    HR20 Resets

    Mine has reset 3 times in the last week or two. From what I have been told, this is a known issue and has to do with the last firmware update on some HR-20-100 and 700 units. There is a thread on this issue at the other site.

    Converts from DISH -- surprises you will discover

    I was a dish customer for 9 years. I have 3 HD TVs including a 70". Directs HD is absolutely amazing. Scfi, USA and FX are like watching a 1080P Blu-ray movie. The movie channels, especially Starz looks much better on Direct. I am extremly glad I made the switch!

    Just switched to D from E. The difference in PQ on Starz is amazing. It looks almost as good as an HDDVD or Blu-ray. On E the bitrate is so slow it looked like uprezed HD. Really noticed the difference on the Di Vinci Code tonight. I am glad i made the change.
