When considering an HDTV Satellite system, what is your pref

[DruzeTito]

I voted 4DTV. If you can get away with a BUD it's the best quality you're going to see with satellite HDTV.

I had Voom (VaVaVoom) and loved it. I wish one of the DBS providers would step up to the plate with 40ish HD channels (not counting locals!).

I agree with Shawn. 4DTV is awesome it gets the feed from the channel DIRECTLY from the source satellite and this is where you will have max eye popping HD qualityat it's best. Directv/Dish take the source signal, reuplink to their satellite and then the end user gets this signal. I believe there is some quality loss here. Its not to say that it doesn't look good!!

4DTV here although I do have a OTA receiver and the picture quality on it is excellent.

I use 4dtv, I have seen DTV and Dish and was not happy with there PQ, 4dtv HD is very limited but the quality is great, we should finally have the NFL network HD soon also so thats a plus for 4dtvers.

Both the HD and SD on 4dtv blows the pants off mini dish hands down

Hi,
I'm new here. Had DirectTv from it's inception,late 93,I believe. Started with the basic dish,then 3 sat and now 5 sat. Being forced to move to an apt. due to loss of job. Close to retirement though. DirectTv tech's unable to lock all the sat's with the new slimline 5 sat dish on my 3rd story balcony. Good line of site,but they said I had reflection problems. Any experience with this?

Now I'm going to try Dish network for the first time with thier Dish 1000 to see if that system will work.

So I guess,DirectTv is my favourite up to this time. I'm intrigued about the new 99 sat. DirectTv says they will have up to 250 HD channels with it. Anybody know more about this?

I live in Dublin,Ca. That's about 45 miles southeast of San Francisco.

Does that mean he gets scared when he looks in the mirror? On a side note never heard of such things.
