I love it, just as long as we keep the bedroom door closed from all ears then we can have throw down hard core sex that makes us money haha
fuck it we can have sex on money never did that before -
Cable, digital, satelite, whatever. I've never had it before. Those two companies are the ones I see ads for, and so I checked them both out but they seem to be pretty much the same so I figured I'd ask here.
Any more losers wanna point out that I don't know what I'm talking about?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can only get NFL Sunday Ticket with DirecTV... if, of course, that's an issue...Originally posted by RedShoeI'm 30 years old, and I've never had cable... and now I'm ready... Which one should I get? and why?Comment

I want those murder shows on CourtTV, and the food shows like Iron Chef, and the "fix up your shitty house" shows like this old house or whatever their called.
And of course Sopranos, and Penn and Teller's BullShit.
Discovery shows are ok too. National Gegraphic shows are good. No Crocodile hunter though or any other show where some jackass chases animals around. Not that I care about the animals, it's just those guys annoy me.

Go with Direct TV, why? well I really don't know but I use them and there service is very good. I never been with Dish Network but never really heard anything bad. A buddy down the street showed me his Direct TV with the Sunday ticket and the TiVo system and I was sold on that.
BTW, I think you get more bang for your buck at Direct.
OH, and for the rumors about it going out during the rain BULLSHIT...Comment

what package do you have?Originally posted by plyndrtyGo with Direct TV, why? well I really don't know but I use them and there service is very good.

I looked thru the packages and all I really want from DirectTV is the basic package (total choice with local) and add HBO and Showtime.
I'd want the same with Dish, but on their site it doesn't say how much it costs to add HBO and Showtime or even if you can add it to the base package at all.
I npoticed that on Dish if you go from the 60 channel to the 180 channel all the do is add 100 music channels. I HATE MUSIC! I don't even have a radio in my truck, why would I want it on my TV?
I'm kinda leaning towards Direct TV as it is, bu weren't they under investigation awhile back for some kind of fraud? Or was that DISH? Or a 3rd company?

I have the total choice with the local channels and that has pretty much eveything we need (Over a hundred channels). The HBO pachage and Showtime are extra but don't know the price, wife and I are going to the movies or buying the DVD when it comes out so we realy don't need them.Originally posted by RedShoewhat package do you have?

As for the fraud, you got me. It's either another company or very old issue or one of those news stories that got by me...
Get the TiVo and watch out for those deals from the local installers on the free boxes. Direct will charge you $4.95 for every additional box. You can get the boxes as back up or whatever just when you need them call Direct and there on within seconds.
The very cool thing with Direct TV is when you call them to add or delete stuff it is instant. You don't go through the whole wait a week to have some guy come install a fiter on your line...
Billing is automatic, they don't send a bill and want your CC number so I just gave them the AMEX so I can earn points

One more thing RedShoe, If you get the TiVo you are going to need 2 cable lines going to it. If you find an ad in the paper for the free install it's NOT. This guy comes out to my house ans start telling me about the ass ake going into my addict and wanted to charge a fee of $35 to run the cable. I said OK because I know what the addict is like and after an hour and not even started work he wants another $15 bucks. I am like fine just get it done.

This was the local contractor not Direct so with that said, RUN THE CABLES YOUR SELF before they show up

Definitely get Directv with DVR. Its the shit
I have it with total choice and locals and have never failed to find something on any time of day or nite that I wanna watch. Cant say ive ever had that when ive had cable. I think Dish network gets ya sucked in with the lower price and no commitment thing but lookk at the channel offerings. Only 60 I think. But Directv gives ya over 100 fora commitment. And the DVR service fucking rocks. I checked the other nite and I already have 39 shows on Season pass. lol As for movie channels, I think the packages start at 12 bucks each and get cheaper the more packages you add. I had a blast with the free Starz weekend a couple of weeks ago. Ended up recording about 20 movies.

Also keep in mind, I think the Directv dish has to be pointed to the south. That might be an issue if you are in a living space where theres no unobstructed path that direction.Comment

Both systems have exactly what you want...........so for you they would be indistinguishable............both are also loaded with movie channels and all the hbo, showtime, starz, etc etc as well as lots of PPV, but the PPV's are basically the same.Comment

[QUOTE=FunForOne]I like direct tv because you can put the show you are watching in a little window and watch and hear it while you surf the guide to see what else is on.

I liked that too with my old reciever but it doesnt have it on the DVR Box....Damn them!

hey man, I currently have both of them for a few more months. I just got DTV HD and love it. HD is great, I know that discovery HD is a channel that you can get. Right now they are running a special where you can get FREE HD Package for 3 months, FREE ENCORE/HBO for 3 months. Along with all your other stuff. Music channels are a lot better on Dish Network just because they have Sirius radio. Also, if you are into sports, and especially NFL. You will want DTV and Sunday Ticket. Anything else, just ask

Here's another vote for DirecTv. I've never had Dish so I can't compare the two, but I've had DirectTv for about 6 months now and I love it. I opted for the Total Choice Plus with local... I have it on 3 TV sets one with the dual tuner Tivo. That is great because you can record two shows on at the same time. Don't know if Dish has that option... As far as outtages, I've only ever lost the picture in SEVERE weather like thunderstorms and it is generally out for less than an hour even then. Be warned... DirecTv is raising all their prices about $3 a month in a few weeks... so I don't know if you can "lock in" at the lower rate now or not...Goldie

DirecTV user here. Switched from cable and like the service better. Never had a problem with reception in weather. Basic package is about $60 per month. I do not do the movie channels. I would rather just do a pay-per-view when I feel like watching.Comment

I say directTV their support is great and they have great deals on getting you join them. When i joined i got 4 receivers all the channels for 3 months and the only catch was i had to pay the $80/month for nfl sunday ticket. Now i get every channel and it's only $100/month. I highly recommend them even though i've never had dish network i have absolutly no reason to leave directTV.Comment
