I know this is one of those Ford vs Chevy questions, so I'm not asking whats better, but for people who own any of the 3 major satellite systems to post what they like or dislike about the Satellite system they use, as I am done with comcast, and on track to get Dish Network, but It's been years since Ive really seen what Direct TV and C-Band have to offer, I had Primestar and Direct after they bought them out, but shortly after I discontinued using it, so thats how long it's been, I'd appreciate peoples feedback on this, since I was already wrong once with comcast, don't wanna ever have to deal with anything like them ever again!

DirecTV over DISH.
4DTV and C-band over any other.

Ditto on the C-band stuff, if you're concerned about quality. You also can (last I heard) pick your channels completely a-la carte. That's a nice options. Unfortunately more and more networks are using squashed to heck digital compression to squeeze more channels into the available spectrum, so the quality issue isn't as big as it was 10 years ago. And then there are the wild feeds, backhauls and all that fun stuff. It's a real PITA to channel surf, but quality wise it's your best bet. The dish also doubles as a nice big birdbath.

From what ive been researching, 4DTV and C-Band, look like not only the way to go channel wise, but price wise they seem to be if not equal then lower compared to the 2 majors, and they have a new little c-band dish., not little like the other 2 companys little, but little in comparison to the normal c-band satellites, I wonder why c-band is so under used, that's my only concern, if something seems to good to be true, well you know!

C-Band is tops for quality, but if you have a space issue, DirecTV is the way to go...
