I also am happy with directv. New customer pricing is what Is enticing me. It most likely would if I were going the other way a well. Into the contract the pricing is similar.
In any case, enjoy. And if you have questions this is the place.

For the same money, I most likely would as well based on my past experience with both.Ive been back and forth several times, like Directv better mainly because of PQ. It's nice to save money of course, but paying the same amount of dough, Id take Directv every time.
$100? How is it possible that you paid that much? I have yet to have a bill over $80 (except for when I used to sub to EI) the entire time I was with them.Well, after a few months of paying a $100 sat bill and watching very little I decided that it was time to cut back or cut it off. I just did not seem to be getting my moneys worth.
I looked at keeping Directv, which I am VERY happy with (and have been since 2006) and just dropping down a package, but it seemed to net me very little in the way of savings as an existing customer. I also looked at getting them to give me a discount, which they always have in the past, but even then, the savings pale in comparison to what you can get as a new subscriber.
So, I did some looking. It appears that over a two year period, I can save right at $500. Now I am giving up some tuners versus my D* setup of 3 HRs, but I do not foresee many, if any conflicts, as I personally watch very little tv except sports (mainly football), the wife watches mostly during prime time, which this covers, and our daughter watches recorded content that usually records while nobody is home during the day.
Anyway, they are scheduled to do the install this saturday, they actually wanted to do it today, lol, I guess they are not busy in this area.
I am gonna give it a go and see how it is.
Choice extra, DVR fee, Whole home, three receivers, taxes, ect. It adds up.$100? How is it possible that you paid that much? I have yet to have a bill over $80 (except for when I used to sub to EI) the entire time I was with them.

Looks like the Hopper may be the best option for you. Hope everything works out

OK. Just looking at my bill I would normally be paying $96/month. I forgot about the discounts I have had for the last two years. I am currently paying $76/month, but I have 2 years of free HD (-$10) and $10 off my Choice Xtra for 2 years.
Those will both be expiring this summer. Once they do I will call them and ask them for the same discount. If they cannot, then FiOs will be about the same price and I may go with them.
