Dish vs direcTV – Which is Cheaper? So you want satellite television? The problem is, when it comes down to it, you just want to compare the cost. It”s hard enough to explain away the hours we spend in front of the tube, let alone the amount of money we spend to waste said hours. Well here it is – the satellite TV enthusiast, dish war cost breakdown.
The Cheapest
The cheapest plan on Dish Network is DishFamily at $19.99 per month. On DIRECTV the cheapest plan is Family Choice for $29.99 per month. These two plans give us a close apples-to-apples comparison. With both package you get 40 channels. These channels would certainly satisfy the Flander”s family from the Simpsons, but they are so cheap that you do often find them advertised. Seriously, unless you are just getting the satellite for your young kids, you may want to move up the ladder a bit.
The Popular
Now we come to the popular packages. Dish Network offers what I would call a mid-level package referred to as America”s Top 60. Take your 40 church channels from the cheapest selection and throw on 20 of the most popular channels in America and you have the top 60. This has to be the most popular choice for the budget conscious consumer. This package costs $29.99 per month.
