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

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* ...

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?
