thanks dude, I have this and the Onkyo Pro version on order and can't get either been waiting over 6 weeks with no HT :mad: -Gary

one better, you can record 2 HD channels while watching a 3rd from the hard drive :) -Gary

how much did you get the 622's for ? I currently own a 942 myself and this sounds interesting -Gary

I never said SD from Dish, I said SD from a SDI modified DVD player and a 3,000$ DVDO VP50 scaler setup I think you missed my point, it was that if such a broadcast was on Dish (720x480 16:9 10Mbps Mpeg2) that majority of people couldn't tell a difference between that and the trash that Dish...

I am not the smartest guy in the world, but attacking me and my technical expertise is off base, shall you make me list my credentials and achievements, you want to take this down that road? ;) Color Space, where do I start, 1920x1080i has a chroma resolution of 960x540, DVD is 360x240, so...

no it's not all these providers and channels could be putting out broadcast quality 16:9 720x480 images at 10Mbps Mpeg2, Dish passing it thru untouched and it would look as good, no one could tell the difference and I would bet on it the point is that everyone is wasting their time...

I finally got to see some Mpeg4 HD from Dish, oh my lord :mad: I could have never imagined how bad it truly was, the sample I looked at was HGTV, it is 1440x1080i at...... 6.75 Mbps :eek: that is not a sick joke, this is less than DVD bitrates and picture quality that to be honest, is worse than...

same here -Gary

DVD's via a SDI modified DVD player into a DVDO VP50 scaler do in fact look better than HD-Lite and on a 8 foot wide CRT projection system at that, try it and you shall see, simple as that -Gary

watching HD is not for simply a better image, it is for a breathtaking image, if people only knew real HD, it is so sad yes, I would rather watch SD than downconverted garbage HD-Lite, that is the truth and that is just what I have done and are currently doing after Dish headed down it's...

yep and that is surprising news, I hope that the original untouched resolution is in the contract also, stuff like this spreads, HBO does it and then maybe Mark Cuban could do it for the HDNets and so on I could strangle Cuban for not doing it already, he has no excuse for not doing so long...

Hammer, HBO will be distributing their channels via 8Mbps Mpeg4, I think Dish could easily match that, but their staff shows a history of incompetence, their encodings/muxings are full of so many errors and issues that it is amazing they can keep their job and even worse no one at Dish seems to...

LOL :p -Gary

you win love your signature BTW :rolleyes: -Gary

I see the hd-lite apologists have made it to all corners of the earth :p everyone hasn't been viewing HD from Dish for just a couple years or is a newbie, I go way back as do many others who know what True HD is and it used to be a thing of beauty on Dish, whether anyone likes it now or...
