Tallmadge, OH | I can handle $10 for HD if they'd [dish] stop nickle and diming us with bullshit charges like the "DVR" fee and the "keep it plugged in to the wall" fee and other such nonsense. |

I said years ago that by the time the switchover to HD is complete, TV will cost us 3-4x what it used to cost.
For the same crap. Just prettier looking, better sounding crap. |

It's too bad that DirectTV has to blast rockets into space and deploy expensive satellites to deliver channels to you.
That's why wires are always better and more reliable than wireless.
Maybe in 50 years, wireless tech will outperform wired tech. |

| Cable companies get their channels from satellites and then distribute them over their cables. So, exactly how are wires better? |

We're already paying... This, to me, is not added service. It is REPLACEMENT service. That's called the cost of doing business. |

said by jackknife:Cable companies get their channels from satellites and then distribute them over their cables. So, exactly how are wires better? Easy. I can get all my HD channels through one wire, along with phone and high speed internet. On the other hand, it apparently takes about 12 satellites to get all the channels down to a single customer, WITH a 33% cut in HD resolution.
In simple terms: satellite bandwidth sucks. |

==========================================
and you forgot the most important thing,
you get to pay 2 to 3 x's the amount for cable that sattelite users have to pay
