Dish Network or DirecTV?

Even if it hasn't been asked, I'll add a third for YouTube TV.

Give me that and free Pluto, and I don't need much else. And I do have the Philly and Washington regional networks with it.

 

I had some people weigh in for YouTube. I got Dish for $93 and the price is locked in for three years.

 

YouTube lost MLB.tv, which means you cannot get the MLB package. In my area it doesn't have one of the RSN's and there is no indication that it is trying to get it. Also, it doesn't have A&E and a few other basic cable staples. Oh, it raises rates about every 9 months. Otherwise it is great.

It will have The Sunday Ticket and is great for storing shows and watching on mobile.

Its interface sucks, at least on my TV setup.

 

I was a DirecTV P1 for more than a decade, but their price hikes got to be too rich for me. I went out of town on an extended job and canceled it, and just never got it back. I can see whatever I want to see through an HDMI cable from my laptop to my widescreen TV, and I have OTA for local stuff. But DirecTV is a good service if you want to pay a premium for it.

 

I do Direct TV for the DVR. Dish has the better DVR for what it is worth.
