I've had both Directv and Dish, currently with Dish.

We switched last year after buying our current motorhome. I want HD while we travel and Dish seems to offer more antenna options. For example, the "in-motion" dome antenna I have on the motorhome can pick up Dish in HD, but Directv is only available in standard definition. We also wanted a portable alternate antenna - both Winegard and King Controls offer those in HD for Dish, not Directv. (When spaces are available we like to park the RV under shade trees, that blocks the rooftop dome antenna, I place the portable to the front or rear of the motorhome so it can "see" the southern sky.)

I do take the home receivers on the road.
