When I used OTA I thought they were broadcasting in 720P? But still HD over OTA looks way better than overly compressed satellite HD from what I remember. And Blu Ray should be the standard that the satellite companys should be shooting for, but next pipe dream please! I have seen movies on D*...

Yes for sure you would lose several channels, but my gain of some channels (1 being Smithsonian) offset my loss. Plus the HD looks better, not as soft as E*s. The other "loss" were the Sirius and other music channels! D*s music channels are "ok". Not to mention I'm saving nearly $45. a month on...

Our transition to Direct TV was for the most part, flawless. Dish wanted to do NOTHING to keep me as a customer and they certainly didn't say anything about loosing the Absoulute HD pkg. Jeff

I just switched to Direct TV on the 1st of December. D's HD is way better than Dish's. On Dish The O'Rielly Factor was very soft. So was the network football games. On Direct O'Rielly looks more HD like. Don't watch much of Sci Fi anymore, so I can't compare. I can say that I dropped my bill by...

What goes around comes around. That's what they get for getting rid of VOOM and real HD, to give us the ratings bonanza of the World Fishing Network. Jeff

What channels do you watch where you get 5 mins of show?:D Have had D for 3 days now and don't seem to notice any commercials that are loud...yet! Nothing like when I had dish! Jeff

Maybe VOOM will come back and buy them out!! What did Kahn say..."Vengence is a dish best served cold!" Jeff

Agree with this statement. They will start losing more and more customers, especially the way they seemed not to care about keeping me. Not a sports fan but with the VOOM debacle and then Smithsonian Channel and replace several good HD channels with a fishing network and ANOTHER crime channel...

I fortunatly did not upgrade any services or eq. I am leaving Dish for D. I have been a customer for 6yrs and when I asked about lowering my bill they told me if I wanted to lower my bill I would have to drop programming and then pay $100 to get an upgrade to a DVR. I either got a dumb CSA or...

Do us a favor...take a Midol. If you don't like a question then don't answer it angerly. There is no such thing as a dumb question in any audio/video forum. Jeff

I asked Dish to credit my bill and they offered me HDNET in place of the lost channels. AWESOME!!! But I already have the channel...in three different places in the channel grid..very nice... Jeff

I e-mailed Dish and they claim FOX wants a 50% increase in fees. I asked for a credit for channels I'm not receiving any more, they told me they would give me 15 sports networks for free. AWESOME!!! I'm not a sports fan!! Jeff

Plus 1 on a la carte! And why replace the Smithsonian Channel with a fishing channel, which is what E did. You take off a quality channel and replace it with crap it's not something to write home about. I really don't care about the sports channels, but I do care about NatGeo and Fox. Which by...

I miss VOOM for sure, even though they didn't offer ala carte, who knows what would have been offered had they survived. I'm no expert on economics but if ala carte worked with C-Band it can work with the small dish. And before anyone says it, I left C-Band because the cost to upgrade to digital...

You Dish and DTV folks don't get it. C-Band had packages you were able to subscribe to..at a WAY lower cost per channel. Then we were able to add channels we wanted that were not included in the package WITHOUT making us pay more for a package we didn't want just to get channels we watch. The...

Happened to us as well, except I hit the guide button to look up a channel. The next month the charge was there for $40. for something I didn't order. They did credit us though. Jeff

Which means exactly what falkor is saying. Ala carte worked with C-Band and it was great. Those who live in big citys have Cable and are clueless about what REAL satellite tv was and still is. It was fun to see in the paper or in the news that Cable was raising rates again because of rising...

No, it has nothing to do with being a dip. It has EVERYTHING to do with standing up for what YOU believe in. Maybe a $140. a month sub means nothing to E* but add all the subs they lose and it does add up. I'm next btw! Jeff

I disagree, not rude. Ok everyone, just lie down and become jello and let big corps walk all over you! I called E* about their commercial running up to 30 seconds into The O'Rielly Factor and I told THEM how I felt. All we get from them is the standard BS reply. I didn't let them off the hook...

Maybe, just maybe PQ is better on D*!? I will throw my 2 cents in when I switch also. Jeff

The reps are in India or whatever country and have outdated info. That's a fact. The customer service rep didn't lie, she just misstated something she was told. Maybe in India or where ever FedEx does deliver on Sunday, they don't have "weekends" as we know it do they? Jeff

I have seen the same problem. The network goes into a hard break and Dish runs their commercial about 10 secs to long (estimate). But to be honest I haven't watched since last Tuesday because of personel issues so I don't know if they are still doing it. Jeff

FedEx does not deliver on Sundays anymore. They stopped that years ago. The problem here lies in the fact that E*s customer service didn't talk to FedEx's customer service just down the hall in the same building in India. John & Suzi in India have no clue what they are talking about, or what is...

JWGreen68, I really don't give a crap what corp you work for. And no, I don't think so. I will not move on but you really need to relax just a tad. I don't need you attacking me for my opinion on big corps and defending the original poster from the likes of someone like you. Jeff

Whimike has got it right! Don't you folks get it? Are you not tired like I am and Whimike of being walked on by big corps? Staying status quo might make life easier but then the big corps will keep screwing us. Good for you Whimike! And btw, a big welcome to the forums! Jeff
