Who do you think has superior pic quality standard digitial and HDTV dish or direct?

The sd quality varies greatly on Directv from channel to channel. I don't know about Dish. From what I have read the hd quality on Directv is a bit better than Dish, but if the programming on Dish is what you want, it is a better value, since they have an hd only package.

Really doesn't anyone use search anymore.
Also stop beating that dead horse.:eek:

Over all Dish has Better SD PQ then D*, It seems D* SD Channels Vary a lot anymore , Some are good others look way over compressed. My Guess the 101 is PACKED FULL.
HD TV D* wins IMHO.
Most of the HD channels look better then E* most of the time.
But at times E* has some better PQ then D*, But only like 20-30% of the time.

Completely agree with your PQ assessment. I just went back to E* after having a short (8 month) jaunt with D*. I couldn't handle the lack of responsiveness from the D* HD-DVR (HR-21 with AM-21). I am now happy again with my 722K.

Thinking about switching from CABLE (BRIGHT HOUSE) to DISH...will DISH provide INTERNET SERVICES as well

i don't think so. no........

Who is your local telephone company? If it happens to be CenturyTel or Frontier, or TDS, somebody like that, you could bundle Dish with your telephone, internet and DSL.

Dish network is TERRIBLE with providing internet service. Terrible I tell ya!!!!!!!

I cant even get it to work it is so bad:D

will DISH provide INTERNET SERVICES as wellDISH Network has a marketing agreement with WildBlue, but after you've had cable internet, you will not be impressed by the speed nor the pricing.

Wow D* has a problem response problem maybe they should fix that. I forgot there working on it. Maybe with a newer model DVR they may fix it!!! :rolleyes:
Just remember with D* when there is a problem just open your wallet to fix it!!:eek:

Rey, you're a troublemaker! ;) (but I agree with you!:devil:)

Guys its not my fault your beloved D* can't make a descent product or has picture quality problems (when over priced sports are on) .
I believe you guys have D-tv denial, you can get help for that.

If you knew me you wouldn't include me in that group.I could assume the same about you but don't since that would make me an ass. ;) Had dish for ten years and direct for 2. Wouldn't defend either. I say it like it is without sugar coating it. But I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions no matter how off they might be :eek: :D

You mean, steal a decent product, like DISH does.


GO TIVO.

That would explain why D* and tivo make such a great product together. :eek:

Glad that you agree that DISH stole TiVo technology.

:D:D:D:D:D

Atleast E* made something with the stolen TIVO goods.
D* made nothing but POS receivers while they were partners with Tivo.
Some things never change,

Care to explain? Are you saying the picture quality is compromised because "over priced sports are on"? Exactly what do you mean by that?

Care to explain? Are you saying the picture quality is compromised because "over priced sports are on"? Exactly what do you mean by that? Well maybe the over priced sports, (NFL ST):p
But I can't say that D* PQ and stability has ever been anything less then perfect.:up

I've said it before and I'll say it again. D* must save the bandwidth for the over priced sports packages cause when they are on the rest of the channels PQ suffers.

you conveniently ignored post#34. another member with less experience with dish than i have and more with directv than me so far, saying pic quality for D* has never been less than perfect. and neither hemi nor I are in love with D* or even going to bed with them.

Thank you Hemi.:rolleyes: who's arguing about the dvrs? many of us know that dish makes the best dvrs. we're talking PICTURE QUALITY.:confused:
check title of thread.

As opposed to cramming as many channels into limited capacity like DISH.

Well I tell you what from what I've seen thats not the case. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.
But every time time D* puts extra sports on it effect the picture on everything else. Seen it on several setups. So as far as I see it D* is only good for the over priced sports.
What I find priceless is being able to rub it to my friend who have paid twice as much as me for their tv's. :D
Keep it up D*. :up

I've had both D* and E* HDDVRs and would say that the picture is different on each, but one certainly isn't 'better' than the other. And the difference is slight.

I see in another thread that D* now has a new NR for the HRs. I don't know how they spell BETA test, but can't figure out how NR stands for it. :)

Rey, it always turns to a DVR argue fest. You should know that by now.

Ive said it before, D* has a slight edge in HD PQ still IMHO.

They still pull channels to service NFL Sunday Ticket.

You lose credibility when you post stuff like this. Argue the facts, not opinions. When Directv has "over priced sports packages" like Sunday Ticket on, they take down the necessary hd ppv channels. That's where the bandwidth comes from, not the other hd channels. They did take off TNT hd on Sundays for a year or two before D11 went up, but no more.

All the rest of us know that, but thanks for pointing it out. I was posting under the assumption that he hasnt see directv in a year or so based on his comments.

I remember reading about that now. I don't have the EI package, but I guess I would be upset if I lost any part of it. That doesn't have anything to do with picture quality though, like notme546 is claiming. He is just a little behind the times!

Thats funny cause I seen it a lot in the last baseball season on a nice big LED TV.

What channels?

Personally, I have noticed from time to time some channels live sports just arent that good. This is not provider specific, it is simply the channel.

It was a few but USA, TNT are the only two that come to mind right now.
But it was only when they had extra sports on and I never had that problem with D*.
If it was the user he would have the same problem on the sports which he doesn't. My friend with the LED TV just watches sports so he doesn't care but if you ask he will tell you about it.
I say it again the sports look great I never had anything bad to say about that.

AS far as the best picture for sports a friend who has the NFL package says ESPN has the best HD picture.

It was a few but USA, TNT are the only two that come to mind right now.

TNT-HD was the channel, besides PPV's, that were shut down to make bandwidth available for NFL-ST. Even before HD came along DirecTV shut down SD PPV channels to make bandwidth available. USA-HD (or sd) were never shut down to make room for any other programming, you're mind is not remembering correctly.

This was baseball season not football. I also never said they where shut down, they just had PQ problems.
In fact it was a night when the Yankees where playing.

Sorry, my mistake.

This is suprising. Most will say that often times ESPN is towards the bottom when it comes to sports HD PQ.

I know compared to the NFL ST package, any time ive watched it, there is no comparison. Sunday Ticket in HD wins hands down. Its among the best HD available from what I have seen.

I don't know I never compared them. But I do know he has a 8 year old plasma with a real nice picture.
But the ESPN is what I hear from him all time.

My main problem with ESPN is that their PQ can vary so darn much.

Sometimes its pretty good, and then the next game will look like crap.
