[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2571821, member: 29706"] Both probably about as much of a PITA as Cox. I honestly prefer the guides of directv over dish. If you want HD service you have to have one of the larger size dish's for either one and the equipment otherwise is basically the same. Best bet is to call and see which one will sweeten the deal the most or if your cell carrier partners with one or the other to get a discount. The other option is to drop the contour boxes and go back to regular receivers. The contour boxes were released way to early as the software was not quite up to par. In a year or so they may get things working better but who knows. [url]http://www.dslreports.com/forum/coxhsi[/url] is a good place to get info on the cable side as well as the internet part. You could also get a TiVo and a card/TA and drop their boxes completely if you don't use the on demand or go for something like [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815345006[/url] [/QUOTE]
