POLL: Dish Network + HDTV - VS - DirecTV + Tivo?

I'm moving soon and since I got an awesome deal on a new TV, figured I should watch more of it. 🙂

Currently, most places are selling a 2-room DirecTV setup with DirecTivo for < $99 installed (3 LNB dish).

Now, DishNetwork / Sears is offering a free 811 HD receiver with a 2/3 room system and service.

I've always been a DirecTV fan (and the owner of the company actually lives down the street) but a free HD receiver is :beer:😎

Thoughts?


edit: If you can support your choice with good reasons to pick one or the other that helps. (i.e., billing issues, channel selection, picture quality)
 
Dish. I'd rather jam a pencil in my eye than give DirecTV a cent of my money. Besides, I've found the Dish service to be better and as you said, HD is good :beer:
 
You could always get the best of both worlds either way. DirecTV currently has a few companies that make HD Tivos and Dish Network is coming out with the 921 receiver which is a HD DVR with 2 tuners.

Get HDTV and a ReplayTV or Tivo standalone so you get HDTV and Tivo.

I don't think you realize what a cost-ineffective solution that is.

Tivo through DTV/Dish = $5/mo, no initial cost.

Tivo standalone = $10/mo, $200 initial cost.
 
DirecTiVo is awesome. HD rocks too, but it is too limited at this point to even begin to approach the usefulness of DirecTiVo.
