Direct vs Dish and ?

Nothing about RV or DNS. I was with Direct almost from the beginning until 6 months ago when my free HD promotion expired and they wouldn't budge on the rates. Replaced a dog-slow HR22 with a 722, which is much more responsive. We're making good use of the dual output to watch 2 different shows at the same time without the 2nd receiver fee. We're getting the low new customer rates for a year which was the main reason for switching, with the hopelessly slow DVR being a close second. It's not a totally one-sided argument and I could switch back after the 2 year contract is up. The Dish DVR as I mentioned is more responsive and Dish has superior OTA support. We spend a lot of time watching OTA stations that are on translators that most Direct receivers won't even try to tune in because they're in the wrong DMA. The AM21 sensitivity is bad, so marginal stations can't be picked up even if they're in the program guide. On the other hand, Direct's remote layout IMO is way better (although their new remote is bad from what I'm hearing), and the Direct DVR didn't crash as often, maybe once or twice a week compared to every 2 days for the 722.
