We have had DirecTV for at least 10 years, and have had nothing but outstanding service, and have found competent helpful folks on the trouble desk. Sorry you had a bad session. I am told, no personal experience, that the primary technical difference with Dish vice DirecTV, is that it is not as simple as DirecTV to set up, when Rving, because you have to lock in multiple sats vice a single sat with DirecTV. When we go to Florida for the winter, we simply call the 1-800 number and they reset the local channels for us from NC to Florida, and we do the reverse when we get back to NC from Florida. When we had a bad receiver this winter, they shipped us a new one, with a return box prepaid for the broken one, no questions asked. Within 72 hours of our call, the new one was up and running.
