HITS can look quite good.most 4dtv sd feeds look good. even w5 re-uplinks HITS look pretty good. sometimes lifetime movie channel looks a little grainy but it may be the movie. a lot of those movies are old.
HBO looks good off G1.
My boss has directv in his apt. He has HD. I think its an HR-21 receiver. HD on directv like my SD on most c band. Master HD feeds on fta blow away directv hands down even though the HR-21 will show "1080"..Ha Ha.
That's why they call pizza HD Lite and they charge extra for the 1080 what a ripoff :rant: LOL
