get it credited to my bill. And you can't really get any help from DirecTV customer support, other than they take really good notes, but no resolution. BE AWARE OF THEIR MISLEADING PROMOS! 8/31/2009
Sarah Directv promotions are misleading. Signed up for a $29.99 promotion package and was billed $50+. After three months of billing over $50/Mo and hours on the phone, cancelled the service. received a bill for $300 cancelation fee which I am refusing to pay. Called Dish and have a $29 package up front and billed correctly. Dish wins the customer service over dtv hands down. 4/14/2009
abe direct tv states it offers 31 music channel BUT THEY ARE XM RADIO channels which they cleverly DO NOT TELL YOU. Why should I pay for a RADIO channel? I can turn my radio on and listen to all channels FREE. False and misleading. advertising. Where is the FCC? 3/25/2009

Nick I think that DIRECTV is a reliable satellite TV network, but I think it is a pain that you would need TWO satellite dishes instead of one, like Dish Network provides. Dish Network also provides more affordable packages, like the Family Package, which is only 19.99/mo., DIRECTV starts at 41.99/mo.!, so I would pick Dish Network because it is more affordable. Also Dish Network also provides the most HD (High Definition) Programming ever! 24 channels, DIRECTV on offers 8. I think I've made my point about Dish Network. 8/20/2006
Janice North Direct TV is better than Dish because dish has chosen to drop Lifetime and Lifetime movie network 1/29/2006
Rick Fiorey Brian fails to mention that if you are a baseball fan and want all the baseball games from MLB's Extra Innings, Dish Network is the way to go! 12/23/2005
Lynn The author states that Dish Network has more channels than DirecTV; I have to disagree--DirecTV has more watchable channels than Dish Network who duplicates a number of their channels. 11/21/2005
