I've had Dish Network for well over 10 years. Had them in Ohio, moved to Charlotte, NC in 2000 and kept them, and just moved to Jacksonville, NC and used the Dish mover program. Only ever called customer service twice (if you don't include the moving aspect) and never had an issue. Plus the two times with moving and once to upgrade to a DVR. Dish Network has a sports package that I have yet to see with other companies (although at the moment FOX is apparently wanting too much money for it's local sports networks, so they've added a couple other sports networks to make up for that). I've had more issues with the HOA where I used to live having a dish than I've ever had with having my dish. The only time it's gone out is really bad weather. A light rain storm has not made this dish go out. Actually right now I'm having more issues with our local phone company than I've had with my dish or my old phone company in the past 10 years.
