I always see people on here comparing or dogging the HD quality for each of these providers. I have both and all the HD channels available on both. I have my Samsung directv reciever hooked up on a DVI cable and I did have my 811 hooked up on component cables. I know that the component cables will give a lower quality than hdmi but the 811 looked better on component than the Sammy did, so that is how I have had it for a while. I got my 622 about a week ago and I connected it to my TV's hdmi port. From what I understand HDMI and DVI give the same picture quality hdmi just carries sound too. If that is true there is no comparison Dish HD kills Directv HD. I mean it is not even close. If it wasn't for the east coast local HD channels I get from them I would cancel them all together and I know I will as soon as my locals go up on Dish which may be a while. But I know I will be dropping everything I can on my Directv account. The 622 is outstanding, well worth the upgrade fee. I had one small problem on TV2 but that cleared up. So anyone wanting sd only, both are good products in my opinion make up your own mind. But if you want HD Dish is the way to go, Hands down...... in my opinion.
