Can't speak for Battlestar yet as the only HD feed I have seen is on Universal HD, but Atlantis looks great! The details are crisp and there is an obvious improvement in color, detail, and overall image quality over the SD which should be pretty obvious. The fabric detail on the uniforms is...

I've had a trouble free experience with my D* receiver so far. Pretty much the same thing when I had my 622, except for that time when their software release caused HD corruption and we got messages saying our HD needed to be reformatted. Didn't bother me too much since I just did a reset and...

...shops usually have great installers, you should know you worked for one! You really are taking these comments way too personally. As far as the E* only needs one line reply, you really should read what I said carefully because you said exactly what I did. There is one line going in and...

You really should keep up with changes, if you do install D*. Then again I don't expect much from installers. Oh how I miss the days when our high end HT shops installers would do the installs. The good ol' days those were.

That depends if you have that Dish 1000 (could be wrong on the name) then you don't have two dishes. Some of us had the Dish 500 with another dish for 61.5 so we can get our HD channels. Most of wiring should be outside for both dishes and only the actual lines going to the reciever should be...

That depends on whether he gets a SWM slimline or a standard slimline. The SWM would only run ONE line from the dish into the home. That line is then split using a splitter thats rated for 2000MHz to distribute to the rest of the home. So if he is lucky to get that then the install would be...

Wouldn't that violate some agreement? What happens if your unit goes bad and D* needs to replace it? without the old HD to put back in there you just lost your investment and may even be charged for the receiver if D* finds out since someone did tamper with their equipment.

..."yes, sir we don't have as many channels, but we are working on getting more" I may have stayed a little longer. As of Feb 4th I went back to D*. Previously I was with D* for about 10 or so years. I can't believe some of you guys keep getting calls. Has anyone asked them to stop calling? If...

...customer service gave me the nudge i needed. Gotta love rude CSR people that think they know everything. That and I got a really good deal with D*. I got the HD-DVR for free plus the $20 a month credit, free HD pack for a year and such. So I jumped ship and am happy. There are some minor...

lol good catch. I didn't notice it.

...its a sat. provider. Who cares who leaves and stays. Everyone has a choice and needs to do whats best for them. Why should they stay with E* if its not convinient for them. This whole sch peel about how E* has the best equipment and Voom and all this is stupid. That may apply to you, but not...

...yes, much much more. Down rezzed HD that looks like crap now, StarzHD with a soft picture and best of all no new HD channels. Gotta love the "Plus much more" Regardless I would recommend to anyone to get an OTA antenna for their locals. The PQ will be better than anything D* or E* can put out.

I got SciFi HD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow after such a long wait, finally! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Good thing I switched to D*. ;)

You mean the other site that is pretty much an E* fanboy site? :)

Wow just wow. Film has grain and will always have grain. I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell people that don't like OAR in movies. If you don't like it then don't watch it. The director intended for the movie to looks this way and if you can't appreciate it then don't bother with it.

Saw a few break ups in dexter. Not surprised considering how bad SHO looks now.

Most of our channels are not "real HD." Did you forget that a lot of those D* channles E* has and they are in strecth-o-vision. You may want to wait and thats fine, but others don't. Fact is "Real HD" hasn't been around for some time now. The only "real HD" you will get will be from OTA channels...

Wow someone needs to feel special! Nothing beats taking time out of your day to post asinine comments. :D

...ever seen! What the hell are they thinking!?!?! No free content and No HD and I have to wait for it to fully download before viewing. I have to give D* credit for doing their VOD right. Not only do they have free content and HD but after 30-60 seconds you can VIEW IT! Dish the new DirecTV!

I went through the menu on my receiver and for the life of me can't find any free content or HD. Am I missing something?

...in your head? Seriously there is a difference on some displays it may not be as noticeable on others it is very noticeable. I easily noticed when E* lowered the res on HDNET and HDNET movies and a few days later came to the forums and found confirmation. Perhaps you may not see it, but there...

The resolution that the channel is actually in. For example let's use HDNET. Its resolution is 1920x1080 and should be presented at that resolution not 1440x1080 or 1280x1080 like E* and D* do. Understand now?

I just want my SCIFI-HD and better PQ.

Very True and I have never understood why anyone would use that argument. I do agree though that the number of PPV can be brought down a bit to add these numbers. Also do we really need so many versions of Big Ten? I'm not a sports guys so I don't know nor care for it, which is why I am asking...

I second that! If I switch it will be based on who has the better PQ. Lets face it most of these new HD channels we won't watch. The more important factor should be Picture Quality and NOT the number of HD channels offered. I'm holding out for the month in hopes that I see the PQ restored to...
