DIRECT TV vs DISH Family Plan Comparison
For years, the Family Plan has been a great entry-level option for DIRECT TV and DISH TV subscribers alike. It has a solid assortment of popular, specialty and sports channels, all at no additional charge.
DIRECTV and DISH Network don’t cover the same set of channels, so be sure to check the table below for your favorites. If you don’t find your top channels below, it’s usually less expensive to upgrade to the next package instead of adding them on a la carte (which some providers still allow you to do).
