Has anyone had experience with this? Apparently in Ontario it provides 32 free channels, including american channels WITH the American super Bowl commercials. If the PQ is better as well, I'm all over it.

Yes it's true, see digitalhome for probably the best info in North America. Some would like to shout it from the rooftops. Others wish they wouldn't as you-know-who makes no $$$ from it and there is already a backlash starting, since the same outfits effectively make the laws by manipulating the CRTC, etc. It is the law that American broadcasters provide "free" HDTV. Not so in Canada.

Picture quality on Dish Network is way better than what we were getting on cable.

  Of course I can't do a side - by - side comparison of the Comcast Xfinity digital cable service I had in New Hampshire with Dish Network here in Connecticut, but I can say that Dish's picture appears significantly better than what I remember seeing on cable. The price is better than Comcast too. One downside is that the selection and organization of Dish's on - demand service (which is really streaming video over the internet) is greatly inferior to Comcast on demand.
