Less Compression of Dish Network Content?

Hi,

I am wondering if any other Dish Network users have experienced better picture and sound quality since yesterday?

Dish Network have reorganized the Sirius/XM channel order, and I am noticing better sound and picture quality over all, most especially in high definition content. As a Dish Network subscriber for more than twelve years, I've experienced a gradual deterioration of of picture and sound quality over the past few years and its of late its been pretty poor. I can only assume that this is due to increasing the rate of compression. I've been giving serious consideration to the fiber-optic-based Verizon FIOS solution. Correct me if I'm wrong but is it correct that Verizon doesn't have to resort to heavy compression due to far greater bandwidth of fiber optic technology? I am glad to see an improvement in Dish PQ and sound since yesterday, but I have to wonder if it's going to last or are they going to start compressing the heck out of everything again?

Any thoughts?

Best,
