Should I get DirecTV?

I've been thinking about cancelling my Comcast cable service this next month and going to DirecTV. Anyone think it's a smart choice?

My main concern is pricing, followed by what I can get on HD.

Right now I pay about $105/month which includes 2 HD DVRs. With the Choice Ultimate package on DirecTV, I get the same amount of DVRs and only pay $50/month for the first year and then it goes back up to about $60. It's big savings but I'm just not excited about signing a 2-year contract.

I wouldn't do it. I know too many horror stories and those prices can still go up, contract or no.

For me, DirecTV was certainly a better deal than cable. I ended up paying $15 more a month for internet but it's still cheaper by like $40 to have than cable/internet bundled.

But I wish I could cancel and just do the internet tv thing now. I'm still locked in for another year.

I do like DirecTV because it is significantly cheaper than cable. I also liked the channel lineup and Sunday Ticket.
