No. Only TVG on DirecTV.

What is that? A local provider?

I'm in the same boat - going to be moving out of the Verizon FIOS area and need to get one of the two.
The Dish guide was confusing, and I didn't see TVG. But if you can get both, that might be the deal.
Plus I think you can order the Roberts Simucast package for like 59.00 a month and get the exact same simulcast feed as the otb's on Dish.

My bad on DISH not having TVG. I was obviously wrong

ditto what the two above me stated. I have to spend an extra $10/month for the sports package that includes tvg/hrtv and a busload of regional sports networks that i never watch.

u-verse is att's version of fios. same concept. if it's available where you live, it's a good alternative.

I have uVerse as well, much better than cable in my opinion. It uses fiber optics so storms have no effect unless of course you lose power. The picture is very good, and most importantly, the quoted part is true.

its just as good as direct for less $$

DirectTV can't compare to DISH!!!!!!!!! Stick with Dish, you be happy you did when DirectTV's rip-off price increases take effect shortly.

Dish has the best value. HRTV and TVG is offered even in the most basic package.

No bueno on the AT&T deal - not available

looks like Dish wins
