Re: [DISH] How about Dish Network HD vs. DirecTV?

said by wreck7:

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.

Here is the best comparison lineup of HD programming I have seen: »www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthre···t=419472

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.
