Okay.
I have tried to read thought many of the posts on this forum and I have searched the web in vain. So, please be gentle.
I have purchased a home and will be closing in the next week or so. I have decided to ditch cable and try something different.
I am completely green about the differences between Dish and Direct to the point that I can hardly make out what's what.
Can someone direct me to the primary differences between the services? Also, and I know this is a loaded question, what is better and why?
I am just looking to replace my cable and maybe pickup some additional programming as well. I need my local channels as well. It would appear that both services are offered in my area.
I need to supply signal to 2 rooms and I want to have a DVR as well. I do not need HD yet as I do not have any compatible displays. However, I may add one in the next 6 months or so. I don't need any kiddie programs as I'm a single guy with no little ones.
Is there any equipment/ services that would better than the other for my needs?
Thanks in advance. I know that getting asked over and over what's better probably gets old. But, I did not see any subjective posts one way or the other. I think it would be interesting to hear from those that converted from one service to the other and why as well.
Feel free to send me a message if you would prefer not to post it here.
Thanks again. Sorry for all the questions!
