Re: DISH vs. Direct TV right now

Did you have digital or regular analog cable prior to switching to DISH? How does the picture quality compare on regular non-premium channels on DISH vs cable?

I've been on plain ole analog cable for many years and finally decided to try 'digital' cable with the digital cable set-top-box. Surfing channels on the digital cable box is very slow and the picture quality is no better than analog cable EXCEPT that the premium channels are extra sharp. I rarely watch the premium channels so I took the diital cable box back and I'm on regular analog cable again.

I'm thinking of switching to DISH or DirecTV if their picture quality is better for regular non-premium channels.
