Comparison: Dish Network VS Directv

DISH Network has the best programming, technology and service, all for less.

DIRECTV Sub Growth Dropping Like a Rock and was predicted because of its increasingly poor customer service and its apparent unwillingness to expand its high-def lineup.

The Washington State Attorney General had more complaints about DIRECTV than any other company in America this year and has said "that DIRECTV has built deception into their business model and that DIRECTV has left few deceptive tactics unused."

DIRECTV: Still Lying About HDTV. An independent review finds that DIRECTV's HD channel count is far from the truth.

DISH Network has more HD than DIRECTV: DISH Network leads the satellite industry with the most HD channels nationwide.

DIRECTV is not Accredited with the Better Business Bureau!

The BBB gave DIRECTV an "F" rating, which means that the BBB "strongly question the company's reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company's industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

More than 36,000 BBB Complaints were filed against DIRECTV in the past-36 months.

TrustLink (the consumer review BBB program) gave DIRECTV a 1-star rating out of 5 stars. The facts are clear, DIRECTV's customer service doesn't cut it.
