and the new Motorola HD PVR with dual tuner. Picture quality is very good via component cables; I am waiting for an HDMI/DVI cable to arrive.
When I got non-HD via Sat on the old Sony CRT, it was seemingly better than cable systems I saw. However, when I upgraded sets to the Toshiba 52HMX84, the sat channels SUCKED!! Lots of pixelation and grain.
With cable HD, the HD pictures are stunning (much better than my DVD via component). Non HD channels appear less noiser than via SAT.
Sat prices were good, but when I combined the cable modem offer with the HD PVR, it was a no-brainer. Also, at $400 for the DISH PVR which had less features and was troublesome, that settled the matter.
