DirectTv or Dish Network ?
Ok, I'm in a completely uncharted territory here. It appears that one must purchase up front all the needed hardware for RV use & pay only for programming. Correct? Also, Why would a person choose ...

Dish offers part time service and DirecTV does not. Dish HD programming can be received if you are using a dome style antenna (roof or portable) and DirecTV cannot. Dish used to offer free HD with a 2 year contract and DirecTV costs $10/month.
DirecTV's satellites are closer together and if you don't care about HD only requires you locate 1 single satellite while Dish still requires 3. DirecTV has better coverage coast to coast and into Canada. DirecTV has the DNS Networks available and Dish does not.
It's really a coin toss but sometimes your hardware and requirements will make the choice for you.
X1 and phone technical support for Dish has been great. If the problem can't be solved over the phone, I normally have a tech support technician at my site the next day. I would not have Dish or Direct services without Roko-netflick. The quality, quanity of movie selections is outstanding compared to either Dish or Direct.
