Bangor, ME | Uhm, Dish Network? Not only has DirecTV started doing MPEG4, but Dish Network started doing it years before DirecTV did. Isn't it funny how that doesn't make it into the article though? |

Bangor, ME | I think HD-LITE is slowly starting to go away.
DTV is mostly not HD-Lite now, but some programmers (TNT, A&E, TBS, etc.) are doing something worse known as Stretch-o-Vision, where they stretch 4:3 shows to 16:9. Let's just say Costanza on Seinfeld has a REALLY HUGE HEAD then. |

Nobody cares about Dish...except a few fanboys...
DirecTV has the sports packages that make HD worth the extra cash...everyone has the network HD crap that Dish offers... |

Bangor, ME | Not everyone cares to pay 250$ for NFL Sunday Ticket (350 if you want it in HD). As it goes I get Patriots games over an OTA antenna for free.
I was already a DirecTV customer. It's nice to see they finally got channels I've had on Dish for years. |
