Direct TV or Dish Deals?

[zzglenn]

Hello,

I am dropping Charter TV to help save money (currently paying $100/month for it). Dish and Direct TV both have $19.99/month deals. I don't watch much TV, but the rest of the family has a few channels they like to watch and keep. I was hoping to get one or the other with lowest possible package. I know their websites have deals, but I have been hounded by sales guys in Best Buy and Sams Club many times offering additional deals including gift cards, memberships, free TVs ect. Is there some site that tracks these type of deals? Also is there a better time of the year to order from these vendors than the rest of the year?

When I see the ads with the low introductory prices I always wonder how much it costs after the first year.

You should consider cutting the cord. Depending on which channels your family wants and how fast your internet connection is, you can save a bundle.

Make sure you know how much it will be after the intro period and what the length of the contract is.

I have DTV and love the service. Previously had Dish and it/they sucked.

Thanks all for the comments. I decided to go the slingtv route with an Amazon Fire TV. I get most of the channels I need, and ends up only costing 25$/month, and I can stream to phone, and tablets as well.
