We've had DirecTV for going on 15 years and love it. We love the ease of scheduling their DVR, and the sports channels, and the incredibly brilliant picture. I think I've mentioned before that the change was easier for us because we wanted to watch Steelers games, and they have NFL Ticket. And now they have Extra innings so we can watch all the Pirates games and catch some Tigers and Marlins games. So having a solid reason to change makes it easier.
They'd have to go out of business before we would change.

Satellite has been around for television to the home since the 80's and has continually improved though the use of high frequencies has increased it's susceptibility to weather interference. I think Cfrance is correct, we get those services that are important to us as individuals. If sports is important then you will accept the "minor" trade off to get what is important. If consistency through bad weather is important you will find a service that gives you that. If price is the driver then you will find alternatives and "cut the cord". All are the right choices for our individual needs which is why there is competition.
