Thanks in advance,

What made us switch from Dish to DirecTV a couple years back (in OH, when we decided to upgrade our service to include HD) was based on channel offerings by both. Dish didn't carry several channels in HD that were "must have" make-or-break deals for us. So we went with DirecTV. Neither company has been 100% stellar with their customer service - it's such a highly technical business.......and not everybody working the phones is a great technician. But I'd give both companies a "pretty good" rating.

Moral: Consider looking into the details of their channel offerings to make sure you'll be able to get everything you want - in HD if that's a consideration for you.
