Sorry, don't agree. I've done enough DirecTV to Dish conversions and have seen side-by-side and before/after comparisons. I don't see much difference at all .On SD receivers, I give a slight nod to Dish. With HD, I can't see a difference until the TV gets larger that 50 inches, then Direct gets the nod.

well maybe its because im young, dumb, and full of crumbs, i can see a little better.
all i know is the 2 short months i had dish, they have a little dial in the uplink room, and when there is a big boxing match, all the quailty goes to them.
ppv's on directv look like movie quailty

There isn't any discernible difference in HD either, at least on the national channels. Originally Posted by Iceberg I've seen both side by side and there is no difference in SD

D* has better PQ on the HD locals, of that much I'm sure.
This forum is chock full of comparative analysis from over the years...
