Nicholas Ward
If you're sick of that big, ugly, bulky antenna on your roof your probably ready to get some network programming. Maybe you're undecided which provider to get your services from Comcast Cable, or Dish Networks. If you need a little helping hand in making the decision, that's where this article comes in. To start this off right, why don't we make a side by side comparison of the pro's and con's.

Dish Networks - Pros

Dish networks has a very large selection of channels to watch and some really affordable rates for most consumers.

Dish networks also offers packages containing free DVR HD receivers and more.

Dish networks will install free depending on the time you called for service

Comcast Cable - Pros

Comcast provides on demand features for nearly every channel in their line up

Comcast has uninterrupted service no matter how bad that storm is it won't effect your picture unless lightning strikes the cable.

Comcast also offers incentive programs to sign up such as free DVR's and receivers.

Dish Networks - Cons

Dish networks isn't very stable in order for it to work you need to have a clear view of the sky so if you live with lots of trees around you won't be able to get service and on a cloudy day every time the clouds get in the way of the signal you will experience drop out and digital breakage in the signal causing the picture to be horrid or non existent.

Dish networks Typically will ask for a $300 or more deposit if you don't have excellent credit.

Dish networks can't provide all in one services like phone, TV, and Internet however they have partnered with other companies providing these other services to get you a discount.

Comcast Cable - Cons

Comcast doesn't have nearly as many live channels as Dish does. Dish's channels are repeats though east coast west coast same channel different region, so this is an unfair comparison. Furthermore most of the channels Dish carries that Comcast doesn't aren't worth watching.

Conclusion,
As you can see Comcast is vastly superior to Dish networks in nearly every way. Except channel line up in numbers only. So if you asked me for my suggestion I would say click on this link and get Comcast now. However, With the facts outlined above you can make up your own mind about which provider to choose.

    DISH Network has beaten Comcast in Customer Satisfaction for 10 years now according to the 2010 American Customer Satisfaction Index survey. I work at DISH and I can tell you that you can get three HD receivers for free. DISH has the lowest all-digital prices available everyday nationwide!
