My contract with Dish was up so I switched to Direct TV,I have two HR20-100's and one H20-600 receivers. So far everything is working great.
One thing different is I have one dish now.
Ed...
How's the quality compared to DISHHD and how big is your HDTV?
D* looks to have a nice HD package, but it is really hard to figure out initial cost and on-going monthly cost with them.
Yes, even though I do not have that problem, I think you probably hit the nail on the head...the VAST majority of people in the REAL WORLD, NOT on web boards definately want their locals in HD first and foremost..so, Dish should probably focus on that first, before they worry about adding Fox news in HD, or the Toilet Bowl Channel in HD..
Generally speaking locals vary from as good as OTA in alot of markets to just ok in others. Mainly has to do with the source broadcast that D*(or E*) is getting from the stations than anything they are doing themselves.Well, one thing I noticed since I first posted on this topic, I have read a couple of complaints of over-compression of HD locals on D*.
PQ not as good according to one former E* subscriber.
So maybe the grass is not quite as green on the other side as some think.
But like many things, this may be more a regional problem than a universal one. Difficult to say.

I will most likely wait until the end of the Hockey Season, whereas I subscribed NHL CI Package. Even after that, D* is gonna have to come down to earth on the upfront fees on HUD-DR receivers to make me want to switch and then have to commit for two years.
You should check out D* treatment of Center Ice BEFORE you switch over to D*. From what I have been seeing the D* hockey folks are NOT at all happy with D*'s CI package.

Well to tell you the truth, I am not too thrilled with CI package on E* this year, with all the Canadian Providers (CBC,TSN,Rogers,RDS) content only being availabe in SD on the CI Package when, during the actual broadcasts, they claim they are broadcasting in HD. E* needs to wake up and make them available in HD too.
Otherwise, come next may (when my CI subscription expires), it will be a no brainer, to just dump E*. E* needs to pick up the ball and run with it, to keep us subs happy.
