    The very best.
Can't keep cox, my par...err I can't pay 88 bucks a month for mediocrity.

So, which is better? I want a good dvr, the most sports in HD, and the most sports period for the cheapier. I don't care for sunday ticket.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Isn't your mommy and daddy paying for it since you still live at home?

DTV might have a few more sports channels.  I went with Dish for the free (and superior) HD-DVR.  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.

direct has free hd-dvr too.  and there's absolutely no reason to go with dish over direct.

Yeah the Dish DVR has a USB port--you can ship your stuff to any external HD.  They do charge like $40 to turn it on, though.
