I know I came from PrimeStar. Not sure if it was a name change or a buyout, but DirecTV is great and I've never cared much for Dish.
PrimeStar was a separate satellite service from DirecTV. It launched its service in 1991, 3 years before DirecTV. It was acquired and shut down by DirecTV in 1999. Primestar customers were transitioned to DirecTV.
