I wanted to mention one other thing that I really like about DirecTV. I don't know if Dish or Comcast have the same option, maybe they do. With DirecTV you can program the remote control to work either with IR or RF. I reprogrammed mine to work with RF so that it is easier to use with the receiver inside a media console. Now I could even change channels using the remote in another room, not that you want ever really need to do that. It is easier using the remote without having to point it directly at the receiver.
