I am trying very hard to make a decision quickly as to which satellite TV provider I am going to go with. I am so tired of the high cost of cable TV and I have tried not having any additional channels, just the basic locals. Now, however, I am ready for some real choices when it comes to music and television shows. Does deciding between Dish Network vs Direct TV have to be such a challenge? Does it really matter which one I choose? How often will I really need service with my satellite dish? Should I just go with the cheapest one and forget about it?
