I've had both, and even had Brighthouse (cable). We left Brighthouse behind because we moved to a spot with NO cable. Tried Direct-TV first. After the first year, prices went up and up and up. We fought with them to keep prices down. We had opportunity to switch to Dish-TV. We did. Same thing. After the first initial year, up and up and up it went. We just got sick and tired of having to battle (both) companies, and canceled everything! We've been much happier ever since. It sounds like a good deal, but when the initial low-cost time period is over ... look out!
