We have had DirecTV for almost four years and love it. The only problems are calling after hours to speak with foreigners try to call during business hours. And in the snow if you don't hose it off or have a cover for it the snow may pile up on the receptors. You have to be careful if there are power lines you don't want water from the hose arcing back on you.

My Mom had Dish and I watched while I was there. It seemed fine except they did not have some channels they could not agree to contract with. Here in my area there is no CBS on the Dish TV or at least I saw tv commercials saying so about two months ago.

I love my DirecTV I am used to the channels, it has lots of music channels also everything on XM. I don't subscribe to the movie stations because when I had them I never watched them. We love Pay Per View though.
