Just switched to Directv after 14 years with Dish. Losing the Fox Sports channels was the main motivator, but it also looks like we'll be saving $$. So far, very happy. The picture quality does look better. The guide looks great, too (I think I spend more time trying to FIND a channel rather than watching sometimes!
). My small brain is having problems remember what the new channel numbers are!
Install went very smoothly. Should be receiving the boxes to return the Dish equipment any day. I am also pleasantly surprised at the size of the receivers compared to Dish. The Dish one in our living room ran very hot most of the time, and we couldn't shut the doors to the entertainment center, or it would overheat. The Directv receiver runs much cooler, so that's nice, too.
