Direct tv/dish tv

[lesliepear]

We are looking into dumping our crummy time warner non digital cable television - and replacing it with satelite tv (assuming we can get reception in our condo, I'm not sure we can have a dish facing the right way on our side). I've looked at dish and direct tv, direct tv seems to be the better deal - I'd like to know people's experiences.

I have only had time warner digital (not right now though) but my aunt had TW and the dish/dircet tv. She hated the dish but had no choice in having it because at the time TW wasn't available in her area. Every time it rained or the wind blew or it was cloudy her reception either went out completely or it was just bad. My mother has direct tv and doesn't like it either but again she only has it because TW isn't available. they have the same trouble with it going out when there is bad weather and the customer service has been bad also. Most of the people I know who had either dish or direct had nothing good to say about it.
