Charlie doesnt need to kiss it. He is kicking it. D* is an embarrassment now and over the last 2 years IMO. Come back when you are offering ANY real HD channels and more of them. ANd BTW, got an mpeg4 HD DVR yet? Charlie does.
Sorry but it doesnt change the fact that Charlie is deploying an mpeg4 HD DVR probably 6 to 9 months before D* will. Just means that when he flips the mpeg4 switch it wont be as big of a clusterf$ck as it will be for D*. He will have a huge lead.nickg420 said:

Amazing. Even Ken H. at AVS forum, one of the biggest D* supporters Ive seen in the years Ive had HD has admitted he doesnt even watch HD on D* anymore.
Ken H said:
Id suggest a new prescription,a bigger set, or a calibration if you want to see the difference.

So I guess you are saying that your taste is as bad as your eyesight?

Big F...ing Deal!!! When do you think this miraculous "switch" will be pulled?????
My guess would be about the time D* plans start kicking in maybe after????
Bottom Line is nobody knows not even Charlie and that's the problem.
I'm missing the point with this one........so someone who is a big supporter of D* doesn't watch D* HD anymore......I still say if noone knew the resolution noone would have ever said two words about the quality but when every other post is about V*s HD-Lite and D* being commited to HD-Lite it's like a Bad Placebo or maybe Domino Effect would be a better word .....and now everyone has bad PQ issues.vurbano said:

First off my eyes are 20/20 I have them checked twice a year as part of my job requirements, second I have 53" Widescreen how big do you need????? As far as a calibration goes no thank you.....I can think of hundreds of better ways to drop $400-500 for a guy to calibrate my TV which looks just fine to me.
vurbano said:
So ultimately I guess your saying it's OK for E* to F*ck people as long as the end justifies the means......and V*s 15 channels of BS is considered taste???....Only V* channels worth any space is Rave the rest are complete wastes of space IMO. Oh Yeah Gameplay HD has so much tasteful programming gimme a break....... Look here's the deal I come here everyday and I see people post so much hoopla about HD-Lite and I think to myself when did people just stop sitting at home and watching TV????
Sure we all want the clearest sharpest PQ possible and we all know that's not what we are getting.....so what???........Sometimes I just want to scream watch the damn TV and shut up.......I for one am thankful for anything that's better than SD and D* SD is not near as bad as E* as least not in my neck of the woods. So HD or HD-Lite I welcome it all....

I think dragon has been standing outside too long in his DTV cheerleading jumps, cheer shoes, pom poms, and DTV cheer beanie...gotta keep that mind filled with blind DTV propaganda from freezing. Considering this is coming from a HDTV-less individual, with no desire to obtain HDTV, then take it for what it's worth....zippo, nadda, nil. Until DirecTV starts delivering on their promises, they will remain a 5th rate HDTV provider at best: DishHD, FiOS TV, Cable, IPTV,,,,,,,,, DirecTV HD (pathetic).vurbano said:really? got a source? Theyve announced all of this sh*t yet nothing on improving PQ. But go right ahead and sign up for 2 more years.
Added some companions for all the other blind DTV HD cheerleaders.
Until D* something to improve quality and quantity, the DTV HD cheerleaders should drop the pom poms and quietly go about their business. As vurbano has so accurately pointed out, there has been little to cheer about the past couple years if you've had D* HD.

so you are ranking dish as the primo provider of HD???
why, because he saved the sorry ass endless loop known as voom??
get real.
vurbano,
read the chart, it is an estimation of dish's capacity, nothing more.
at this time it is showing dish as having almost 50, where are they??
go ahead vurbano, call up dish and tell them you want to subscribe and you want 50 channels of true hd, and you want it NOW.
put up or get to steppin'.

You got it wrong Einstien. Its an estimation of HD national channel capacity. Doesnt even address HDLIL, thought youd have seen that by now and agrue that too. Perhaps your the one that needs to read?
As for your other dribble Dish has all of the desirable national HD channels. With your ridiculous logic I suppose D* will have 150

Since when is ST a national HD channel?
Dont blame voom because you have no taste. I see when youve lost the arguement you start attacking anything you can find.

vurbano, i didnt lose the argument. people pay more for doom, gloom,,,,oh yeah voom, it is hd . people pay for the st, as of this year it is available in hd NATIONALLY. your point.???
that voom is more desireable than the NFL???? dont make me laugh.
and vurbano, voom had 40,000 at its peak, it was niche market, it STILL IS.ST is national.

and remember you attacked first,, the einstien comment, ok? RAINMAN!

Once again, since your having a problem with it, ST is not a National Channel. Its a group of regional Hd channels sold as a sports package.A sports subscription that lights up for 8 hours, one day of the week is NOT a NATIONAL channel. Face it, your arguement is sinking fast. Any more straws to grab at? Youve already sunk to attempting to trash the Voom channels and trying to equate ST to a national channel, the next one outta be a real doozie

....attempting to trash the voom channels????????????? hell been there done that ,to death. they are an endless loop of the same old, same old. it is watching HD just to say you are watching HD.
that is MHO , i do believe that im allowed one.
ST is broadcast nationally, it is a national channel. by your argument espn is not national. neither is center ice , MLB, NBA or the NCAA. by that logic i COULD include cnn, msnbc, headline news, fox news etc.
try that on someone else.

ESPN is a national channel as you admit in your post. ST, extra innings and etc are sports packages. Please dont use the word logic anymore since you obviously cant exercise it you couldnt possibly know what it means.
