I wish they would drop the "analog to digital tv" "Sticky" and add one for Dish vs Directv advantages, disadvantages, etc. People could make an educated decision before getting satellite service or switching. The equipment and connections are so much different. I'm not a rep for Directv but it appears from reading all of the problems, that in MY opinion and experience, Directv is easier to connect in a RV. I think folks like being able to put out a little cube and get HD easily. Good luck with your decision.
