That is a huge difference to me (the fact that both the internal and external drives work at the same time). I've used the D* receivers too and in my opinion they are nothing compared to the E* receivers.

Same can be said about you. I have seen the compressed HD that E puts out so they need the additional satellites.

Huh????

I am not even going to explain why what you said makes no sense.

IIRC, it was DirecTV that got sued for HD Lite.

Cohen v. Directv

Boy if I wanted to make rude comment here you just left the door wide open. Don't know when you saw this but sounds like wasn't in a side by side test.

Not to come to anyone defense here. But I think what we meant to say was that will more capacity they might spread the channels out and increase the bandwidth. Problem is that's not what they do. To maximize profits, other sats will just be sucked up with more useless programming. Transponders are just too expensive to waste.

I won't be getting the Sling until probably next summer anyway when I can get out of my phone contract. I don't see much point in getting Sling if I can't watch it on my current phone.

Hope the rumor comes true!

I would love to agree with you totally,
But I'll get in trouble if I do.

I just moved to Directv mainly for NFL. Love the MRV.....can watch DVR content in other rooms in full HD....I couldn't do that on Dish.

Got to say the guide is no where near as user friendly though.
