I have had both and nothing is worse than the problems I have had with DIRECT TV.
In the beginning of my Satellite Adventures, I had one of those 8 foot receivers and could pick up everything for free. The cost for installation and receiver was $3,000.00. So, it really was not free. Never the less, all the programming was free. You see, I used to work in live television back in the 1950's and so I knew what I had.
Unlike Microsoft and DIRECT TV, when you bought the gadget, appliance, washing machine, phonograph, radio, house or car, it belonged to you and you were the boss over what you could do with it.
It is not that I am cheap, not at $3,000.00 just to watch a stupid game show or soap opera.
Somewhere, some how, someone decided that they could make me pay for what I was getting free and guess what? It worked.
In the last ten years, I have paid out more in money, anguish and pain than I every did with prostate cancer.
I have met more shady characters while dealing with satellite programming than you could ever meet on Bay Street at 11 pm in Jacksonville, in all of the 1950’s'
I would never wish either on my worst enemy, but given a choice, I had rather fight another 3 year round with prostate cancer than ever have to deal for one hour with DIRECT TV.
BTW: Guess who first started charging for their satellite programming? The Peacock Network (NBC) that’s who! Remember when NBC was free and the programs were fantastic?
