Re: [DISH] How about Dish Network HD vs. DirecTV?
I have been with Dish Network for about 3 weeks. I don't know what the argument has been on the HD content because Dish has MUCH more content than they even advertised before I committed with them. I get HBO, Cinemax, Starz,TMC, etc. ALL in true HD. I get all the standard HD channels such as HistoryHD, TLC, A&E, etc. as well. There is nothing missing that anyone would want.
My bottom line is that there is not much difference between the 2 at all. I think it boils down to the luck of the draw with your individual installer. They are "private contractors" and some are good and others terrrible. |

True Dish Network offers some more HD than cable providers do, bu right now you get the most with Directv and for the forseeable future. Also, I think many people would say that the Directv receivers are less buggy than Dish's. |

| Maybe so! I would like to see the VERY latest HD line-up from each because like I said -- there is MUCH more HD content offered on Dish than even they advertised a month ago. I'm not "thrilled" having 2 HD receivers working 4 separate Tv's -- but so far, I have not had any "buggy" problems. |

Dallas, TX | Thank-you! Excellent comparison. Yes, Direct TV is "ahead" -- but personally, there are only a few channels I really miss not having in HD that D* has that Dish Network doesn't. |
