So as a long time dish sub (10 years) I made he switch to DTV. This is not a review of the install nightmares as I cover that elsewhere.
1. Channel line up I am impressed with will probably drop down to a lower package after all the promos are over as there are redunant channels I just will not watch.
2. PQ on HD I say they are about equal with the exception of Tampa Locals which I find to be clearer over dish networks locals. But the Tampa locals in SD seem more softened or blured compared to Dish Tampa locals in SD something I dont like
3.Equipment. D- It was always a on going joke that Dish alway made there final release software was always like one extended beta test. I found both the D11 and The HR22 to be slow and unresponsive in navigating there UI. Some my other frustartions are not DTV fault with there software just ones of getting use to a new system. But I often finding my self having to hit the restart button every other day.
4. Over all Happiness I would say a B, While the install was a night mare and required me to yell a bit to get things done right.The service is excellent and I have to say that while I have not had a 100% positive review for there customer service department, it is nice not having to break out my indian insult book. Nice to have people who speak english as there primary language and dont pretend that there name is tom with it is ahieb.
