The question I ask myself is, if I did leave Dish, so what more HD is out there? No one else has Voom, and they all have the same channels, like the new ones Dish added, where most of the content I have seen is either 4:3 black side bars or stretched, except for a few like MGMhd. Leaving and paying a penalty for more of the same? Doesn't seem wise to me with over a hundred dollars I would have to pay to end my contract. Besides, I do like the Dish DVR and external hard drive, I don't think Directv has the external hard drive, and aside from Voom, which was a severe disappointment to me, I have been happy with the service. So I am sticking it out a while, especially when they said I will be getting my HD locals soon and also said to watch for more HD in the coming weeks...the big question is...is it going to be true high def. I wish Dish would return Voom I would even pay for an extra package to get it. Maybe that's what they have in mind, kowing people like me would pay for it.
