Direct TV or Dish Network?

I've decided to switch to satellite TV from cable. my primary reason is due to cost. My basic cable service has now increased to $59 per month, and that's without any boxes or digital converters to rent - the cable plugs directly to the TV. Not having the box reduces the bill by about $7 but I don't get any benefit of free on demand stuff.

So, I'm wondering what people like better - Direct TV or Dish Network.

Next, I thought I would compare pricing and, just like cable, nobody can give a straight answer.

I look on-line at Direct TV and it looks like $24 per month + rental of boxes + $10 for HD

I went to Best Buy and you can buy the box for $99 (per room) but then the monthly pricing structure looks completely different than the on-line version - even the channels look to be completely different choices and the price seems much higher (and you pay for the boxes)

Anyone have any opinions or advice?
