i know a hd version of south park was on 360 marketplace a while back, did they ever make more?
Somehow, I find a big difference in animated movies, and Cartoons.. Cars was a movie.. Scooby Doo is a cartoon.. I don't care to see Scooby in HD.
Visiting family in western MA and CT. Thought I would check in to see what HD i a m missing. None I guess
Cars on Blu-Ray is awesome - especially when viewed on an HDTV with 120hz refresh rate. Those cars look real!
Dish needs to act sooner than later. They are getting their *** handed to them and people beyond this board are noticing. Its bad when cable has as much or more hd. This AMC14 ordeal surely does not help.
They also have the Movie In HD, but thats all. And the episode you are thinking of is "Fun With weapons".

i totally get what youre saying, was just throwing that out there.
but the ratatouille blu-ray was better pq wise than cars by a shade. i enjoyed cars more tho.
Cars has an Original Aspect Ratio of 2.35:1. Even an HDTV will show bars. If it fills a 16:9 screen, you have crop and chop going on.
Not the leader anymore?
I noticed Dish dont advertise they are the leader, but rather have a quote from CNET "Industry leader in HD". Someone should tell them just because they are first in adding the most HD doesnt excuse them for being the last. D* also has some good phone people when I called to price (thinking of switching) They sure know how to dog VOOM stuff.

Well, I've decided to take the D* plunge. I will get it set up in a couple of weeks when I move. I will drop my E* to just the HD only pack and have $25 worth of credits a month because of club dish.
Youll be happy with D*. Better PQ, and the HR20 is close to the 722 in usability.
OK, who has both?
Last I heard, scanning the guide on a D* receiver was slower than molasses..... I can fly through on my 722....
I Called D* and I am not switching because it will cost me $800 for equipment. I already invested a lot of money in my Dish DVR's.
Also, Sling is supposed to be integrated into the Dish receivers in 2009. I would rather have one box sitting on my shelf than 2 and the technologies integrated.
In addition, I like having the ability to time shift because I have distant nets for NBC, CBS and FOX and Superstation package for CW. I only qualified for NBC with DirecTV and would have to go through the waiver process again. I wouldn't get CW. (I live in an unserved area by both D* and E*)
Also, I have a lot of movies recorded on my Dish DVR and would have to go through the whole process to get them recorded again with D*. I really like the Dish DVR's and my wife doesn't want to learn new channels.
I have been thinking about getting D* for one TV and just getting distant nets and sports packages like EI, but the wife gets her things first (like pool and new flooring in the house and new windows)

I just swapped from D*, so Id know. Yes, the 722 is faster, but your description matches someone who has read the board too much and is going off opinion.
At the end of the day, Dish's PQ aint close.
I have the 722 and my brother has the HR20. The HR20 is not only slow as molasses in looking through the guide, but changing channels is torturous. I would say 3-5 seconds on average for the screen to display when changing a channel. It was very annoying when trying to switch between games during March Madness.
