The best place to research audio/video equipment is avsforum.com. I spent hundreds of hours reading there before buying my tv and srereo. The best value in speakers are the brands that sell mail order direct. Check out Ascend Acoustics, Axiom, Athena, and AV123. They all sell high quality...

I'm surprised you don't have Verizon there yet. We've had it here in Redondo for 6 months. It's $5 a month for each box. If you can afford MB that's nothin.:o

Sorry for the confusion. I subscribe only to premier which includes the sports pack. No CI here. They are showing a 2006 playoff game in HD right now. I watch too much football and didn't even realize I had that channel. Thanks. Wikipedia says nhl channel is part of the choice package so I don't...

I get NHLHD 215 with the sports pack. Center Ice gets you most of the regional games also.

It's not Dish. It's bad on Directv and TW cable also. Granted they are all compressing their HD signals more than we like but this is TNT's fault. All their shows are crap video quality. Most of their shows are SD stretched.

Thanks for the advice and I totally agree with you. I don't watch live tv so the performance of the dvr is critical to me. The installer is running the 9th and 10th cable to my living room right now. He freaked out when he saw my setup. That is my next project, figuring out how to get these RC34...

Thanks for the comparison HC & others. I have D* for the football like most people but Time Warner and Verizon FIOS are both new options here and are hounding me with great offers. Very tempting. My bill with premier, HD, locals and 5 HR20's is more expensive but you have convinced me that for...

I admit I was wrong. That S09 spotbeam covers both those cities easily. Does that provide all the channels he needs though? I was right about that link (maybe). Does it offend regulars here to call out the other site? Thanks for the correction stuart.

Mapquest says 284 miles to Pittsburgh. I doubt you can transfer your local location that far. Move back! Just kidding. D* and lots of money it is. If no east coast experts show up here post this at dbstalk.com.

On the surface Dish has more HD (the 15 Voom channels) than Directv. That's why I originally went with them. But there is very little NEW content on those channels. They get old fast. Directv is scheduled to put up more satellites (bandwidth) in the next year than Dish. This is very important...

I own mine ($700). The other guy has the lease.

Direct doesn't want anything to do with tivo boxes anymore but if you sell that box you just made an enemy. Directv said they won't transfer it and they meant it. Send it back or run some more wires and use it. I own mine and I still don't want to sell it. I would love to trade it in. Obsolete...

I prefer Directv to Dish but the Dish receivers are designed for 2 rooms each. They usually only want to lease 2 boxes to each account though. Maybe do the other 2 rooms with Comcast? $$$

Dish Network isn't that great for HD. Directv is better and cheaper. I had both until yesterday. $60 for internet? Wow! I pay $20 for slow DSL. I agree stay with cable and add D* this fall for new HD channels and NFL Sunday Ticket/Superfan. It's getting expensive to get the sports we want to watch.

Everybody leases now. Don't sweat it. I have 3 HR20's and love them now. No more lockups! In fact I'm trying to get rid of my HR10. I just had Dish for 1.5 years all HD DVR and just shipped 2 VIP622's back today. D* is cheaper and better. Get with retention department, threaten to switch and get...
