I have Dish now, Direct in the past. I'm sticking with Dish for 2 reasons that may or may not apply to you: (1) Dish has satellite channels I watch that Direct doesn't, and (2) OTA support gets subchannels that aren't part of the locals on the satellite.
Dish support for OTA is fairly good, Direct's is lousy. On the other hand, Dish has a few very annoying software (I assume) bugs leading me to think Direct's reliability is somewhat better. The UIs are different, I suppose 50% of the population prefers one, and the other 50%, the other.
