I am getting satelite in the next few days. Mostly because of FoxSports en Espanol coverage.

Between DISH and DIRECTV, which one you guys think is better for soccer coverage and DCU coverage?

i don't know the dish, but i have directv and love it. i get lots of football on fsw and some of the other fox networks. you can get also get a subscription EPL package for $200 that gives all the matches live (there is usually one live on fsw and the rest taped) and of course galavision and others have mfl.

i have no problems with my sattelite, great service and it is cheaper than comcast was.

Do you get all DC games that way? Is there a way (other than going in person)?

I see the MLS Shootout Package for $49 but I dont think it has all games...

How long till this gets moved? But anyways

I have dish and love it. FSW, Gol TV (24 soccer channel) EPL on PPV. It is cheaper than cable and has much better service. Make sure you check out whatever version of tivo or PVR is offered (once you have it you can not live without it).

In terms of mls coverage is depends on the year. I think last year direct tv had better coverage and this year dish does (every televised mls game)

My understanding is that only Dish has GOL TV. It's pretty nice to have a 24 hour soccer channel, even if many of the games lower-tier leagues in South and Central America.

the package has most games, some are only on hdnet and i don't think you can get that. you'll get almost all with shootout and directv

OK. I was gonna move it to the B&M board before I saw your post. I'd check that board though for similar threads.

I've got experience with DirecTV. No compaints other than a couple scheduling blunders.
