My charter is same thing.. my channels now from 1-99 look horrific.
I mean they use to look much better when i had the regular digital box..but now that i have the hd box..looks worse.
The thing is..yes my 1-99 channels are analog..and the quality is more horrid..picture quality is grainy..the colors look very whashed out, and i think digital channels don't look too good for me...they look horrific with my new receiver.
I am looking towards Dish Network more because they are offering the ViP 622 for free when i get it on February 1st...but i am also looking towards DTV..it seems DTV quality on HD and SD is superior to Dish Network..now i had Dish Network few years ago around 2003...well the quality back then was great compared to cable tv...I don't know how Dish Network is now..but i hope for the love of god..they are better than Charter...i mean i couldn't watch UHD tonight (movie Empire on HD)...the movie kept freezing up every 10-20 seconds for like 1-2 minutes..no comments..plus by the time charter picks up the phone the movie would be already over.
I am attracted to DTV since they got 2 new sats going up soon and that means more channels and probably more bandwidth + better quality PQ...i dubt Dish Network will be able to match with DTV since Dish ain't got new sats going up soon..plus i did some research myself and it looks like our friend Charlie looks towards quantity over quality...id rather go with quality over quantity if you ask me. and looks like DTV Local HD channels are free in my area..without spending an additional 5.99$.
But i don't know whats the deal with Dish Network..will they keep adding more channels and sacrifice PQ? or they will actually look towards quality one of this days..plus looks like DTV HD channels are cheaper too..they may have less channels..but hey..quality is what im looking for..
Atm the 622 offer is really addicting..id rather save 200$...i dubt quality will degrade on Dish too much..
Does DN have any plans to get more sats up anytime soon? and improve PQ?
