I would agree. Thats why I have direc tv as well. However, i have had Att for 2 weeks. The HD is just as good as dish. As far as HD channels, well, they are not there yet.

They do have kinks to work out in my area. No contract, so, what the heck. Im giving it a free spin.

So far so good.

Im not sure id say better that the satelite systems yet-but there is a ton of potential.

I just got U-Verse. I dropped Dish for it. Dish was getting expensive. I got internet, phone and TV for the price of my Dish account. DISH nickled and Dimed me. The HD PQ ( IMHO) is as good as DISH. I do not like the DVR at all. Overall, I do like it. More HD is on the way as they have to compete...... I heard the same rumor about VOOM to..

I'm leaning towards doing something alomg the lines of what you are doing. I'm going to keep DISH for the time being on my two upstairs tv's that are run by the VIP622, a marvelous machine. I have a 222 on my family room tv. I may try ATT UVERSE on that now that it is available in my neighborhood with no contract.

Thats a great idea. Att is running a real nice promotion right now. Its a no brainer to just try the service.
1 month free service and 200 bucks back. No contract..what could be better?

I do agree with you about the 622. Best DVR\Along with the 722 on the market. Basically same machine bigger hard drive.

Att is still not functioning properly right now. I have had a slew of techs tring to fix it.
Once they get it right it will be a real nice system. However, im not saying good bye to satelite right now.

Not sold yet on Att. But if they get Voom, im locked into it!!!

As much as I dislike the idea of being dependent on Ma Bell I'm so tired of the never ending conflicts with Dish. So without Voom, Dish is not worth the headaches and uncertainties.

I've begun the process with Uverse. Scheduled for next Tuesday. There will be some overlap with Dish as a fall back but my hopes are by the following Thursday I can turn off Dish.

We'll get all the programming HD and SD that we watch. (post Voom) Looking forward to a company with a positive attitude. Hopefully one with Voom and Whole House Dvr in the near future.

Went through the early days of Voom DBS and know what new technology is like. No problem. It's funny it's taken Dish all this time to do what Voom DBS was built to do since day one.
