What channels do you currently get with Dish and Directv doesnt offer that you couldnt live without or that keeps you as a Dish sub? Mine would have to be the HBO/Cinemax premiums. However the Directv's larger hard drive (100 HD hours) makes me jealous.
 
I like Fox News, but the reason that I switched to Dish on Sunday from DirecTV is for the HBO and Cinemax channels in HD. DirecTV f***s you with HBO and Max, you pay $28 a month for 4 HD channels, with Dish at least you get extra Max channels plus 2 extra HBO's Comedy and Zone and they have HD for all feeds except HBO2 and MoreMax.
 
I don't care if you could live without Fox News or CNN or whatever else, there is a standing rule of no political discussion on the site. If you want to discuss politics, please go to http://www.sonicbabble.com

Thank you. Stay on topic, about HD.

For me... I could really live without the World Fishing Network. :)
 
I could not live without FREE SPEECH TV. Directv doesn't carry it and probably never will.

funny and ironic considering all the posts deleted here in this thread.

not really as the deleted posts were political...basically the "______________ channel supports _______________ president (former or current)" line

I watch the network feeds of ABC, CBS, Fox, & some NBC. Other that that, I watch HBO, Travel, HGTV, SCiFi (all in HD). I rarely watch any of the remaining HD channels. I DVR all programs. I never watchd live tv. Even if I run across something that I like, I will DVR the remainder of the program and watch it later, without commercials.
 
None. But if I were to leave, DirecTv would not be where I would go. So I would have to start looking at say what is different between Fios and Dish channels. I am assuming that Dish will keep its DVr's running, but if they don't I will really be looking.
 
As a Direct sub I cannot answer which one I cannot live without, but I can answer which ones that you guys have that I wish Direct had.

The ones I want that Dish currently has and Direct does not are WGN (although not that big of a deal since I have EI and more Cub games are on CSN) and Travel (this is the one channel I really want).

From the Direct side. The channels that Direct has that Dish doesn't that I could not live without are MLBNet and EI.
