If you really can not see the difference between SD and HD then something is wrong. Either your eyes or your TV or maybe both.
Maybe I need a 50" plasma to see the difference, but on my 20" LCD, I don't.
Do I have a legitimate complaint?

Which statement makes no sense?
If you are referring to my $100 upgrade rebate, that even hasn't been taken off my bill yet. Yes, I have emailed ceo@echostar.com to see if they can correct the problem. Hopefully the $100 credit will be on my February bill. There will be about $20 left over that will be on my March bill.
What size screen would work better? Not that I can afford another tv.
Also, would it matter if it's plasma or LCD?
I think that what people a re trying to say is that $120 today is the same as $20 a month for six months or $40 for three months.
BTW if they give you $120 today why is it aht you won't have any of it March?
I'd say at 27" and normal viewing distances, you'd begin to see the difference. At 40" and up, it should be clear. At 50" or so, the differences between a 720 set and a 1080 set begin to be noticeable.
Not that HD doesn't look good at 32", but at 40" you can really start to see a big difference.What size screen would work better? Not that I can afford another tv.
I don't know that the type of display is much of a factor for the average guy. I have a big RP, a couple of mid-size LCD, and a small LCD. They're all good, but the bigger the better.
Check something else re: not seeing any difference. How is the TV connected to the 722? If the installer used S-video or composite connections, that would explain the lack of visual difference. You need to connect by at least the component connections, and preferrably the HDMI connection if your TV has a digital input Just my 1.5-cents worth (2-cents with a 0.5-cent, 1-month credit...!) Even at 20" you should be able to see the difference, but you may have to be really close. You wouldn't think that an installer doing an HD installation would use the SD connections, but it has happened to members of this forum more than once...!
PS - I am an LCD fan with 2 Sonys in my collection, but there are advantages to plasma as well. Check other threads for the comparison.

Some prefer plasma and some LCD but you generally see plasmas with larger screens sizes.
What I was trying to say is that if I got $20/month credited from my bill for 6 months, then the final credit would have been on my March or April bill if I figured it correctly. I upgraded in October so that's when I figured the final $20 credit would show up. My final credit was on January 31.
But this way in january you would have received all of the money that you would otherwise have to wait to get till march or April. Do you understand why people think that is better? You are basically asking them to wait longer to give you the money they owe you. What woudl you think if your employer offered you that deal?
You're getting a little too technical for me.
I know the hookup isn't an S-video. I also not sure as to what composite cables are. All the installer told me was that I needed HD cables in order to see the HD programming. The cables that are plugged in are red, green & blue. BTW, I just checked my TV & I didn't find an HDMI connection.
First, I do like the way you approached your concern, by asking if you have a real basis for a complaint, rather than writing a scathing post.
I just don't see that you are out anything, and as others suggest you actually got your money early. You can still "apply" your credit for the final months to yourself, from the money they gave you, if you want to look at it that way.

I can completely understand where everyone is coming from. I respect those people that think I'm getting a better deal & would be grateful to have $60 or whatever taken off their bill at one time. Personally, I wouldn't have minded if Dish took the full six months for the credits to take effect.
Also, I'm not employed at the moment, so I can't answer that question.
If you're not employed right now, all the more reason to have gotten the discount all up front while your income is limited.
