    Arrow Directv VS Dish

    Short story short:
    Moving into an apartment, Cable selection is only Time Warner, or a dish company.
    I hate TimeWarner, no NFL network channel, and their HD is not as good as Fios, but Fios isn't available to me.

    So its either Directv or Dish..
    Which is better for basic programming and sports? Let me know yall's experiences with them to help my decesion

    Thanks!

    Direct TV. $5 a month and if your stuff breaks, they fix it for free. Dish you pay to have it fixed.

    You've also got NFL Sunday Ticket, noone else has that.

    Then, there's the fact that Dish has crap for HD channels...

    Dish doesn't have on demand. You have to pre record EVERYTHING. It gets annoying.
