I just switched back to D after five months with E. I like the fact that I get HD locals with D from Tampa where as they were not offered with E. E has many more HD channels, but I did not like the majority of them. The 622 was nice, but I found it to have too many steps to make in order to...

I am going to cancel my Dishnetwork contract and owe them a good chunk of change. I'm doing this because I have had many issues with their DVR. I have had the eintire content of it erased twice in five months due to my "hard drive being corrupted"...whatever that means. My remote skips channels...

Let me give you one more reason for the switch. I woke up this morning and turned on the tv, and a message came up and said my hard drive has been corrupted and everything will be deleted. Great. I can't wait to tell the old lady all the fitness shows and alike that she taped are history. Just...

I called D yesterday and they said they will give me the Total Choice Premiere at $99 a month with $20 off per month for six months. The HD package free for four months. The install will be $99 plus a $19 fee of some type. Not too bad, I'm just hoping to keep the E penalty below $300. I have...

For instance last night I called to cancel my locals as I get them via antenna. However, my guide does not give any description of programming any longer...simply states "Digital Service." Also, I cannot record anything from a digital channel and watch anything else on a digital channel. Little...

I know I'm going to get crushed $$ wise on the early termination of the 18 month commitment, but my wife hates E, and I am not crazy about various aspects of their equipment. I'm going to call DirecTV and find out what I can get as a former customer. I was with them for eight years before last...

I would drop them in a second.

I was with D for almost eight years and went with E about three months ago. The Hd content is better with E, but the equipment has been terrible. Half the time the remote will not work correctly and I constantly get check switch screens on my TV. When i check the switch, there is nothing wrong...

Mike, so far this has not helped, but i will continue to experiment. I will have to go through it step by step to see what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

Guys, this is probably something that can be fixed easily, but yours truly is having a tough time figuring it out.Here's the problem. While watching TV with the 622 DVR and I see something I want to record, I press the record button. No problem, as it starts to record. The problem is when I want...

I just switched to E from D yesterday after eight years with D. I have the HD Platinum package with locals. So far I think the PQ is beter with Dish. I have to get used to the 622 vs TiVo, but i's like anything new....you have to get used to it. D's utter lack of HD programing was the last straw.

Well guys, I ordered the Dish HD Platinum pack yesterday with locals and the HD DVR. They will be out Monday to install it. From what I've seen in the majority of the responces, I think I made a good chaoice. I live in the Tampa area, and can get the majority of my locals via OTA antenna, so...

Thanks guys. I woke up this morning and found a lot of good comments. It seems to confirm my feeling that Dish is the way to go. If you can add anything to this, please feel free. Thanks very much!

I have been a DirecTV subscriber for eight years. I am very turned off lately by their lack of HD content. I want to enjoy TiVo and HD. I am very close to going to Dish Network. I have Vonage phone service and the DirecTV HD TiVo. Does the Dish TiVo support OTA antennas and Vonage? What if any...
