Incompetent People In my quest for programming beyond basketball, I have been comparing Dish Network vs. DirectTV. I sent an email as follows to DirectTV:I would prefer to have your service over Dish Network, however, you only appear to offer The Golf Channel in your most expensive package which includes a great deal more than I am interested in. Is it possible to add this one channel to a different package?This was the response:Dear Raulr, Note they can't even spell a name!!Thanks for asking about how our service compares to the Dish Network. To start, DIRECTV is ranked #1 in customer satisfaction among satellite and cable TV subscribers, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
