Both have their plusses and minuses. Had both with in the last 24 months. Still have D* on the Tour Van. Dish has better hardware right now, but D*'s DVR box is okay. D* only locks in prices usually for the 1st 12 months, so pay attention to what your rate will be after that.
Both suck during bad weather despite what they say. Less compression than cable though in most cases which is rather nice. You can still get the Red Zone Channel with Dish which is nice too.

I want to get something on my right arm filled in and then I want to discuss starting a half sleeve on the right arm. I am meeting with a guy that is renowned for Black/grey work but he specializes in Asian/Polynesian style, which is what I like. I want to give him free reign to do whatever he wants. I only have certain things that are not allowed, other than that, I don't really care.

Thanks JB. Yeah, if Dish would have budged on a break and getting me the Hopper I wouldn't even be thinking this. With DirecTV I can get their new 5 program HD DVR and save about 30.00 the first year and 5.00 the next. Not bad.
I'd rather have cable honestly, but, our local phone company (local as in, IN town) have a monopoly on the cable AND the internet....and their HD channels are pathetic. Whole home DVR, but only HD in one room.

Life's too short.
I'm sure he'd have a blast but that's probably not going to happen.
Ive had both and right now have DirecTV. Hardware with DirecTV this time around is awesome. I dont know about Dish and the new stuff they have but my time with them was awful. Service sucked. Programming was no where near as good as DirecTV and when you leave them they will harass you for years. I'll never use Dish for that and the fact I hate those dumb Hopper commercials.

I will never understand the idea that I have to pay these satellite companies up front money for the "right" to rent their equipment. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I whine about Direct a lot but they blow Dish out of the water in every realm to me. Dish is sneaky and after they get their claws into you you're done. neither will reward loyalty but I've found with Direct a little b!tching gets things done.
Find someone who has direct and get the $10 credit and if you're a AAA member you'll get another $10 off. I just set my mom up and she's paying $5 and change a month the first year lol.

Hate that commercial. What ad company thought that was the best they could come up with?

Nice dude. Get something just mean looking, all the way up your neck and onto your face too.
I got a pretty dumb tat when I was 19 that I'd like to not necessarily cover, but add to so that it's not the only thing there. I thought it was pretty bad ass when I got it. I don't want to cover it because it was fitting to who I was at 19. I think a big half sleeve from my elbow to shoulder on my right arm would be pretty awesome. Sort of make what I already have a part of a new design. I've been meaning to go talk to someone but just never have.
