Who are you talking about... DirecTV or Dish Network???

[kg2280]

Good Morning All,
I have a simple request... could someone please tell me, or generate some kind of list for what all the different acronyms and abbreviations used to identity a providers are? Specifically, which ones mean Dish Net and which ones means DirecTV.

I see a lot of D*, and E* when comparing prices and service, equipment, etc. in various threads and I have no clue who you are talking about.

Not to sound too sarcastic, but why not just type of the name of the providers in your post, is that not allowed here and we're supposed to use those letters.

Thanks in advance and please don't bite my head off, some of you can get brutal here which is why I rarely post.

D* = DIRECTV
E* = DISH Network (use to be Echostar and thus the E)

 

[Hemi 6.1]

E* = Dish Network
D* = DirecTv

Oh come on Hemi, DISH gives customers free foriegn channels instead of Kids channels when you don't want them! I never seen DIRECTV do that!

I'm surprised you forgot one under D* Hemi?.....D*= refurbs with every new install.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

D*= refurbs with every new install.

Whats funny is Even the New ones act like refurbs.

That is not true, Hemi, and you know it. The new ones are the 24's, and they are up there with the best receivers/DVRs on the market.

I don't know that at all.

And I bet over 3/4 of the new installs are still HR 21,22,23's.

That is probably true, or at least a majority are.
