Well I have done comparisons though not recently with Directv.
DISH can be lower than cable and by quite alot. Top 200 includes just about all the channels where a comparable priced Spectrum Cable package leaves out a few. When you look at the details no one has what the Flex Pack offers for that cost. If you can drop locals that's a savings. By the time you go through equipment fees, DISH is going to be less. Spectrum starts with a $19 DVR fee if anything more than one room and then add $13 for a DVR receiver including the first one.
That is before the current customer discounts that make DISH even cheaper for me. $15 off the top 200, and a $7 DVR fee. $6.00 for the exact time period I wanted for the Sports pack - Baseball season to see ends of games through NFL season (for the NFL Zone).
Even when Spectrum TV bundled with internet, the first year is close still more, after that easily more.
It does appear Spectrum only has a contract if you need a buyout from your current provider, before they advertised no contract and that was true, but that is possible with DISH also. The best deal was with a contract with Spectrum it looks like that has changed.
The real difference is alot of people don't want to be bothered with a satellite dish, or the way repairs are handled with Satellite.
Yes, there can be instances I'm sure where someone will get about the same service (channels) for less particularly when bundled depending on where you live. I can't in Fl or Ct.

." The extra money we pay isn't really going to pay for more or better newcasters or helicopters or whatever. It is lining the pockets of a very few people, and we don't really get any additional value for the cost. In some cases, the resulting product is objectively much worse (see Sinclair).
