Thinking of moving to DirecTV, for HD...is this crazy?

[Tom Bombadil]

I agree with the advice that unless you must have something that TB* (TurdBird TV) offers right now, it would probably be best to stay with E* and monitor the situation. Otherwise you might find yourself in the middle of a two year commitment and TB* not delivering on their promises.

I'm just 4 months into my 18 month 622 commitment, but I expect to seriously re-evaluate my situation at the end of next year.

Well I think Dish is post to add 3 more cities Locals in HD before the year is up. My guess the rest of them would be added sometime next year. I have several friends that left Direct after being with them for a long time. They all tell me the samething and that is they wished they switched to Dish a long time ago.

HD in the hand is worth two HD rumors in the bush
D* has been saying more HD for years, like since 2002
Voom was the true HD leader, but sadly ahead of their time. Few had HD then.
Now even walmart sells HDtv and E* has many voom channels.
D*? Still rumors.
