Dish Vs. DirecTV
I now have an HDTV in the 5vr and want to receive HD via. DirecTV. According to them, in order to get a 2nd HD receiver, it will cost me $100 plus signing up for another 2 year commitment.
Dish provides the HD receivers at $0 purchase cost. Other factors seem to be:
1) DirecTV sends HD out on 3 Ka band satellites and 1 Ku band satellite. As such the setup and alignment may be somewhat difficult. Dish uses only 3 Ka band satellites, thus may be easier to set up.
2) The DirecTV Slimline antenna is fairly large. The Dish 1000.2 antenna is noticably smaller.
It seems that Dish is less expensive, will be easier to set up, and the dish antenna is smaller and easier to handle and store.
I'm looking for some input from those who are familiar with the above. Where are the errors in my logic? Does this make any sense?
