    Directv HD vs Dish and Comcast

    Switching to Directv when I move in August. Loved it when I had it before but never had their HD. Have Dish HD currently. If anyone has had both or Comcast....is there a noticeable difference? Thanks

      I have to agree. I had cable up until I moved in November. My new twn doesnt offer any cable, so my only option was dish.
      The HD quality on dish is alot better than cable. I have a samsung DLP 720p/1080i tv and the picture will amaze you. My friends all have plasma TVs they bought for 3k, and they all say the HD quality of directTV is alot better.

        Dish compresses their HD a lot more than DTV because they don't have the bandwidth that DTV has. Comcast is comparable depending on where you live, ie big city, otherwise it usually is lacking.

        Also I would request a SWM (Swim) install. Only 1 line is needed for each DVR. Read up here, www.dbstalk.com, they have some great FAQ and can help with the hassle that the install can sometimes create.

          heh, if you need a referral, we'd both get $100. Just let me know.

            So basically Direct TV HD > Comcast = or > Dish??

            How much are each of the services? Debating whether we want cable or if we'd just do the Netflix.......
