I've had both, Dish Network and Directv and liked them both. I liked Directv a little more because of some of the features it had and it had a few more channels. Be careful if you decide to cancel with Dish Network and switch to Directv because Dish Network might try to charge you an early cancellation fee if you signed up for a promotional program. If you are cancelling during your grace period, make sure you save everything including the transformer on the dish because these things will have to get sent back or you will get charged.
