We use direct, again because we have had home and have always had good service. We have been able to get the local (national channels) easily once set up. We just call Directv and they activate for us. Rate does not change, but billing may go up or down since based on the taxes charged at the downlink location. We only do that when we are going to be in one place for a month or so. Otherwise we use the air antenna. Direct is certainly easy to set up. I am told, but have no personal experience, that Dish is a bit harder to bring in because of the satellite footprint.
