Default Re: Dish Network VS. Comcast

We had Comcast both in Illinois and when we first moved here 9 mos. ago. We have now changed to Direct TV (not Dish Net through Embarqu) I can't say enough about Direct TV. The reception is beautiful. More HD channels than Comcast. You can use a real HDMI cable and with the Comcast boxes you can't. They say you can, but trust me you can't get a box from them that does. We tried several times.

Also, we've had some bad storms here and it just went out once for about 5 mins. And that was a really big storm.

Their installers can make you a little crazy. Tech support has been adequate. But now that we understand everything, it's really, really terrific! :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

**Just don't confuse them with Dishnet because our neighbors have great trouble with them.
