I don't even have Dish, I have DirecTV, but I have a Toshiba 62hm196 HD set which was advertised as 1080p. I have since learned since buying a PS3 to show blu ray discs that this TV is not true 1080p. It can only accept a 1080i signal and allegedly changes it to a 1080p picture. I suspect...
Bnewt & Skyhi, I would think the main reason for switching from Dish to DirecTV is the huge gap in HD programming offered. Dish will be stuck in the area of 70 HD channels because of the problems with their last satellite attempt. With DirecTV's successful launch, they will leap from 90 HD...
FIOS is not going to kick anyone's butt, let alone DirecTV, until they get their act together. Recently they have run out of receivers, then they tried to be slick and not give up the promised 19 in. HDTVs. Give me good ol; reliable DirecTV!!
Easy choice! DirecTV has left Dish and the cables in the dust when it comes to HD channels! If you have layed out your hard-earned cash for your HD equipment, then you want the most HD bang for your buck! DirecTV!!!!!
