Both Dish Network and DirecTV have a 24 hour customer service line. As Dish Network concerns a lot about their customer relationships and they monitor their dealers pretty well in term of customer satisfaction. For around $40 per month, Dish Network offers a satellite package of 100 top channels with the local channels. Direct TV also sports fewer blackout dates in many of the big cities like Philadelphia, making their packages well worth the extra money. Many people are framing this as a Dish Network vs Direct TV war, and wondering who will come out on top in the satellite television industry.
