You will need new antenna hardware but otherwise there is very little difference between Dish and DirecTV. The services work the same other than having a larger spread between the Dish satellites than is necessary between the DirecTV satellites and some dramatic differences in sports packages.
As to the to base cable services, they are exactly the same so you just need to compare pricing today and how much they will raise your rate once the trial period is over.
One other thought. If you call Dish and have them move your local Network programming to Yuma when you travel you may find that getting DirecTV to do the same thing is quite difficult. Dish allows you to change location at random but DirecTV makes it quite difficult. Otherwise, I see no real difference.
