We have Dish Network (and have for 4 years now) and absolutely love it. NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM since we've had it. Never lost reception (although we do live in Ca and 'storms' aren't really a problem here) and love our DVR. (And with the DVR that came with our dish, we can record 3 programs at the same time!) I wouldn't be able to live without it now. I love not having to watch commercials anymore. We get something like 700 channels (all the movie channels as well) and pay something like $150/month for it. Sooo worth it.
