Title: Dish vs DirectTV

I have to say the DVR is awesome--I still get ESPNU and CSTV. I don't get Fox College Sports, and that's the only thing I miss. We get NFL Network in HD. I say if you're not going to get Sunday Ticket, go for Dish. Dish is a little behind in HD channels right now, but they are adding them this year to catch up w/ DTV. You probably can't go wrong either way.
