The Battle Between Cox, Dish Network and DirecTV

Now I've had both (DirecTV and Cox Communications) as far as what both companies show on their programming to me it's very similar between the two but when it comes to PPV I must admit that DirecTV has the most selection hands down along with more channels to view just because it's satellite TV. Now on the other hand Cox is better by far with continuos programming without errors such as blackouts because of the ground wiring system that they have set-up.

So if you are trying to weigh the options of DirecTV, Cox, or Dish Network there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. DirecTV and Dish Network has alot more HD channels but additional cost plus hey the PPV is 100% better to me. Cox well... what can I say they have the monopoly on the fastest internet service available and way less blackouts and both can provide a bundle package. Also the rumor is that their HD channels are at no additional cost.

EchoStar Communications/Dish Network must stop selling out-of-market station feeds of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox programming to 800,000 subscribers, according to a nationwide injunction issued by U.S. District Judge William P. Dimitrouleas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Because of this matter I would not recommend Dish Network at all.

Now there is the option of other companies but at this point and time I wouldn't recommend them.

So if pricing is the issue that do some research to see what best fits your pocketbook. If it's the quality of programming that you are looking for and you are not worried about the price of the bundle packaging then once again you have to see what best suits you.
