Yes, Less with 2 tuner/2tv receivers or no if you have phone version (Fios, Uverse) available in your area.

I have heard the hd is a little better with Directv, but I think the most important thing is programming. Which provider has what you want to watch? Being a Yankee fan, I have to have Directv, since Dish doesn't offer the YES network.

HD PQ depends on your TV and how it is calibrated.
If you want the most HD channels and the best PVR, then yes, you should switch.
Each HD receiver is $7 per month after the first.

Right now. But Direct will catch up and probably pass them within a few months. Originally Posted by peano

Another plus for Dish! is their AEP includes the DVR fee,DirecTV's Premier package now does not.
