DTV blows. You can't even split it. You have to run a direct line to  
every single TV. And if you want HD w/DRV, you need two direct lines  
to each TV. They brag about their HD channels, but the signal cuts in  
and out several times a week and in our condo unit, we have two TV  
drops, but can only get DTV to one. I'd much rather have Comast or  
Verizon Fios (long story).

Short of it—if you're in a home, DTV might be fine, but in apartments  
and condos, it's horrible.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
