I almost switched to Direct after better than 10 years with Dish. Two things caused me not to and the primary reason was that the Direct TV dual digital tuner does not allow you to watch two different channels at the same time on two different tvs. You can watch on two tvs but they will both be on the same channel. Don't know if that was your issue or not.

With Dish and the two tuner digital receiver I have we can watch different channels simultaneously from the single receiver and record two channels at the same time.

On a diferent note, I had planned on going to an HDTV receiver at the same time. After talking to techs at both Direct and Dish I opted not to because I was told by both that getting the dish set-up on a tripod like I have to because we are living full-time in the RV, would drive me crazy. I believe it was like 5 satellites which you have to hit in synch to get all the HD channels. They advised that unless I wanted to carry anxiety and hyper-tension medication and spend an inordinate amount of time setting up, I would be well advised not to go to HD at this time.

Sure glad we didn't buy that Sharp Aquos we durn near bought, cause our Sony gives us a great picture thusfar.

Sorry to get off topic, but thought the info might be of help to some.
