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 DIRECTV. These sports packages are usually available through Pay-Per-View and not included in most programming packages.
NOTE: I had trouble finding all the DIRECTV prices for these because they don't put the prices out of season. I will update the prices as they become available.
