I am not happy with Verizon FIOS HD because poor quality CC (Not all lousy - some programs show smaller texts or fad texts and no offer size text/color text). I plan to switch DirecTV or Network Dish TV.

I prefer full time to use Antenna (free over the air) but my wife complain about weak signal by PBS, CW, and CBS. She is tired of adjust antenna to find better signal.

Anyone have good/bad experience from direct broadcast satellite (Network Dish HD or DirecTV HD)??? How is good Closed Caption? How is good picture from broadcast satellite by any weather? How much pay for DirecTV HD vs Network Dish HD?

I need your feedback on Network Dish HD and DirecTV HD. We do not need any feedback on non-HD user.

Thanks

DIRECTV vs. DISH Network - Review and Compare

We use Directv HD for two years and we love it! We use DVR with HDMI and no problem with CC. There is font style and color font. We gave up OTA in almost two years ago due few channels and bad signal.
 
I use Direct HDTV and I am quite happy with it.

I use the Direct HDTV built in CC box and it a good quailty Picture and CC

Direct TV built in CC will carry over on video via HDMI cable to your HDTV TV

I don't use my TV CC anymore cuz I like the fonts and color I choose in my Direct TV CC option menu.

My mom have FIOS TV with HD. It have captions on. She don't have problem with it.

I got my new Directv with HD receiver last few weeks ago. I love it! The Dish have few HD. Directv is more than Dish.
 
I seen DirectTV yesterday at bar club, it's on HD version however, during the heavy rain that night, the display appear isn't great compare to my u-verse which use same as FIOS tech. It running great.
 
I'm a direct tv user myself, me & my wife is happy with it.

On occasions when bad weather comes along, we lose the signal, but doesn't happen very often.

Beats having a few channels.

Been DTV subscriber for 8 years and still loving it. Done with Greedy time warner!

Believe it or not, when I call them over RoadRunner issue, and had it resolved then reps asked me why no cable TV. I said Im damn happy with DirecTV. She said well, there is something they offer which DirecTV don't offer, I immediately response "Thats right! Your right! Time warner has annual price increases while DirecTV don't have!" She GULPED big time and said Ahem, DTV just increased by 5 dollars recently. My response was, Yea? First time in 5 years and I appreciated DTV not jack up prices every year like Time warner does. She then said have a nice day, hanged up. End of discussion right on spot!

At this time, I dont have HDTV, and in future yes, stick with DirecTV.
 
How come... nobody use Network Dish HD.

I like Network Dish offer free up to 3 HD for lowest price. I did not make order without I know about CC.

I know one hearing person had Network Dish. He never use CC. He did switch to DirecTV because better picture in any weather condition. He lives near to shore which higher number tropical storm.

Not important to look for favorite program. Most important to have good caption.

I am not pleasure with FIOS HD box. I want to watch my favorite but no pleasure with VERY LOUSY CC.
FIOS won't offer size font, any color font and style font.

I look for someone has/had experience from DISH NETWORK.
I got enough enough from DIRECTV -

i understand you makes on your own decision

i dont like without CC i cant complain ARGH!! im wishes i would get HDTV somedays without CC or would be sorry!!
 
I will not pay TV service for lousy CC.

We were stuck on our FIOS HD for two years with lousy CC.
Use antenna - Free TV by over the air - nice CC but poor picture from weak signal.

Long time ago, I visited almost all list like your posted. I gave up.

We did try many different Antenna. Only one is better but not 100 percent helpful. Too much work on adjust on channel. Night time gave me little better than day time but tired of work on adjust with Antenna.

Last weekend, I called Dish Network, DirecTV, Comcast and FIOS. To see compare price include HD Boxes and HD DVR. Still can't find good price.

This morning, I called FIOS Customer Service. We made good deal for package. I stay with FIOS HD. Price is better than DirecTV and Dish Network.
