I have had Comcast, Directv, and Dish since I have lived in TV.

Comcast was first. Still have them for internet and basic cable on a couple of outlets. (Reduces the internet rate if you have basic cable.) I look at this as a necessary evil. At this moment I am looking at 7 computers. Also have two iPads, phones that connect to wifi, Wii that connects to wifi, Dish box that connects to wifi, and on and on.

I signed up for Directv when I bought a motorhome about two years ago that had an expensive but very effective dish on the roof that got the Directv signal just as good as home, including HD. Worked great except for an occasional campsite that had trees blocking a clear view to southern skies.I was happy with Directv and would recommend them unless you have a motorhome and park under trees. Or have a motorhome with a dome antenna system - there are none of that type that can receive a Directv HD signal.

So now I have Dish - mainly because I bought another motorhome and it has one of those dome antenna systems that cannot get HD on Directv, but can get it on the Dish network. (Something about the satellites being low on the horizon.) I also bought an automatic portable antenna for those times when I am under a tree. BTW - the dome system isn't cheap, but it does track the satellites as you drive down the highway. I have never watched TV while driving but Interstate 10 through Texas does get pretty boring.

I am happy with Dish so far. We were in Kentucky for about two months and I called them to change service so I could get local channels - they did it with no problem. In fact we also got charged Kentucky taxes for that time. The service seems to be on the same level as Directv, the package we got has plenty of channels to watch and most of what we watch is in HD.
