I've had DirecTV for the last 9 years. Honestly I can't see myself switching to Dish nor Cable. Those of you that are wondering, currently DirecTV offers the most HD channels. Something like 95 vs 81 or something for Dish. The new 5-line dishes (required to get HD reception--free @ sign-up) are heavy and sturdy, such that even with the Santa Ana winds which are prevalent here in So Cal, I've never had any downtime in service. Because I am a sports junky, I have a few sports package subscriptions (ESPN Full Court, NBA League Pass, NFL Sunday Ticket and ESPN Game Plan-- of which NFL Sunday Ticket is exclusive to DirecTV). I think it all boils down to what type of programming you're looking for. If it's just movie channels and channels like MTVHD, History Channel HD you're looking for, then probably both DirecTV and Dish are about equal. Where DirecTV blows both cable and Dish out the water is with their sports package offerings.

Damn, didn't realize I had typed so much jibberish LOL.......Hope this was of help.
