Re: [DISH] How about Dish Network HD vs. DirecTV?
I had had Dish Network for years 7 or 9 years I cannot remember which . I converted to HDTV a little over 2 years ago . Which required upgrading all of my equipment it was an nightmare got conflicting stories . At first they want to put up 2 dishes one to the east and one to the south . Then the 1000 system dish came out and they put it up and an new HD receiver . The install was extremely poor and not pointed correct had 2 service calls over it (I would loose one satellite's signal real easy ). End of this summer they demanded for me to sign a 18 month contract to allow me to lease their receiver.Since I owned my equipment I was really upset that the current receiver would no longer get the whole HD pack. I got in a heated argument with a real hard ass company rep and canceled service.To prove they were the boss they made me remove my antenna from the roof and return it since they said it wasn't really mine(the dish got upgrade at my expense twice over the years at one of the 2 upgrades the equipment became property of Dish Network ) .Upon removing the dish I found my reception problem was that all pointing adjustments lock hardware was missing or loose (they pointed it and walked away ) . Went with a local cable company .
You can have problems with any company Dish is just another big company with all the usually problems.
The biggest thing about HDTV is the problem of the lack of programing or channels . Then the channels mix non HD programing into their channel. I hate it when they stretch the show to fit the screen . My joke is that if one of these super thin actress saw themselves stretch it kill them .
To sum it up I notice the new Direct TV add promising 100 channels around New years now that's promising if true .
