Right, but the pasty, oversmoothed skintones he is describing could be a calibration issue.

I would agree with tvropro, try some basic calibration of your own, though maybe not on the input you paid for. See if you can't get some more realistic skintones and better sharpness.

The thing that kind of stands out for me is ISF calibrated display. As I understand, the calibrator would have calibrated the TV for a particular source on a particular input, making it look as good as possible. The problem is you now have a different source feeding that input. That could...

I made it very clear to D* that if the installer showed up with anything but HR24s he would not be installing. Now, if I wasn't informed, then I would have not known the difference, but if you know what you want, you can always refuse the install until you get what you want. I agree though...

The HR24 is easily fast enough to claim parity with the Dish boxes. While I believe the new 922 is still faster, in everyday use the HR24 is to the point where speed no longer really matters. This was the biggest hurdle for me when switching to DirecTV and one of the reasons I initially went...

Here is what I got about a week and a half ago: $29 off 1st yr/ $14 off 2nd year $10 off for 20 months AAA discount Free HD for Life Tried to stack the referral credit, but was unable to. All in all, I am really happy with the deal I got and made the switch from Dish a no brainer.

AMC HD, and fast! Mad Men is just around the corner!

I just made a very similar switch as you did. I was with Dish for 22 months and have been with DirecTV now for a week and a half. I must say, I agree with most of what you say. My only disputes would be with the guides. Many people said the guide would be the hardest thing to give up from Dish...

Funny, I did almost the exact same thing this morning! Except no Bing cash back because I wanted the AAA discount. Now to see if I get HR-24s tomorrow or not.

Thanks for the quick responses! I am thinking I want two DVRs to be sure that there will not be any conflicts. Will the MRV work for both? Or is it more an option of MRV with one DVR or two DVR and no MRV? Also, I am a AAA member and they have a discount on top of the nationally advertised...

I am a current Dish Network subscriber and am close to making the switch to DirecTV. It seems like with the HR-24, DirecTV has caught up with the Dish equipment, especially speedwise which is important to me. I also would love to have the MRV. So I have a couple of questions. First, should I...
