So far I'm not as happy with DirecTV as I had hoped. My local channels are not in HD, which means when I turned on my recording of the basketball game it was 4:3 and standard definition. Seriously? 50% of my TV viewing is the broadcast networks.
The menu system is a bit confusing, but I might just have to get used to it. The DVR controls are much more responsive than the Comcast ones, but less responsive than DishNetwork's DVR so that's a step down for me.
At least the install went smoothly.
