If you only have 1 or 2 TVs in your house, then yes, DirecTV will probably be cheaper than Charter. More than 2 TVs, however, and it's not so clear, as DirecTV charges $5/receiver/month for additional receivers. My parents and my in-laws both have 5 TVs at their houses. They'd be paying DirecTV an additional $20/month for receivers where they currently pay nothing for analog expanded basic service.
To answer the original question, I've had both Charter HD and Uverse HD. I like the HD picture on Charter better -- the picture on Uverse was very dark, so anything with dimly lit scenes was very hard to watch. I've since found out there was some sort of buried setting we could have tweaked on the Uverse receiver that may have fixed the issue, but my wife hated Uverse (the DVR was terrible ... crashed, wasn't user-friendly, lacked basic functionality/features), so we switched back to Charter and got an HD Tivo. I liked the HD lineup on Uverse a lot better though. Charter's HD lineup is pathetic.
Charter also charges $5 a receiver if you get HD, And charter charges an extra $15 for each dvr.
