Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Satellite Dish at 5.0 against SatChannels's 3.8. Satellite Dish also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). SatChannels's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
