    DBS vs Cband/Ku

    not all content looks stretched, I can't stand blackbars, even with the blackbars you can still see the digital compression and it's pretty bad.

My grandpa was a rich man and he had one of those huge dishes in his back yard, we always called it a spider web because thats what it looked like with a huge pointer thing. It was black and transluscent not sure who his provider...
