Our local TWC system in Austin, Texas already has Cinemax HD and StarzHD being offered. We have had them for a few weeks now.

Well, I also switched from E* about 3 months ago and since then, TWC here in Austin has added Boom and after the Winter Olyimpics left Universal HD on a permanent basis. Now if they could just add ESPN 2 HD in time for the World Cup in June I will be extremely happy.

I alsao made the switch from Dish about 3 months ago after being a customer for 7 years and I couldn't be happier. Have not looked back!

I don't know what Cox uses. What my TWC uses is the SA 8300HD. My 2 DVRs have been very stable, have not crashed a single time in the 30+ days I have had them and have not missed a single recording. I am recording 2-3 programs a day. I never had Dish's DVR so I can't compare them to the...

That is right. You have to pay full price for it. So the best scenario for you would be to sell your 942 on Ebay and then use that money to buy your 622 if you want to own it.

In the case of my local TWC, the grasp is no longer there and in my opinion, they are now behind cable. I left Dish about a month ago after being a loyal Dish customer since 1998 and I could not be happier with my decision. Picture quality in my local TWC is much better than Dish's, I now...

It definitely means better picture. I am in Austin, recently switched back from Dish to TWC and I can tell you that the picture quality is great.

You are totally right that it varies by individual cable company. I am now with TWC here locally so it varies by town even with the same company. But in my case is amazing how much better the picture quality is, especially on the non-HD channels. See many companies have upgraded their...

Mike, That is not true. I just left Dish and my bill is a total of $83.00 including all taxes and DVR fees for the following: All digital channels, HBO and Showtime including their HD feeds, All network HD signals, iNHD1, inHD2, HDNet and HDNet Movies, Universal HD, ESPN HD, TNT HD...

Tom, That probably means that you really enjoy and watch the VOOM channels and that puts in the category of customers that will choose Dish over cable or DTV. I, on the other hand could not care at all for the VOOM programming. I had the original offering for 2 months and did not watch a...

And you guys are not even counting the price you are paying for the right to lease the hardware which should be counted in the equation. Say you are upgrading to the 622 for $300.00. If you amortize that over 3 years, it is an extra $8.00 a month! You really have to do if you want to compare...

Hey Daniel, Read my post from a couple of weeks ago: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=55861 You don't know how much better the picture quality is with my local TWC, especially the non-HD Channels. My locals picture and some of the non-HD Channels picture quality was not...

With all these recent discussions regarding upgrading/buying/spending $$ on new equipment, I wanted to throw the following for discussion: The customers in the following list clearly have Dish as their best choice and in my opinion have no choice but invest on hardware: • If you are in an...

I am selling mine right now. The auction closes tonight and I can't believe the bidding is up to $385.00. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dish-Network-6000-HD-Receiver-w-8VSB-8PSK_W0QQitemZ5868408068QQcategoryZ67893QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi Bucknut, I made the jump from Dish to TWC last week and very happy about my decision. Especially with the nice deal I am getting for 12 months. Call your local TWC and see if they have the special for Satellite subscribers. In my case, I am getting all digital channels, HBO, Showtime...

If you account for this plus my point above, in the majority of cases Dish is more expensive than cable on most systems. That is the case where I live.

Regardless if you got your upgrade 942 for a $250 to lease or bought it for $600-700, I think that you guys are getting shafted by Dish. Depending on when you got it, divide the amount per the number of months you had the 942 and in a sense that is how much more per month you were paying...

Actually is a CD and I take take care of my cds, so no scratches on it.:)

Thanks Zookster. I may be adding an external Hard Drive myself in the next few days myself. Having a DVR is really great. I am loving it. I strongly recommend it, whether you are staying with Dish or moving to DTV or cable. I can't believe I waited this long for one. Mario.

It depends on your local TWC but on mine, you can't. You have to get the standard cable to be able to get the HD tier. The HD tier is 10.00 and with the standard you get TNTHD, Discovery HD and your local HD channels.

Hi Scott, In my case for example my wife loves to watch HGTV and that channel is found on the analog feed (31) and digital feed (201) In this case the 201 looks better than than Dish's. The Analog (31) is about the same. That is the case for the channels that are found on both and the...
