May I should answer some of these questions.
Is Satellite pure crap?---been with DirecTV for like ever, so I'm used to it.
Will I have WeatherScan?---well, it's not the same as what you will normally see, but it has your zip code and everything.
Should I be sad?---well...idk if you really are, then you can cry on my shoulder.
How is the HD quality? N/A
How is the DVR? N/A
How is DirecTV?--- pretty good...sucky at times, especially if you are a mover.
Will I still get my Local On The 8's and the tickers and the other stuff? ---Like I said, it's gonna be your personal LOT8s, but it will have your zip code, and the whole thing will be different.
Am I rambling?--- no
Should I shut up?--- I'm not asking you to.
I will.
In my opinion. DirecTV is pretty good, but once you move and stuff it messes up your whole programming (especially if you live in a certain area, you don't get local channels). I want Dish, because it's better. I wish you luck on your switch, but it's not too late to make plan B.
