I had direct tv for 2 years up until yesterday. My contract ran out and I can't steal internet from anyone so I switched to comcast to get internet and tv. Luckily I got a deal for 106 a month from comcast, so I guess that's alright.
Directv was sick as hell, though. I heard their pricing is increasing in February so you may want to check into that. You do have to sign a 2yr contract and it costs money to get out of it. Their DVR is pretty great. I'm on the east coast and it only went out 2 times. Once last year when we got like 12 inches of snow... but it went out only because the dish was so covered in ice and snow. I cleaned it off and it was fine. One other time it went out when it was hailing, windy, and really shitty out. It only went out for a few minutes though.
I definitely liked it better than the Comcast I have, but I'm saving like 70 bucks a month, so that's cool.
My Directv package initially was 30 bucks a month for HD and DVR, it then went up to 70 after a year. I'm not sure what the new February pricing is, you may want to check into that.
