Satellite Sports Comparison
Sports is an area where the rubber hits the road when choosing between Dish & DirecTV. You can spend quite a bit of money trying to get that just right sports package and still be in a blackout zone. Dish and DirecTV both have great sports packages, but you need to ultimately be the one to decide who gets your business. I've made it a little easier for you by listing (below) the top sports packages carried by Dish and Direct TV.
