Pros: Better quality, quantity and price than Cable service. Cons: Ordering through their 800 number was not smooth.
After having suffered with Comcast Cable for the past few years, when it was announced that the satellite companies would be allowed to show local network channels on their systems, my wife and I immediately made the switch over to the DISH...
Pros: many channels, info feature Cons: initial setup, finding special to eliminate initial cost
After 15 years of having cable TV, I finally had to compare it to satellite to see what is better for our needs. I considered cost ,of course,ease of use, specials, and long term benefits.
I moved to a state where basic cable with only HBO as a...
Pros: Clear picture, lots of channels, on screen menu, info button... Cons: Hooking up a lot of TVs may be pricely.
If you found this opinion that probably means you've been thinking about getting satellite television. First off, the facts; there are now only two satellite companies: Dish Network and DirecTv. DirecTv is owned by Hughes and General Motors, so it is...
Pros: Lots of shows to pick from Cons: Still nothing to watch; no local news/weather
We bought a satellite dish because we live outside the city limits and our subdivision does not get cable. Our reception was so bad, we couldn't even get network channels.
Our experience with using the dish has been great. We had some...
Pros: Good quality, reliable Cons: Cuts out in very heavy precipitation
I have had Dish Network for almost 2 years now and am very pleased with the quality of the signal and the reliability of the receiver. I have had virtually no interruption of service except for the occasional thunder storm.
Pros: channels Cons: 1st month cost,, Echostar customer service
I decided to try this upgrade to my current Dish system, mainly to get more channels. I am sorry I did. First, the $75 quoted is only for a standard system- if you have more then 2 TV's, add another $50.
I had another satellite system that I was very happy with,the only time it lost signal was during snow storms,but,the satellite company went out of business,so I had to make the decision of what satellite to get.I decided Dish.They paid me 40.00 dollars...
Pros: picture is good Cons: customer service is bad

Pros: NOT MUCH TO ADD HERE. Cons: READ FINE PRINT,DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR START UP & EQUIPMENT CHARGES &"TAKE IT W/ YOU"AD.
DISH NETWORKS advertises the ease of a move transistion "TAKE IT WITH YOU" they say. i called to inform them of my move only to sit on hold for more than 20 minutes. i finally decide that i will email the information w/ a forwarding address. i NEVER get ...
