My plan is to switch back and forth from DirecTV to Comcast every couple years.

Different companies, same headache.

Moneywise, trying to save a few hundred a year, by switching back and forth.

I had Comcast for 12 years, for TV. Switched to DirecTV for the last couple years, not very impressed. Will switch back, for 2 years. We don't watch much TV, honestly.

My biggest gripe for DTV is their GUI, very slow. Maybe I'm just impatient.
