It use to be that you could receive Dish or Direct with the same satellite antenna but a few years ago dish changed that and you have to have a dedicated Antenna now. I had to sell and buy a new antenna just so I could use Dish tv since I canned Directv. What I dont like about dish is your antenna is powered by the receiver. When we had directv it was powered separately so once you got it locked on signal you could unplug the antenna and stay locked on. Now if your power gets interrupted you have to go through the whole dang setup again. I thought dish would be a better option over direct..... now I now they BOTH SUCK! I didnt think customer service could be worse than Directv....wrong again oh and with directv you could take the receiver from your house and use it. With dish you have to buy a dedicated receiver which still belongs to dish even though you had to buy it
