I just switched to dish after 14 years with DTV and the Dish is a lot faster. They refuse to guarantee you a better DVR unit unless you threaten to quit. But even then to try it you have to commit to 2 more years, so I switched. The DTV interface is more intuitive, but a lot slower.
The new HD GUI from DirecTV is so much better than the old one. There is literally no waiting between pages in the guide (at least with the HR24, there's not), whereas you can plainly see in this video that the old guide was really slow. To be fair, though, unless Dish has changed something on their SD boxes to compete with DirecTV--especially the 322 dual-output SD box--their guide is as slow and visually-unappealing as the old DirecTV guide used to be on the HR24.
att has the worst service ever too pricey with tones of issue. I got my 922 receiver from dish for free with a 2 yr commitment. i ve being with them for 3 yrs and I luv it. the dish guide is just superb. the 922 receiver connected with ur home media so if u have movies, musuc and pictures on any of ur computers in the house u can see them on ur TV. it even has picasa a picture sharing app amongst other. nicèeeee
Industry leading DVR technology? The largest HD DVR that DirecTV has is only 1TB. Dish has a 2TB hard drive. Dish interface is much more user friendly, their equipment requires only ONE line to the box for a DVR, whereas DirecTV has to punch TWO holes in your home for their DVR. Their guide lags and their customer service sucks. Oh, did I mention, DirecTV leases space off of the 119 and 110 orbitals, which are owned by Dish. They can't even launch good satellites.
@goldchain34 I've got an HR24 now and I can tell you that overall it's SLOWER than the HR20. The only thing that's faster is it's channel by channel scrolling. Everything else is slower and it often hangs. I'm not impressed at all. HD sure looks nice though ;)
Thank God I Switched To Dish!! Back On Saturday April 16th After Having DIRECTV For Little Over 8/12 Years Because DIRECTV Dropped OAN Back On Monday April 4th.

Then I Moved To Lake Corpus Christi, Had DIRECTV Hooked Up In September 2021, Then Monday April 4th Came DIRECTV Shut Down OAN The Remote Locator Is Very Useful ForMe When I Miss Place TheRemote”.
DIRECTV beats DISH Network hands down! DISH Network can claim what they want, but if you want the best channels the most full-time HD channels1, the most sports, NFL SUNDAY TICKET and industry-leading DVR technology, there’s only one choice: DIRECTV. Don’t just take our word for it: Over the past three years, for every customer DISH Network lost DIRECTV gained eight, Directv offers more fore your money and superior service and support
You do realize you can scroll page by page on DirecTV's box? Hold down the actual Channel button (not the four way direction button). When you do that DirecTV's box is actually twice as fast (I'm serious). I timed my box (HR 20) with your video and I got through the ENTIRE DirecTV lineup by the time you got to CH 458 (PPV Sports). I'll give you that Dish's box is prettier and probably more functional but you're comparing a newer box to an old one.
I wish you would have compared the top of the line Direct receiver (DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR) since you used the TOL Dish. BTW, i paid 150$ to get out of Direct because the DVR was sooooooo slow. their hardware isnt as good, period. Also, i love getting harassed at Sams and Best buy every time i walk in. I agree nothing can beat the 922 in the industry.
@QuarterSwede So, yes, you can scroll page by page on the Dish receivers too. (I have no idea why this guy tested scrolling one channel at a time... only an idiot would do that). But it's clear the Dish guide is much quicker and more responsive than the DirecTV guide.
Ohh i forgot att u verse sucks also. Get 922 duo with dish and u see what kind of experience you will get. I cancel u verse was cutting off all the time had to reset receiver every day. In my area
TheAustinChannel - oh ok becouse im about to have dish too but im scared that i wont have Nickelodeon or other cartoon channels do you have any suggestions
+TheAustinChannel - want chances do you thing i have to get nick channel when the other people have dish hopper well first of all do you need a box or just a wire connected to the tv with the dish controller
What is the point of this? Why does it matter how rapidly you can blitz through the guide? A test of how quickly you can change channels would be have been much more informative. HD to HD, HD to SD, etc., compared between the two companies.
YOU KNOW WHATS BETTER THEN DISH AND DIREC TV I HAD THEM ALL AND THEY SUCK SO I DROP THEM FOR ATT U-VERSE AND I AM MORE HAPPY THAN A KID IN A CANDY STORE AND DISH AND DIREC TV MENU AND GUIDE AND ON DEMAND GRAPICS SUCKS GO ATT U-VERSE
THIS IS A LIE DIREC TV IS WAY FASTER THAN WHT HES DOING ND IT IS ALL HD ND U CAN GET ON THE INTERNET WITH IT AND DNT TRY 2 SAY SOMETHIN IF U KNO U DNT HAV DIRECT TV AND U CAN PLAY LOTS OF GAMES AND MUSIC
How the hell you compare a two year old receiver with a brand new receiver. Directv put on the field the HR23 and recently the HR24 after the HR22. Before you post that BS on RUclips make sure you do a fair test. And did you this $649 VIP 922 is not even MultiRoom compatible. Give it some time and keep recording show on your Hard Drive that 922 will be slow too...

You have 2 DVRs.
One is the Dish VIP 922 and the other is the DirecTV HR22.

And for yall who want graphics in your receivers interface, Directv is coming out with a brand new Tivo DVR, look for it...
Its almost 2012 , and this video was in about the start of 2010. Has anything changed or is it the same , no different ?
How does he get both ?
Cnet was the first to point out that the DirecTV EPG tends to get hung up while scrolling.
I've seen the same household have both satellite and cable but I've never seen anyone with both a DirecTV and Dish Network receiver before.
Kevin Piland same
I'm a TV cable channel and I can't wait so big.
Which One Do You Like Better

The only issue you currently have is your crappy TV provider.
You do realize you can scroll page by page on DirecTV's box? Hold down the actual Channel button (not the four way direction button).
When you do that DirecTV's box is actually twice as fast (I'm serious). I timed my box (HR 20) with your video and I got through the ENTIRE DirecTV lineup by the time you got to CH 458 (PPV Sports).
