It's been awhile since doing A/B comparison bot both SAT providers but the general consensus was DISH was cheaper and DTV had a far superior product...channels, gui, DVR, Remote Scheduling, Sports, etc etc.

I'd choose DTV over DISH anyday for a SAT provider anyday, but this is within *my budget*. BTW, spring for the protection plan if you do switch. It's $6 a month but covers all equipment, any service visits, etc, etc.
