I HAD DirecTV. I liked the programming, for the most part. They promised me all the local channels. They did not tell me that the local sports channel would be available for a hefty additional fee. They did not tell me I purchased my equipment and the warranty expires after one year. 13 months after I got it, I lost my signal. Something went wrong with the dish. I called for service and was told it was $70 for a service call or $35 service call plus $5 per month service plan plus another one year service commitment. Needless to say, I told them where they could put it. I plan to sell the receiver on Ebay. I am now back with cable.

We have had both. Right now we have Dish. The main reason we switched to Dish is because it came out a lot cheaper. The only thing I miss about Direct TV is the guide/menu, to me it was better than the Dish one. We lost the signal a lot with Direct TV when it would rain, but we never lose the signal with Dish. Also, we got a free DVR with Dish.
