lol, of course it's good news, a slow painful death is always better than a fast painless one!

Hey this is more of a DISH board.

Read my lips, let me count the reasons, for DISH
1. The 622/722? 's rock, nuff said
2. D* does not have CONUS HD Locals
3. D* is kinda bad for moving (see 2), especially to Canada. I like my Chicago and LA HD Locals on DISH.
4. Hard drive archiving supported
5. I also love Monsters HD!!
6. Comcast is far behind where I live, Natl. Geo was promised long ago, Moto DVR's are so far behind, get real...
7. Better HBO, Showtime, HDNet, ESPN quality on DISH.

Rupert S*cks too!!!
GO DISH

Hey this is more of a DISH board. Read my lips, HR20's have NO OTA Scanning. D* does not have CONUS HD Locals. Kinda bad for moving, especially to Canada. I like my CHicago and LA HD Locals on DISH. I also love Monsters HD!! Rupert S*cks too!!! GO DISH

I guess you never saw channels 80, 81, 82, 84, 84, 85, 88, 89 on DirecTV. The east and west coast Network HD channels on full CONUS. So, the LA locals are in fact available anywhere in the U.S.

Ok let's see why D* is better then E*
1. More Local HD
2. More HD channels
3. More Premium HD channels
4. Better PQ in SD and HD
5. More Sports in HD

I need to get my sling link and get my HR20 online.

1. More Local HD --That doesn't matter in a top 20 market, you can only see 1 city....
2. More HD channels --OK, so you guys have Sci-fi HD, very slight advantage there...CNN-not much HD, TWC-Not much HD, USA?
3. More Premium HD channels --OK so a few. Wests would be nice.
4. Better PQ in SD and HD --Not on the old MPEG2 channels... SD? Nope
5. More Sports in HD -- Don't care about football & I *Move* for baseball.

OK slight adv. on 2 and 3. DISH has Monsters HD with Voom, which has much more HD content than cable channels listed in (2.), and a better DVR, the 622 scans OTA, regardless of where you've 'moved' and the 622 has External Hard drive support.
D* requires $200 for a HD-DVR, Plus a 2-yr. sub is required
HHmmm, close but no thanks D* ...

[Jason Whiddon]

Dude, why the frack are you even in the D* forum.

I really cant stand people that venture off the reservation and make posts that are going to further arguments.

All 5 of your points are OPINION

And we all know what opinions are like dont we?

[ScoBuck]

Ok - and none of this has to do with the launch of DirecTV-11 - so......

BACK ON TOPIC please, and thanks1
