It's a shame...Dish Networks fields the best HD DVRs yet they are bottom-of-the-barrel when it comes to their HD picture quality: Comcast was better (in my old area), DirecTV is better, and FiOS TV leaves DishHD-Lite looking like a barnacle encrusted anchor. It's a double-shame because they used to offer eye-popping (as opposed to eye-pooping) HD until they started watering-down VOOM HD and subsequently their entire HD lineup post October 2006 to the point Mark Cuban had to say something. It's a triple-shame that my three award-winning 622s are sitting in a closet because there are far-better HD quality offerings available.
To be honest, I am letting my renters use one of my 622s and USB drive because it's not doing me any good right now. These people certainly aren't HD (or even TV) buffs, but both the husband and wife could tell the difference between the digital locals from my two OTA antennas and that which was being pawned-off as HD by Dish Network.
I was never dissatisfied with the number of Dish Network HD channels, but their TurboHD can be better...much better.
