Chip in Ohio here.  I had DirectTV for about ten years & loved it.  I had a customer service issue which hacked me off, so I jumped to AT&T U-Verse.  I hate it.  The DVR is so...  freakin... slow... at moving through menus, erasing, etc.  Anyway, I've got Dish Network coming out on Saturday to hook me up.  I'm getting a VIP 722k DVR receiver, which I guess controls 2 TVs?  Seems like their DVR receiver has pretty positive reviews, so hopefully my wife will quit swearing at me everytime she watches tv.  I'll be getting a 1000 dish which receives 3 satellites.
Anyway, good to be here.  Cheers.
