It's not Dish. It's bad on Directv and TW cable also. Granted they are all compressing their HD signals more than we like but this is TNT's fault. All their shows are crap video quality. Most of their shows are SD stretched.

I admit I was wrong. That S09 spotbeam covers both those cities easily. Does that provide all the channels he needs though? I was right about that link (maybe). Does it offend regulars here to call out the other site? Thanks for the correction stuart.

Mapquest says 284 miles to Pittsburgh. I doubt you can transfer your local location that far. Move back! Just kidding. D* and lots of money it is. If no east coast experts show up here post this at dbstalk.com.

I originally picked Dish over Directv because of Voom. Big Mistake.

I'm guessing LA and NY.

Odds are the install damaged the wires that caused the fire. Damn. When they drill through my walls I cringe.

You're right. He made 2 mistakes but the 522 not doing HD properly was the bigger one. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt with hitting a 5 instead of a 6. He is boasting on another thread about the 522 not doing HD correctly (so he left). He is in for a rude awakening if he...

Schwing, Wake up. It's now 2007. These guys are all making fun of you because D* is having massive problems with their HD dvr (hr20-700). The E* 622 is working much better. Trust me. I have both. No comparison.

If you want NFL package you have to get Directv, not Dish Network. The season just ended 8 hours ago though. Both D* and E* have NBA season pass. Some people have commented that Directv has better looking SD than Dish also. I have both but watch almost all HD. What SD I do watch (Speed Channel...

Were you watching the cable SD box on an HDTV? SD looks better on an old tv. Not all SD looks the same but it never looks as good as HD. The best HD quality is OTA (over the air antenna). Everybody else compresses most of their HD content but not every show is compressed the same amount. If...

My opinions and facts after lots of research. NFLST/SF is now over for the season. CBS did 3 games in HD each week all season. FOX did 6 in HD every week. All NBC, NFL Network and playoff games are in HD. NBC uses the most compression (worst video quality). 720P is generally better for fast...

These threads are slow. Especially on new years eve. Whats your hurry? Give it a few days and make an informed decision. I don't have the dish 1000 yet but it is oval shape instead of round. Do you need exact dimensions? SD will never look as good as HD. That's why it's called HD. The cable...

I hope you were joking.:rolleyes:

D* and E* are both promising lots of new hd channels soon. Crap shoot. They have no bandwidth available at this time.

Nope, Promised for december. Can't wait. They haven't updated the software on my hd dvr for months. Waiting for cure of audio breakups also.

I just tried to get HD channels only and they said no. What color is HD only? But if I understand the new pricing as of feb 07 HD only will be available. Can anybody confirm this?

I'm on the waiting list too. It doesn't look like they addressed your local channel situation at all. I prefer commercial skip of the 622 over the HR20 but my audio breaks up some. The 622 also shows amount of recording space available better also. They are both very nice though.

Yes I paid a trade-up from 2 942's, but like I said I don't remember how much. Sorry. I also have D* with 2 of their tivos and an hr20 coming next week. The costs start to just run together. Yes they are expensive compared to cable but I don't watch live tv any more and the cable here sucks.

I am leasing 2 VIP622 DVR's . I can't remember what trade-up price was.

The Dish remote has a dedicated 30 second skip. The Directivo (HR10-250) has a jump to end of show button (why?) that can be programmed to 30 second skip. The new Directv DVR's (R15-500 SD & HR20-700 HD) both have a 30 second slip (approx. 6x fast forward) instead to force you to view the...
