We just switched from Direct TV to Comcast. We have had both Comcast and Direct TV in other parts of the country and have alway preferred Direct until we moved here. Although we almost never lost satellite reception "up north" we found we lost it several times each month during the heavy rains that occur in the summer. Reception was typically restored in less than an hour, but it just became frustrating. We also decided that during bad storms, we wanted to be able to watch the weather reports and we often could not do that with Direct TV because of the loss reception. We were able to get a 2 yr deal for TV and Internet with comcast that is about $10/month less than we were paying with Direct TV and Comcast for internet however, the biggest factor in our decision was the periodic lost recption of Direct TV
