DISH vs DirecTV I too was worried about the switch to Direct because I had heard such negative things about Direct equipment. None of it was true. I have three HR-24's set up in a Whole Home System. It works flawlessly. I just added a Direct-Cinema connection kit primarily to provide...

NBC Dropouts In my market, we have NBC audio drop outs, and the picture often freezes. It is only on the NBC affiliate, and it happens on all my receivers. I am in the Traverse City/Cadillac Michigan market....a HD local into local market.

With the rumored drastic price reduction in HDTV's for this holiday season, I believe that a lot of people are going to have their entire house swapped out with HD screens soon. DISH really needs to recognize the attractiveness of the DirecTV Whole House DVR system...and get the sling extender...

FSN Detroit HD FSN has been promoting the fact that they are a 24/7 HD channnel now. I wonder if they turned off the SD feed. That would mean all games that they show in HD that DISH doesn't carry in HD will be like that. I nearly dropped *E for *D because of them not carrying HD games in...
