In Reply to: Is it just me or does Dish Network SD suck??? posted by Dennisj on May 9, 2004 at 06:10:20:
DISH SD broadcast varies from "OK" to downright terrible depending on the channel. I was physically unable to watch their "locals" channels due to extreme haziness and ended up putting up a Channel Master HD antenna for that reason. OTA broadcasts look awesome via 811, especially HD. Fortunately, I've been noticing more and more primetime local programming to be more and more HD as time goes by.Dish's HBO, and few others look "OK" in SD, but look like child's play compared to HBO HD, Showtime HD.
I basically try to avoid watching these dish SD channels as much as possible and keep sending Charlie e-mails to ease off on the digital compresssion (I'd rather see fewer channels of higher quality).
Oh, DirecTV SD channels are not any better, either.
