I am moving to a new house and will have Verizon FIOS for the Internet. I have had Dish Network for the past 4+ years and been happy with it. It would be a little cheaper to go with the Verizon all together as a package, but if the DVR isn't as good it might drive me crazy. My father has Brighthouse digital cable (I think) and the DVR is pretty much worthless to me. Here's what I like about the Dish setup-
-The skip ahead and skip back buttons (no delay)
-the various speeds for manual fast forward and rewind (the program actually plays immediately from when you hit play at the exact spot you push it.)
-The PiP being able to pause one station and keep it on PiP and switch back and forth makes it easy to watch multiple games or shows (or scan through music on the music channels) or come back to something without having to actually record it. You can go back through 2hrs that were on the other station. It doesn't sound like a deal breaker but you get used to having it...
The programing and available stations seem pretty comparable. I just don't want to sign up for something that will not be what I want. Thanks for the input!
