Dish network — 

We recently switched from DirectTV to Dish Network because of Pricing.  Overall The two are similar in packages, but Dish Network pricing is more in line with the common man.  The picture is clear and of a decent quality.  We do not have HD.  The variety of channels is decent, but I have little use for Sirrius Radio and find those channels to be more of a nusiance.  Our plan gave us Cinemax for 1 Cent for a year, but thus far the movies on it are pretty poorly rated by viewers.  So skip getting Cinemax if you have to pay more.

Some of the cons to Dish Network is the guide.  It is pretty bland to look at and the remote is overly complicated.  The book is also a bit of a nightmare in trying to find out how to resolve an issue.  For example  the receiver changed to single mode and it took 15 minutes to find that the fix was to push a button on the receiver to change back to dual mode.   Once things are set up, it becomes second nature.  

Overall I think Dish Network will be a great replacement for our Direct TV.
