Looking at either Dish or DirecTV for service. Nothing fancy, not looking at any NFL packages and most likely not any HD channels.
If I understand this correctly, with Dish, one receiver can control two TV's.
With Direct you can't.
Does Dish require phone service? Right now I'm looking at dry loop DSL.
Will that be a problem?
Thoughts?

Yes, 2 TV's supported independently by one box.
No phone line required.
No problem with cable or DSL.
If you don't have to have NFL Sunday Ticket then Dish Network is always the better value.

They do, which one?
I've looked and looked and didn't see anything.
