I ended up going with Dish network after Directv failed to show up for the installation appointment. My install was scheduled from 12-5pm. So I am at home waiting about 4pm I wonder is this really going to happen? I call Directv ask them to confirm. I get a call from the tech about 4:30 he says he is finishing up other job and he expects to be at my place soon. So I continued to wait at home. 6PM I call him back and he says he definitely will some tonight just haveing problems at other install job. 9:30 PM he calls me back says he will not make it tonight and I have to call Directv to reschedule the install. I called them next day and promptly cancel my order.
Dish install was a breeze. Automated system texts you the night before, again the day of the install, and tech called me 30 min before he arrived as I requested when I scheduled so I was able to stay at work and come home when he was ready to meet me. So glad I did go with dish I love the Hopper DVR. I was able to watch World Cup on ESPN streaming while sitting by the pool on vacation in Cancun Mexico (when the WiFi there was fast enough). I ordered a Winegard pathway X1 + Vip 211z receiver on Amazon. Called dish and there was no problem adding the second receiver on my dish plan, $7/mo., no questions asked they did not care where I was using it. Works great I put it on my Toyhauler roof and I have satellite signal locked in 5-10 min.
