We've already got a DirectTv dish on our house and all the wiring done. Would be as simple as flipping a switch. One of the reasons I've stayed with Cox is because I thought I would miss out on local OU basketball broadcasts but hell now it seems the opposite is true.
I've had Directv for four years now, and I never miss any OU basketball broadcasts. However, you will lose the opportunity to watch Cardinals baseball. Didn't bother me any being a Padres fan and all. Just can't watch the Padres when they play those jerks from the Ozarks.
The only one of the sports channels that are really worth the money are ESPN Classic and NFL Network. The rest of the Sports Channels suck. 99% of ESPNU's programming is not watchable.
