The alleged "100 HD" national channel D* is adding, are they going to be mpeg2 or mpeg4? I would prefer mpeg2, since I would not need a new dish and receiver ( I have the HD tivo). Having to get another dish twice the size of the triple LNB, would probably force me to go to FIOS or cable. I don't want another ugly dish on the roof, and I certainly don't want to pay $299 for the hd dvr, and $99 to have the monster installed, plus living in the NE (NJ) 101 is pretty low in the sky, and due to the tree line its iffy if I can see any birds lower than that.
I don't see how this business model is going to help them. Asking existing customers to shell out another $400 after I paid $300 for the HR 20 2 years ago is pretty stupid. Looks like once my contract is up in September I'm done.
BTW - They promised me a free upgrade when I got the HR20, somehow after 3 call to customer support they claim no rep was authorised to make that promise. What a joke!
