Directv is much better than DN subscription...many more channels, sports,and packages to choose from, etc....difference is like a Cadillac and a Ford escort..If U go to other DSS sites , U can read and learn how to share a subscription with family and/or friends..
No way you can compare Dish to a Ford. Dish is a great company, I also think Direct Tv is good. It all depends on what kind of package you want, especially with sports. Direct TV has the NFL package. I think Dish has great HD packages though. And I know for a fact that Dish's price stays the same.
