Dish Network is by far the better value over DirecTV. As a provider who has promoted quality service (DTV) has done this in it's effort to justify their price. The bottom line here is Dish Network costs less money monthly for the same amount of channels. How they do this is relatively simple.Dish Network uses its own eqiuipment. They engineer, test, and manufacture all of their receivers. Whether is is the Dish DVR , Duo DVR, or the Dish HDDVR Duo receiver. ( A single unit that can provide HDDVR service to one TV and DVR to a secondary without the extra monthly payment. ( It's like getting a free Dish Network DVR ! )
So here's a few tricks the other Satellite TV Provder (DTV) uses that you want to be aware of...
Their low monthly payment for the first year consists of 21-26 dollars in savings for their new customer promotion. Hence if you start off paying 44.99 expect to be paying 65.99 to 70.99 the following year.
To Acquire that payment there are a series of hoops you have to jump through....On line rebate forms, mail in coupons, email confirmations, etc....This process weighs heavily on Direct hoping you will not be able to fulfill the conditions of the rebate in the alloted time to activate them and therefore losing the promotions that brought you to their Satellite TV sysytem anyways. Dish Networks promotions take effect day one with no Dish Network Coupons to fill out no mail....It's just that simple. Direct TV retailers do not always do the best job of informing their customers of price credits. Larger Premium packges have savings of 20-30 dollars for your first month or so which would price out a 99.00 package to 60 for the first three months. Some People are under the impression this is their monthly promtion price it is not The premium credit is 26 dollars average.
A new Dish Network customer will save 15.00 a month for their first year add that to your first statement and that will be your monthly payment.
