Going HD - Should I dump DirectTV?


I am about to make the leap to HD with a plasma. It seems that cable options are better for HD, with just as much programming plus the locals without having to go through the hassle of an over-the-air antenna. The only sports package I get is the MLB extra innings, which is also available via cable. I have seen a couple of threads on the AVS forum about DirectTV adding satelites, requiring a bigger additional dish, etc. The only thing I am unsure about is Tivo. Is Tivo available for non HD on cable? It seems like cable is a better option for HD right now? Any help is appreciated.

I beleive the new Direct TV HD/PVR has two tuners, and is out for ~$1000...watch the sales, a friend of mine talk the local dealer to $850 per if he bought two.

I live and Florida and while I still have cable and HD, we all seem to have issues with cable handling the bandwidth, and the picture can frequently pixleize (SP?) YMMV
