Since you pay a similar price, whether other options are better is personal preference.

What would make another option better? Maybe a channel you cannot find, an old show that is not available with Dish's On-Demand, a movie that's only available on Prime or Peacock, hockey games from your favorite hockey team across the country, or four NFL games at a time. If you want those but cannot get them with Dish then that might make the other service better.

If I am traveling I can watch my channels wherever I can get a sufficient internet connection. I know DirectTV had a streaming app and I suspect Dish does too.

For me, quality of the signal varies from service to service. If I remember correctly, the video quality of most channels on Dish was very good though occasionally there might be an issue.

If you were paying two or three times as much for the same programming, like some are reporting for cable TV, then streaming would be better. If you are paying nearly the same amount and are happy with the channels you have then maybe there is nothing better.
