Sounds like both companies are about equally despised. Last year, I talked Direct into a $30 per month discount for 12 months. If I can get that again, I'll probably stay with them. If not I will probably go with Dish and lock in a two year price. It is tempting to get rid of satellite and put up an antenna but I sure like being able to easily record shows and zip through commercials. We don't spend much on entertainment except for the tv service and our internet (Century Link) is so bad that streaming is out of the question.

Anybody have Hughes Net satellite internet? If so what do you think of it? I've read so many negative reviews that I'm afraid to try it.

Thanks for all the comments.
