    Disappointed with the receiver I got on the install.

    There is too much TV to choose from nowadays. I can stream on Netflix, rent 1080p's on Vudo and timeshift off air channels on my HTPC and watch satellite. I thought I would cut down some of my choices by skipping the DVR.

    Disappointed with the receiver I got on the install.

    I'm disappointed it's not the lastest and sleekest and I'm starting a two year lease on a 2007 receiver. Doesn't look good next to my 3D TV and Harmon/Kardon receiver. What is SWM? Can I just buy the newer receiver and give D back this one. I know it's still a lease. I only have one TV hooked up.

    Anyone else just get local guide data?

    I just got guide information for my local off the air stations. Does anyone know the story behind this. Did Dish change their policy? I thought guide data was only available if you subscribed to local's from Dish. I like it. It's going to be a lot easier to record now.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I called again for the third time and this CSR was able to make the change. I don't blame the CSR's for not getting it right the first and second time. I'm sure they are misinformed from higher up managers or not trained right. The only SD I did watch was CNBC and fox news.

    HD DVD Will win and this is why:

    I think the porn industry is going with HD DVD because of lower cost and ease of manufacturing.

    So what do you think of your $98 HD DVD player?

    I wouldn't of bought a HD DVD player this soon if it wasn't for the price. I have HD from Dish and off the air, but the quality of the picture impresses me. The thing I didn't expect is the sound. The sound coming from my 5 channel Harmon/Kardon never sounded so good. I'm very happy with it.:D

    Plasma vs CRT RPTV

    1080p JVC DILA or Sony are about the same price as a 720 plasma. I like the JVC and Sony but it seems like everybody is pushing plasma. I'm going to wait another month or so longer. Does standard def. look worse on a plasma?
