Even if there are 100 HD channels on D* by year's end, are any of them (other than the ones I already have on Dish HD Gold) going to be ones I give a crap about? Not likely.

Yikes! The HR20 is THAT bad? I honestly haven't tried either (I've personally only used the old D* Tivo and the 622). But the chorus of complaints on this website leads me to believe they are both junk. Which one is worse is kinda like deciding whether a Big Mac or a Whopper is worse for...

Not to pour salt in everyone's wounds, but this all makes me SO glad I bit the bullet last year and traded up from D* to E*. I've been loving my 622 DVR and 30+ HD channels, and the E* CES announcements were very exciting. E* is already preparing to release an UPGRADED model of their best HD...

Whatever happens, it will be a while. Takes several months to launch, test, and turn over the bird to D*. Then they have to do their uplinks and test those. Then, finally, they send updates to all the tuners and go live. So it's not like they are going to activate a bunch of national HDs by...

billinmidmich, I'm with ya man! Just today I ordered Dish (VIP622 with HD Gold package), and once it arrives, I'm cancelling D* and never looking back. I've had my 50" DLP television for a year and a half now, and it's been BEGGING for HD! I'm tired of screwing arround with a UHF antenna for...

Why the heck is there no FOX in Sacramento? :confused: It's bad enough that we don't get UPN or WB. But I guess it doesn't really matter to me yet because I'm holding off on DirecTV's HD service until they come out with the new HD-DVR and they work out all the bugs. And then once they do...

Yes, I believe it is true. 720p is 60 frames per second progressive, while 1080 is 30 frames interlaced. 1080 provides double the resolution but at half the frame rate vs. 720. So ESPN went the higher framerate route to provide smoother broadcasts of sports programming. NBC recently...

D* had better get their s**t together quick, or they are going to fall behind and lose a lot of customers. :mad: The DVR is becoming an essential piece of hardware for a lot of people, and what's the sense of offering all these new HD local channels if you can't record them. Comcast offers an...

When I was having my dish installed, it started raining in the middle of the installation. He completed the work, but went very slowly because the ladder was wet and he was already scared of heights. Plus my roof is two stories up! :eek: I felt sorry for the guy.

Echoing what the others have said, choosing between DBS and cable is an incredibly complex issue. There's no strong leader out there right now. Every service has benefits and drawbacks, and this tends to be different in every region in the country. No matter what you choose, there will be...

Is SeriesLink basically the same as Season Pass, except for less reliable screening out of repeats? Is that the only drawback vs. TiVo Season Pass? Also, the other big issue I hear about is that, with the R15 it is harder to skip through commercials without overshooting. Is that true?

How many former TiVo users have switched to the R15 and are generally happy with it?

We've really become addicted to the Tivo and love the way it works. It is a big deal to us. Especially since the Comcast DVR seems to have reliability issues, not just a poor interface. The thing's gotta work right or else I'm not interested. I've already got an HTPC pulling OTA HD and it...

I'm moving this weekend and seriously debated whether we should stick with D* or switch to Comcast. I did a lot of research. It was a much more difficult decision than I thought it would be. After much deliberation, I decided to stick it out with D* for a while longer, even though that means...
