DTV is ok with me..
Kubricky, I have DirecTV and the new HD DVR is quite nice. I actually have 3 DVRs, but that's another topic. I have Comcast as my ISP (because Verizon suks A$$), but wouldn't touch their Video services. Most of Verizon FiosTV is actually a repackaged DirecTV feed AFAIK. DTV is a bit cheaper all other things being equal.
You can auto-record every GP, AMA, WSBK, Motocross, etc. race that you want. The DVR also lets you set up a recording over the web.
I get all locals in HD, Speed HD (although MotoGP & WSBK is not sourced in HD yet) and more HD than I can ever watch, if that's even important to you. You may want to check and see if local ordinances or HOA has a rule against SAT Dishes.
