Which is better HDTV -- DirectTV or AT&T? I want Hi Definition TV; but,
the cost for the former would be almost half for the first year of what
it is for the latter.

Personally, OTA works for me. I get about 55 channels of crystal clear
DTV, with HDTV on all the major networks. With a 6 tuner MythTV DVR
network, I never run out of something to watch. I've still got movies
recorded from last Dec. I haven't watched yet.
