direct tv or Dish

I've had em both, now neither. But to answer your question, if I had to pick one, I would say dish. They suck a little less than Direct TV. I would give up TV before I would go back to direct TV. Think about it. Why do they require you to enter a contract to do business with them? Because they know they suck, and you would switch to another provider if you could. But you're gonna be stuck for two years. Have you considered VHF? You may not be aware, but the signal is much superior to what it used to be. It is even available in HD. Combine that with netflix, and you can have all the tv you need for $8 a month.

In summary, they both suck. But Direct tv sucks a lot more.
