Should I Switch To Satellite HDDVR

I currently use comcast for my HD service. I have had problems with the Motorola DVR they supply, mostly picture freeze up and sound freeze up only on the HD channels and recordings.
Comcast has switched out DVR boxes at least a dozen times, quickly and at no cost to me.
Comcast said that HDDVR's are fragile and can have many hard drive issues develope.
I have myself considering a switch to satellite ( Dish), but I am afraid I will just have the same type of problems with the HDDVR that Dish will supply. If I do, I fear the replacement will not be as easy or without cost.
Comcast has been to my house many times at no cost, satellite wants service charges.
So, can anyone advise if they have had problems with the Dish HDDVR, what happens if you need a new one, would you change to satellite for HD at all or just keep Comcast?
Is satellite for HD a better option than cable with Comcast.
