As far as DTV goes,and I've been a customer since 97,They sure as heck better get their bandwidth HDTV squared away. The talk is,that they over compress their HD signal,due to satellite bandwidth squeeze. I'm about to jump into HIGH DEF.And it doesn't look like DTV is going to cut it. Cable does compress,I've heard,but not as much as satellite. So it wont matter to me who they buy.
