Here are 17 Good Reasons why DISH Network is your very Best Bet

Read, watch or listen to the advertising for DISH Network and for Direct TV and it’s difficult to separate one from the other. If you believe the claims, both services are outstanding. The truth, however, is far different from the hype.

The fact is that the products and services offered by DISH Network are far superior to the products and services offered by Direct TV. Want proof? Here are seventeen excellent reasons that prove the point:

1. ESE Marketing (your DISH Network supplier) has received the Better Business Bureau’s highest rating: A+. The Direct TV BBB rating is a bit lower. it is "F". That is the lowest possible rating a company can receive from the Better Business Bureau. The question you need to ask yourself is this: do I want to do business with a company that is rated "F" or with a company like ESE Marketing that has received an A+ Rating. The answer - and your choice - should be simple.


2. One company provides jobs to U.S. citizens, the other ships jobs overseas. Care to guess which firm helps its fellow citizens? It is ESE Marketing, of course. Direct TV outsources jobs to workers in other countries (just to save a little money) and is on the Lou Dobbs List of organizations that operate against the best interests of American workers.


3. BIG PLUS! DISH Network offers everyday low prices - no rebate hassels! The price quoted is the price you pay for DISH Network programming. Direct TV, on the other hand, often requires that you apply - and wait - for a rebate in order to receive their advertised prices. Their bet is that you'll give-up or forget about the rebate, and they pocket your money. DISH Network gives you the benefit of its low prices immediately. No rebates to file - no waiting - NO BOTHER!


4. DISH Network offers SIX great english language channel packages to choose from. One is sure to be perfect for you. Direct TV offers a variety of packages too, but only four.


5. You enjoy the benefit of FREE DISH Platinum HD programming. It’s just another "extra" for our customers. Of course, Direct TV has no Free HD programming.


6. DISH Network stands firmly behind their products. You receive a Lifetime Warranty on DISH NETWORK receivers. The Direct TV Warranty lasts one year - and only one year.


7. DISH Network’s Customer Approval Rating with U.S. Customers is high.. we’re NUMBER ONE. Direct TV’s rating is lower. They’re number two.


8. Can you guess which service offers more programming? DISH Network provides you with access to 350 channels. Direct TV gives you only 265. That’s 85 fewer channels offered by the higher priced DIRECT TV.


9. With DISH NETWORK you get 75 Pay-Per-View movies, sports and other entertainment options each month. You get only 60 Pay-Per-View options with Direct TV.


10. When you talk sports, think SAVINGS. DISH Network’s NFL Red Zone Package costs you just $5.99 per month. And you can see the action live and in real time. Direct TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket is somewhat more costly. It will set you back $299.95.


11. If you like to speed-surf through your channels, you’ll love DISH Network. It enables you to navigate through all of your programming up to three times faster than Direct TV.


12. Special Added Bonus! You can use your DISH Network dual-tuner receiver to enjoy programming in two rooms simultaneously. Direct TV offers access to a single tuner only. And DIRECTV charges you an additional $5.00 each month for each additional receiver (after the first one). With DISH NETWORK dual-tuner receivers, you are NOT charged an additional fee for the second TV it supports.


13. DISH Network’s Video-on-Demand is user-friendly. Simply turn to channel 501 and use your remote to order the programming you want. Direct TV makes it much more difficult. You need to order additional equipment from DIRECTV to access their video-on-demand service, and you have to install it yourself.


14. DISH Network has more International Programming. We offer programming in 19 different languages. Direct TV - you guessed it - offers programming in only 10 different languages.


15. DISH Network is NUMBER ONE for Chinese programming. We have 17 Chinese-language channels; Direct TV has fewer, of course... only ten.


16. You can record and store more programming with a DISH Network DVR. In fact, you can record up to 350 hours of standard defintion programming or up to 50 hours of HD programming. Direct TV’s HD-DVR lets you record only 200 hours of standard definition programming or up to 50 hours of HD programming.


17. DISH Network gives you the option to record 500 hours of HD content. All you need do is order an affordable external hard drive. The option is not available with Direct TV. And that’s no surprise.
