have had all - cable, direct, dish - since moving am currently with DISH, used to go out all the time because we had major trees but the new location has a perfectly clear shot of the sky and so far so good fingers crossed..

WHAT BOILS DOWN TO IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS BIG TIME ANY OF THE THREE, think Time Warner cable was the worst because made the mistake of ordering a package off the net instead of with a "live" local operator - when went to change a few things on it was told they can't assist, you have to talk to their "net" department in India and you're transferred into oblivion...

anyway what have learned the past few years is go with what's cheapest between Direct and Dish, sign up for a special promo package on Dish and when it's about to expire call them up and try to cancel service and they'll extend, then just keep doing it - am on my third round of free HBO/Showtime etc. just call and say you want to cancel... they're all idiots, really...

I've had Dishnet for years. I really don't know what I would do without having both TVG and HRTV to enjoy year-round. While the system is not as user friendly as Direct TV for the price and programming options I have been quite satisfied. The nearest Simulcasting venue is an hour and a half away in Oklahoma so we watch both HRTV and TVG just about every day.

Although I don't have the pp's, I think what you were really asking was if people prefer HRTV over TVG or vice-versa. IMO HRTV keeps getting better while TVG has started to slide downward pretty quickly after the bet-fair purchase. If you aren't listening to the announcers I would go HRTV except for so-cal, then you need TVG.
