If your going to go with Charter for hd as well as internet, or at&t internet as wel as tv, you may as well send me that extra money.
Thats a very generic assumption you have that DirectTV is somehow magically loads cheaper than any of the alternatives... Everytime I look into Dish or DirectTV I can never get an offer that beats anything I pay at Charter.... It all depends on what services you have, and what channels you need on who has the better buy. Now if I wanted Multiple DVRs I do know that is something that Charter basically tries to discourage based on how much they charge for each DVR box you desire. But for my needs, nobody beats Charters pricing.
And for the Ops original question I have yet to see the two side by side... I have a feeling that Charters HD probably is going to be a higher bit rate than AT&T only based on the fact that AT&T is squeezing everything in such a little pipe. But this is just a guess, and I would bet that the majority of people couldn't tell a difference between any provider.
