DISH NETWORK vs. DIRECTV ?
Having sold both DISH Network and DirecTV, we'll tell you why we now offer DISH Network exclusively.
What's
offered
by
what
programming
packages?
For
years,
DirecTV
had
the
clear
lead
in
the
number
of
channels
and
number
of
specific
types
of
programming
specialties.
That
has
changed
recently.
DISH
Network
today
offers
more
channels
overall,
and
almost
as
many
specialty
sports
and
movie
offerings.
Winner-DISH
Network
What
are
the
pricing
plans?
Hardware
discounts
favor
DISH
Network,
however,
DirecTV's
purchase
packages
are
today
quite
competitive
with
DISH
Network's.
Wise
consumers
need
to
ask,
How
Much,
How
(and
When)
Am
I
Paying
for
The
Hardware,
i.e.,
is
it
cash
up-front,
a
"In
Home
Service
Plan"
models
or
"free"
model
because
of
poor
or
no
credit?
Winner-DISH
Network
What's your programming preference?
Sports?
DISH
Network
offers
its
highly
popular
College
Game-Day
Plan
and
has
several
season-long
pro
sports
packages.
However,
if
you
have
to
have
every
NFL
game
the
choice
as
with
the
NFL
Sunday
Ticket
DirecTV
has
it
covered.
Otherwise,
the
sports
offerings
are
similar,
focusing
on
multiregional
collegiate
sports
packages,
mostly
from
Fox.
Again,
consumers
should
focus
on
what
they
want
to
watch
and
what
is
typically
offered
by
which
packages,
and
for
what
prices.
Winner-DirecTV
Movies?
Both
DISH
Network
and
DirecTV
offer
the
same
number
of
premium
movie
channels,
such
as
Starz
Encore,
Showtime
and
HBO.
Prices
may
differ
slightly,
depending
upon
the
package
in
favor
of
DISH
Network.
DISH
Network
currently
offers
a
promotion
called
DISH
PAK,
where
8
Starz/Encore
channels
are
received
at
nearly
half
the
regular
price.
The
real
difference
here
is
in
the
number
of
Pay-Per-View
(PPV)
movie
channels
offered,
where
DISH
Network
has
a
slight
advantage
for
the
time
being,
with
up
to
60
PPV
choices/day
versus
DirecTV's
55
channels.)
Winner-DISH
Network
Adult?
DISH
Network,
with
6
total
"adult"
channels,
has
the
advantage
here.
DirecTV
offers
5
"adult"
channels.
Winner-DISH
Network
International?
DISH
Network
definitely
has
cornered
the
market
here,
offering
today
approximately
30
foreign
language/culture
channels.
DirecTV
offers
10,
most
of
which
focus
on
the
Spanish
language
audience.
Winner-DISH
Network
General
Interest?
DISH
Network's
packages
are
amply
described
as
offering
favorable,
"general
interest"
programming
and
continues
to
add
more
on
a
regular
basis.
Yet
DirecTV
also
provides
just
about
every
channel
DISH
Network
does,
albeit
sometimes
in
different
packages
and
for
different
prices.
Consumers
need
to
decide
what
they
can
spend,
what
they
want
to
watch,
and
which
packages
offer
the
best
value
based
upon
those
criteria.

What's
your
monthly
budget?
By
our
estimates,
DISH
Network
today
is
charging
about
$45
per
subscriber
per
month
for
programming
delivered
to
their
consumers
nationwide.
While
DirecTV
customers
are
claiming
roughly
a
$51
on
average
per
subscriber
rate
per
month.
Digital
Cable
subscribers
pay
the
most
for
the
least
in
programming
at
an
average
of
$55
per
