Both DISH Network and DirecTV offer the same number of premium movie channels, such as Starz Encore, Showtime and HBO. Prices may differ slightly, depending upon the package in favor of DISH Network.
DISH Network's packages are amply described as offering favorable, "general interest" programming and continues to add more on a regular basis. Yet DirecTV also provides just about every channel DISH Network does, albeit sometimes in different packages and for different prices. Consumers need to decide what they can spend, what they want to watch, and which packages offer the best value based upon those criteria.
