We currently have Comcast, but are seriously considering swithing to DirectTV because they have the Genie that can be viewed at several locations and you can record up to 4 channels on one base unit. The cost is supposed to be cheaper that Comcast and there will be more channels. We don't have HBO or Cinemax or any movie channels except Starz, so the bill should be considerably cheaper.

I have also heard that if you are watching a program in HD and a storm knocks out your signal, you can switch to the standard definition channel and it is not blocked. Probalby won't work with all the sports channels, but that doesn't concern us either.

I am just not looking forward to all the hassle of switching and learning the new channel lineups.
