Re: DirectTv vs. DISH - picture quality ?

209.240.200.138

These problems are inherent to all the small dish systems(way too much compression,2nd generation signals, rain fade,etc.,etc).
I have a "big" dish,and there is no comparison.I get the SAME signals sent to cable,broadcast TV stations,etc.The programming is SO MUCH CHEAPER.I got 2 years of Showtime/TMC for $49.95 a year.The NFL was $129.You save enough to pay for a big dish quickly plus you can buy programming a la carte.No packages full of fluff necessary.It amazes me that audiophiles will pay $200-300 for a cable or power cord,but settle for DBS satellite.Side by side,it's like a Technics receiver next to an audiophile amp!
