Honestly, Vurbano is speaking the truth. D*'s HD is not up to Par.... I have compared it....Most people that are happy with D* have more than likely never seen True HD... .
I'd love to see your proof of that.

...or they subscribe for other reasons such as the sports package like me. In my opinion, Vurbano has always just stated the facts, even when we were in the original Voom days.
If you honestly believe v-- "always just states the facts", you must be new to this and similar message boards. His great insights and frequent promotion of Voom totally ignored their glaring horrendous business model and bizarre efforts of maintaining any form of customer service (which many of us saw right away) - which ultimately led to their total collapse and demise. V-- disputed, opposed anyone who even questions Voom's plans at every turn, and repeatedly insulted anyone who saw the handrighting. So much for "the facts". He only has opinions like the rest of us (based on the Voom track record...hmmmmm).
Apparently you don't buy into the "find out for yourself" concept that most people use on any lasting investment or decision. That's OK, you disagree.
However likewise your personal comparison means nothing, just like mine doesn't either -- different location, different equipment, not side-to-side, and your eyes and not ours. I can find plenty of folks who totally feel the opposite of your position. Whopee.
I could also make a strong case that E* is in such a world of hurt for the future themselves because of losing 2 major court cases (including the TIVO DVR case) the past 30 days against them, and they also lack the resources (money and equipment) for the future bandwidth needed for widespread HDTV - I also have used their service, have friends who used them and left in disgust, and read all over on how bad they are -
so everyone should bale out of DISH right now, using your same logic.
There have been countless lame threads about "HD Lite" (which many feel is an illegitimate term), which is inconsistent with the industry HD definitions as described by the CEA and FCC. There has been plenty of back and forth bantering on that one too. The bottom line, you either buy into the facade of that term or you don't. Doesn't make it fact - the government standards are being met (you haven't seen any fines or lawsuits with the FCC on "HD Lite", have you?).
Let's call a spade a spade - it's your opinion. You are absolutely entitled to an opinion like anyone else - but not to re-label it as something else. Having one or a few others concur doesn't make it a "fact" either.
