AS far as the service and quality are concerned, both companies are pretty much equal there. Dish Network tends to be a bit cheaper and they give you more free equipment, but if you are big into sports, then DirecTV would probably be your better bet. They def have more sports programming than Dish Network.
As far as movies are concerned, both services offer the same movie channel and pay-per-view options, but you would probably really like DirecTV Cinema. With a high-speed internet connection to your receiver you can stream 1,000's of shows and movies on demand at no extra charge if you subscribe to the Choice Xtra package or higher. Right now, Choice Xtra starts at $34.99 a month for the first 12 months, so it's pretty affordable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
