What are pros and cons between directv and dish network?

In my experience they were basically the same.  They each have local channels, High def channels and all the other amenities.  \n\nI'd think it would just come down to how much each charges for the same sort of package, extra equipment and how good they are at service.

Ok, your sentence fragment leaves us wondering what you want.\nI assume you are looking to get either dish or Direct TV?\nBoth have similar programming.  If you want HD you will need to ask each company what their plans are for adding programming to that effect.

cable is not that bad if you have basic programing and then the internet service. Its direct tv thats expensive because you have to have a seperate dish for your internet and another one for your tv..thats a lot of equipment. trust me i used to work for them.

If Dish can't or won't move you, then drop Dish and go with either DirecTV or your local cable outlet. I'm sure somebody can get Brewers games.

Yes.\nHere are some options:\n\nCABLE  \nRequires professional installation of coaxial cable, cable boxes, splitters etc. \n\nPros - Fast download speeds, most cases wiring is already in place, less costly package deals available if purchased w/ phone and tv programming.\n\nCons - Slightly more expensive than DSL\n*Contact your local cable provider.\n\nSATELLITE\nRequires professional installation of a small dish w/ ability to send and receive signals. \n\nPros - Makes internet accessible to remote or rural areas where DSL or Cable access is not available.\n\nCons - Most costly of all options. Download speeds limited. Telephone line needed for initial setup in most cases.\n*Contact Dish Network, DirectTV or your local provider\n\nWIRELESS\nMany municipalities across the country provide or have plans to provide, free wireless access. Your town may fall into this category. Check with your city hall.\n\nHOTSPOTS\nFree - local restaurants, snack shops, bookstores and coffee houses. \n*While using a vendor's free "hotspot," be sure to make a purchase...it will keep you in their good graces and insure that you'll be welcome on your next visit. \n\nCommercial - Requires a subscriber fee or paid account. Some  offer "Pay As You Go" options similar to cellphone offerings.\n\nShared - Neighbor (within 150 ft.) with internet and  wireless router or AP. Offer to pay a small fee to share neighbor's broadband via his/her AP. Just make certain that you both "turn off disk sharing" services and that the arrangement does not violate any provider defined "terms of service."

The Answer is Yes. There are several products available for Cable/Analog communication with your computer. With DSS however you would need to use your DishNetwork Converter box between your Dish and your computer, then tune your TV-tuner card to the channel 3 (in some cases 4) to recieve the signal. Then use your DishNetwork remote to control what channel you are watching. The question is how much are you willing to spend to basically circumvent the use of a television monitor which can be at times less expensive than a TV-Tuner card for your computer. The link below is to one manufacturer, there are several around.

It's on the top 180.  But if you don't hit the right Satellite (if your dish is out of date) you can't get it.\n\nPress (on the remote) Menu, #6, #1, #1.  Run "Check Switch".  If that comes out good then try the guide channel showing "all channels" (press Guide until it shows all).  Channel 187 should be there.  If not, call DishNetwork for the upgrade or service.

It all depends on what "one" is trying to pickup as far as satellite communication goes.  \nFor directv and dishnetwork the 101, 110, 119 degree satellites are transmitted on the ku band with a circular polarization at high power that is why they can be picked up with smaller dishes.  \n\nSome linear Ku band satellites can be picked up with about a 30''to 36'' dish depending on where you live and what you would like to pick up.\n\nMost cband needs at least 6ft. dish preferably 10ft. dish to pick up. If you have a cband dish depending on the size of the mesh you can use it to pick up linear ku band.\n\nWithin the last two months I helped install 2 14 ft. solid aluminum dishes that were used to pick up horse races and they do not want any downtime so the bigger the better.\n\nSo I would say yes one could come across a situation where they need a dish bigger than 1 meter.

To boost the signal of your wireless router I would recommend buying a suitable enhanced antenna from your local computer store. They are designed to work with your router. There are also signal boosting devices that can be used throughout your home/office to help increase your signal coverage and wipe out dead spots.\n\nAs for the Sat dish; if you want to be Dr. Frankenstein and experiment you can go to your local Radio Shack and get the proper adapters to convert the connection from one to the other. Not sure if they will have the proper adapter for the router though. You may have to improvise. Will you succeed? I am very doubtful. Sat dishes are used to RECEIVE SIGNALS, not TRANSMIT! You may get better luck just using the coax cable used with the dish. But then again, stranger things have happened...

If you get Dish Network you can get the dual tuner DVR's.  You are only charged one DVR fee of $5 and you do not have to pay the additional outlet fee if you keep it connected to a phone line.  If you get the bigger package (AEP) then the $5 DVR fee is waived.  A 522/625 receiver will give you DVR functionality in two rooms with one receiver.
