We switched from DTV earlier this year and haven't regretted it yet. With all the rate raises they had and their constant dropping of channels from the basic package, it wasn't worth the money we were spending every month on dish, especially since they installed our dish incorrectly and it would go out completely with the lightest of rain. DTV also never carried any of our local channels, and put the major networks (ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS) on premium package.

Dish Network has a great basic package, offered us free DVR with signup, and gave us a two tv setup so that both tv's could be hooked up and see separate channels. There are kinks, but on the whole much better than anything we had with DTV. We pay a little more, but get so much extra that it's worth it.

Installation went quickly and smoothly, tech was knowledgeable and friendly.
