My son installs DirecTV down in Burlington County. He knows a lot of different areas and whether someone can actually get DTV without problems. Some towns have a lot of trees, and this time of the year you may get a signal, but come spring, you may not. My son tries to be honest with people. If he knows they are in an area where they won't get it in anything other then winter, he tells them.
Do you see neighbors with dishes? If not, you may want to give it a shot and call anyway. Let them come out. My son has a tool that he uses to see the satelite, and someone coming out to your house should be able to tell you if there will be problems. If they tell you it is ok and something doesn't feel right, as for a supervisor to come out.
We have neighbors that have it... embarrassed to say we do not. There have been the times when they were getting basic (IIRC) but due to the time of year, the dish had to be realigned. Other then that, they've been very happy with it.
We're going to be moving to a new house in a few months. We've had so many issues with Comcast this year that when we move we're most likely going with DirecTV. My son gets some bennies, so we're going to take advantage of it finally. I hope they have Verizon FIOS in the area for internet, I've heard great things about it.
If you have any specific questions, send me a DM. If you would like to speak to my son about any questions you have, I can give you his email addy, I'm sure he'd be glad to help.

We had ADT years ago. ADT works with DirecTV in this area. Personally, we like Guardian. We had ADT for about a year, guess the contract expired.. but Guardian called, then came out. When they came out, they found out the system was not hooked up right, something to do with being tied to the phone line.
Guardian has been great. If there is a low backup battery, they call to let us know. If power goes out, they call. They've also called my cell if there is no answer at the house. I highly recommend them. ADT never did any of this.
Now, it's been a few years since we had ADT, so who knows, maybe it was specific to who installed...
