Superdish and Dish 1000+
wrong
Dish 1000= Picks up 110, 118.7, 119 and 129
You need a 121 superdish to get 121. Most internationals are now being moved over to 118.7 now.

Well take a look of the channel i am going to see international:

as you can see i guess both 121 and 118.7 will be able to do it..does that mean 1 dish will be enough to get internation + US channels>
Directv has started making their own equipment and they aren't very good at it. We have a 2 yr contract and new equipment that doesn't work which they will do nothing about. I've been there 9 yrs and will be spending about $300+ to cancel. We don't have cable in our rural area, but most everyone I know has dish these days. I guess I was just holding out for a good screw.
The customer service is really bad now, they used to be great, but now they treat you bad and hang up on a lot of people besides me. They would rather have you cancel and pay a fee (&repo all your equipment that you bought) than to help you with a little problem.

Earlier was posted some deciding factors.
If it's HD channels you want, go Dish. If its NFL ST go D* Both will cost you about the same. The DVR for HD Dish works very well and is soon to get some new features. I have both D* and E* but after what I learned about D* this week I will be cancelling it when I get back home. Don't see the point in spending anymore money just to use a TIVO. D*'s HD quality seems to improve onjce NFL ST is off but never as good as the Dish HD channels. I do believe many of the lower rated SD channels on E* appear to be worse quality than the D* equivalent. I watch HD almost exclusively so PQ on E*SD channels doesn't mean much to me.

What is it you are referring to? The only DirecTV news I have heard in the last week is that they are committed to adding 70 national HDTV channels this year, and that they might get bought out.
Heck, the D* news from just yesterday, and backed up today by the way, with NBC announcing HD plans on another thread can only mean very positive news for D*. I will ask again, what news are you talking about. The answer by the way to the original posters question.
Want NFL Sunday Ticket....D*
Want more HD Today.........E*
Looking forward to the end of 2007, from what I can see, D*, unless E* has something up their sleeve to counteract D*s plans

I have always found the quality of HD on D* to be quite good.
I feel like maybe I am missing something when so many talk about D* going HDLite because to me...it looks great....10x better then what I had before I bought my HDTV 2 months ago.
I can wait, but just wonder how much the HD fee will increase once we get all those channels in HD
Oh, and this might sound stupid, but, I know D* is DTV, so what is the E* that some posters are referring to?

Hauser, if they get all the new channels/sats up when they say they will....I think the price hike will be quite steep.
Maybe I am wrong though
