We just switched about two weeks ago, I had Comcast cable.

The picture quality is really good - even on our antique televisions. The number of channels is overwhelming. We went with the Plus DVR package - which has at least a million channels. OK - 250 channels.

One thing I've discovered is on some channels (A&E, SciFi) shows I would normally watch at 9:00 are on three hours earlier. It's not like this on all channels, just some.

So far we're very happy with Directv - ask me again in a year!
