Oh man be done with it and sign up for DirecTV and enjoy
your TEN 1280 x 1080i HD channels, while I'll enjoy my
32 HD DISH HD channels with nine 1940x1080i (RUSH,
HDNET,,HDNMV, TNTHD, HBOHD, HDPPV, DSCHD, ESPHD,
SHOHD). All the other HD channels are 1440x1080i
except the VOOM channels 1280x1080i.

I never commented on picture quality, however, with my experience, even if Dish has a little better looking picture (which I don't see most of the time to be honest) their receivers and the headaches that follow, out weigh that little bit of a better quality in picture. All of my LIL's have horrible PQ--even though when I pull them OTA they are crystal clear, so don't say it is stations problem. Other channels on Dish have PQ problems too. So Dish Network PQ isn't that spectacular.
Ah i c, well i just got back from a neighbor who is my friend..well i checked his picture quality..he has SD channels only no HDTV yet for him..well i must say i got blown away from the HD quality on his Dish Network SD channels..hell they almost look better than my HD channels here..even if i have a better tv he still get better picture quality...plus the images on his SD channels are much better than what i use to have before (digital cable box SD) and now the HD box..it totally beats my previusly owned receivers/service from charter..
He lives only 1 block away from my house...now he gets good quality pictures on his SD receiver and he has a dish 1000+ since he has international channels.
I am kinda worried..if he gets such a good quality picture on his SD receiver also an SD TV..
Will i be able to get the same quality picture on my HDTV and will i see a major change in the receivers? i am picking up a 622 ViP.
