I have Dish Network and I'm really happy with it. I get so many channels that I feel like the program guide is on the screen more often than any actual shows. Anyway, I chose Dish over DTV a few years ago. I lurked on the alt.satellite.dbs newsgroups for a while before making the decision. However, Echostar (Dish Network) is making a bid to take over DirectTV so your choice may be a moot point as they'll both be essentially the same if the sale happens. If you have any questions about it though, just let me know. The channel choice is mostly the same.
