Just dropped directv for dish, so i can give a recent comparison.

First off, people say dish hates sports. Aside from their threat to drop espn any day now (no big deal, right...) I have no issue with their sports coverage. For me, they have the sports pack, which lets me see out of market college games, they have redzone.  Directv has redzone too, of course, but you need to pay a small fortune for the full nfl package, or call and beg to the right rep to get it without the full nfl package.

Biggest plus for dish to me was that sling was included for free in my cable box.  Now I can watch any channel from my subscription, anywhere in the world when i have an Internet connection. And I can watch anything on my dvr as well. It works great, and I love it. Combined it with unlimited data on my cell phone, and I was riding in a car on the mass pike Sunday afternoon watching redzone.

Otherwise, the 2 services are pretty similar.

Overall, as long as dish settles with espn- and I'd bet they will- I would say I prefer dish. The sports for me are equal, the sling option just takes dish to another level.
