Who's Got The Best Possible Satellite TV Deals

By Brian Stevens


The satellite deals from the two top satellite TV companies - Dish Network and DirecTV are pretty much identical. So the question is which satellite TV provider delivers the absolute best deal for you? Depending on which programs you want to watch, which one offers you the most programming for the least amount of money?

Who Has The Best Programming Deal?

For $29.99 monthly. DirecTV offers a program bundle that features 140 satellite TV channels. Dish Network charges $24.99 for 190 channels, and they additionally give you a free DVR receiver (digital video recorder) in as many as 3 rooms in your residence.

The channels provided by the two providers include your local channels, movie channels, sports channels, pay-per-view films and presentations, religious channels, news and weather programming, world-wide channels, special interest channels, interactive programming, and online game channels.

Which Provider Has the Most Channels?

With DirecTV service you get 250 satellite TV channels, 60 pay-per-view movies a month, and 77 Sonic Tap music channels.

Dish Network comes with in excess of 350 TV channels, 112 popular music channels, and offers 75 pay-per-view motion pictures per month.

Who Has Got The Most High Def Channels?

DirecTV has 160 HD satellite TV channels, and Dish Network has 200 Hi-def channels.

Who's Got The Very Best Equipment Offer??

Both satellite providers will give you a totally free satellite system that includes a satellite TV dish, satellite signal receivers, and the remote controls to work the receivers.

DirecTV will give you a free basic receiver, but if you need a digital video recorder receiver in order to record your television shows, or an HD receiver so you can see your television shows in HD, you need to buy a more expensive program package.

Whenever you sign up with them you get their state of the art DVR/receiver - the Genie - absolutely free. The Genie will let you record up to 1,000 hours of your favorite shows, pause, rewind, as well as fast forward live shows, and record as many as 4 television shows while you're watching another show.

Dish Network will likewise supply you with their state-of-the-art DVR/receiver - the Hopper - for free. Using their receiver you're able to record up to 2,000 hours of your favorite programs, pause, rewind, and fast forward live television shows, and record up to 5 shows while you're watching another live show.

The Lowest Priced Installation

Your satellite television system will be installed for free in as many as 4 rooms of your home with DirecTV. Your satellite television system will be set up in up to 6 rooms of your home with Dish Network. Installation times for both companies is usually from 1 to 5 business days once you buy your service.

The Best Picture Quality

There is no difference in picture quality among the two satellite TV providers, mainly because the two providers send out their programs in digital and also HD formats.

The Most Efficient Customer Service

Both companies offer 24/7 e-mail and telephone assistance when you have a problem with your system or have questions about the functioning of your system.

Who's Got The Top Customer Approval Rating?

DirecTV is now ranked number 2 in customer satisfaction amongst all the satellite and cable television service providers, while Dish Network is ranked number 1.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for the most TV channels, the most hi-def programming, the most music stations, the most pay-per-view movies, and the most world-wide channels at the cheapest price, the best satellite TV offer is going to be Dish Network's.

In addition, Dish Network gives you a free digital video recorder so you can record as much as 200 hours of programs, an HD receiver so you can view your shows in high def, or even a combination of the two.

As a result, I feel the Dish Network deal is definitely a much better deal compared with DirecTV's deal.
