Dish Network service versus DIRECT TV by: Anonymous
I too had Dish Network, the service was terrible I canceled them on a Saturday. I Called Direct TV the same day and guess what, they came out on the next day SUNDAY and I had service that day.
I've been with Direct TV going on Five years now. Apparently they value me as a customer, they are now giving me a year of FREE !!!!! Showtime.
I know this is no great deal because of the repeat movies and other programming. But it is a step by Direct TV to show me that they value long time customers :)
