Compared to Dish, GREAT CHOICE, STAY AWAY FROM DISH. love direct TV channel selection and information guides! Been a customer for 15 yes 15 years and just talk to me away from them and now I got screwed I hate dish they sell outdated equipment and then when you realize it's not compatible with Netflix they'll gladly upgrade you even though I've only had their service for 3 months worst decision I've ever made if I could go back to DirecTV I would right now
