Speaking from experience, you'll be a lot happier with DirecTV than with Dish Network. I was praying rosaries that the FCC wouldn't allow Dish Network to purchase DirecTV the way they intended.

Customer service at Dish Network is atrocious. When I had Dish Network, there was an argument every month, and I'm not exaggerating. DirecTV isn't especially soccer-sensitive, but they're friendly and they'll work with you.

it was great, but, i would be much more happier if they throw more games with US players in it : Hotspur, Blackburn, Birmingham or PNE, Huddersfield, and maybe a bit of bundesliga games: Hannover, Nurmberg or St.Pauli.

I still have FSW on Comcast Digital in Nashville. Y'all are making me nervous.

Gotta say that I've never had any problems with DISH's customer service. In fact, I got 3 months of Showtime free without even asking when some tech glitch messed up my system for a couple of days late last year. DISH straightened out the original problem, then, a few days later, I had a message on my answering machine apologizing for the inconvenience and telling me about the free Showtime as compensation.

All I could think was how this was a world away from what it was like dealing with Time-Warner.

Nor have I. They've been great to deal with. Even were able to troubleshoot a box problem over the phone.

But, whether Dish or Direct/TV, it's much better than what those cable whores offer.

So much cleaner, so to speak...

From my brief experience this is true. A dish isn't for everyone, but compared to my experience with Comcast, DIRECTV is heaven. When I set the dish up two weeks ago I asked if the NHL Center Ice PPV package was still full price knowing that they usually run a mid-season promotion with a discount. I also knew that digital cable was running a free preview and discount starting yesterday (Jan 6), so I asked if they had any promotions coming up. I figured if waiting would save some bucks, then I'd wait until it was cheaper, especially considering that we already paid full price for it on cable. They said no, so I added it at full price because the wife had me under orders to keep her supplied with hockey.

Well last night I saw that they were in fact running a promotion that amounted to a $60 savings, so I called to ask what they could do. It only took me three minutes to get some compensation and I didn't even need to speak with a supervisior or raise my voice! Similar problems with cable took hours and several call to resolve.

And Comcast is the owner of the Philly WUSA team.

Alright, lemme get this straight: Comcast owns the Philly WUSA Team, and Cox, Inc. owns the Atlanta Beat...why were we unable to get solid I/O's like this involved in MLS??
