I am considering going back to HD. I had it taken out after being an early adopter when HD first started on Dish. I wanted the regular channels I was getting to be in HD and unfortunatly that was a long way off.
Also, the receiver, a first generation two tuner non DVR did a lousy job with SD pictures. Blurry and out of focus. I had it taken out and hooked up to a 625 and was very happy! Great picture! Not HD quality, of course, but damn good nontheless.
So...now it looks like many new channels are becoming HD. Not new useless channels but the channels most folks like to watch. I'm becoming interested once again.
Only one question remains for me to get back on the bandwagon. Until all or most of this years new additions are online there are still going to be a lot of my favorite channels broadcast in SD. My old receiver did a lousy job with it's upconverting. Does the 722 do a decent job with this? How does the 722 SD picture compare with that of a 625?
A lot of the shows I watch are on the networks. I can't get reception by attenna where I'm at so I have to get the locals via Dish. Since adding Madison, WI locals seems to be a ways off yet I'll have to watch them via SD. As you can guess it wouldn't be pleasant watching a blurry out of focus picture so I'm hoping the 722 can do a good job.
I'd appreciate any info you folks can give on this subject. Thank you.
