Anyone have Dish TV or had it in the past? Looking for good or bad experiences?
Long story, short: I'm ditching DirecTV after being with them for over 9 years.

Their equipment is poor quality, I got tired of exchanging it. The program guide takes forever to load, customer service is mediocre. We're dumping them soon. Way too expensive, and you have to buy expensive packages to get one desired station. I don't recommend Dish.
(even talked to an American when I had to call)
OK . . . for those folks using the Internet, Netflix, Amazon, etc. . . . tell me a bit more about this.
How much are you paying roughly each month?
Can you get everything you were getting on satellite -- i.e. I tend to like shows like The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Vikings . . . while my wife likes a whole bunch of shows on DIY, HGTV, OWN and Investigation Discovery.
I thought Dish and Direct were owned by the same company? I had Directv for years and only left for the advantages (cost) of going bundle with cable. First day the cable was hooked up, I thought the TV was messed up. Definition was no where near the clarity. After numerous power outages, long term, I would really like to go back. DTV and a generator and life is somewhat normal. Comments from users and advertisements by competitors (cable) about digitized screens during storms was never an issue for me. Not that it didn't happen, becuase is did, but I always appreciated knowing that the pile was headed at the fan before it actually hit. Gave time to get the windows closed and collect the stuff off the patio.
Youtube "first honest cable company" the video just about sums it up for Time Warner...So now I'm also looking at Time Warner Cable as an option . . . mainly since there is no contract.
Anyone have opinions on Time Warner Cable?
Twc's price was why we switched to dish about a year ago. We have the hopper. Real nice to be able to start a show on one room and continue right Where you left off in another room. Saving a BOATLOAD over twc. And lots more features. No brainer for me.Have had TW for about 20 years. Have Digital "Standard" service with DVR, home security, and internet. All have worked fine. When there was a long term power outage in the county they set up a generator at their distribution box a half a block away and provided service for the neighborhood. Their support has been fine. Although you do pay for it. Renting 3-4 movies a month brings our bill to about $175 a month.
