I've finally gotten fed up with the quarterly increase in Comcast's rates (80% increase over the last 7 years), so I'm looking to switch. Unfortunately, after looking at the various websites, my brain is saturated, so I come to the Axiom boards for advice, as per normal.

Unlike many people 'roude these parts, I'm pretty much looking for basic cable equivalent. I don't need HD, I've already got a DVR I like (assuming standalone TiVos work with satellite.) I don't really watch sports, other than auto racing, so it would be cool to have the Speed channel.

Anyway... anyone have experiences positive/negative to report on Dish vs. DirecTV? Do they actually make any offers to existing customers after that lovely $10/month off wears off?
