Get Directv not the Dish network.
Both are pretty good. But Directv is the exclusive provider of the NFL Sunday ticket. the only downside is a 2 year service agreement if you get the HD-DVR Receiver( YOU HAVE TO GET IT!).
They are coming out with a boat load of new HD channels in September.

Dish has 1-year agreements. :)

If you don't want to pay for the NFL Ticket, I'd go with Dish. Better service from what I've heard and noticed myself and for my preferences, they had a better channel selection and were a couple of bucks cheaper.

I really think it comes down to what is best in your area. When I lived in Fairfax Directv was awesome no problems with signal or anything. then I moved to Maryland signal was out all the time and the local Directv workers were really bad.

Yeah, that is true. I've worked with a wireless network at my job and there are some locations where it's the best service available and other places where mountains or neighbor's trees that they refuse to cut make the service horrible.

Also I would like to add if you are raising a family and are mairred, if you can justify spending $350 on NFL Tictet to your wife and kids instead of buying food and school clothes, GOD BLESS YOU!

The ticket isn't cheap and of course you need to have your priorities. Still, it's something I enjoy and something worth saving up for.

I’ve been a DirecTV subscriber since 1998 here in the ATL after leaving the D.C. area and there are no substitutes. If you thrive on watching the NFL (and especially if you are a ‘Skins fan living outside of D.C.), then DirecTV has you by the short ones. However, even with the high cost (and yes, I have a family) it has been a great experience. Fortunately, my wife and kids are big football fans so the family doesn’t mind eating Ramon noodles every fall. In addition, I recently convinced DirecTV to upgrade my service with the Plus HD DVR…for free! I’m not affiliated w/ them in any way, but I’ve been a happy camper for almost 10-years.

Cool, now I don't feel like a terrible father/husband. Welcome to the board!

I would dish out the money if I lived in ATL so I could see the Skins but, it is hard to pay that money when you get it for free on local channels here. In reality if you are out the DC market it is cheaper to get NFL Ticket every year then going to the bar every Sunday to watch it.

Precisely mredskins. If we were still in the D.C. area, it would be a tough call to pony up the samolians req’d for the NFL Ticket. Yet, given that so many people in D.C. are not natives, and thus fans of other NFL teams, it remains the only venue to watch your favorite team if they reside elsewhere. Plus, that whole family thing I mentioned in my previous post? Well, that would be an even tougher call if I spent my time and money at the local watering hole!

Regardless of where I lived I would still have the ticket. I like to be able to flip around and watch any game.
