The good is that we did run from Comcast after many years. We called DirectTV and they converted from one to the other with no interrupt. We were able to get a great system with AT&T at a lower price. we like Direct TV much more than we liked Comcast
The Bad is that we had to stick with Comcast for the internet which we now have to follow each month to make sure they don't pull the same tricks with it as they did with the TV service.
The Ugly, we have had Direct TV for about 8 months and bingo on our last bill our 4 individual Genie's went up 50 cents a month and we were billed $2.14 for a 2 channel local sports which we don't follow anyway. To cancel this $2.14 2 channel clip would mean we would have to go to another plan and lose 74 channels in the process. The increases are minor, the implications are major.
