someone blow a whistle and stop the insanity.
Im as big a fanboy of D* as anyone. D* works for me. They have the programming I like! Noone can argue with that.
With that being said Ive thought about this little D* vs E* and Scott this and DBSTalk that.
Ive come to my own conclusion.
Scott has fantastic connections with E* and a great relationship with them and should use all of his connections to get as much information as possible.
This website isnt the freaken NY Times. Its a site that a guy runs to help people with satellite questions. In this case his connections are with E*. Most of his sponsors target E* customers. It behooves him to make sure his E* section is complete and in this case noone on the net can touch him.
Scott is under no obligation to sub to D*. We arent obliged to come here either. Noone makes us read the info here. Noone forces us to this site. We come because we choose too.
DBStalk has the same type of relationship with D*. Those guys there should milk their sources for all they are worth.
What does irk me is the pissing contests that rad talks about.
Everytime there is a D* thread with compliments the E* stooges come a runnin and a hollering cutting it down.
LIKEWISE I read a few E* threads and I saw some D* stooges doing the same crap.
The choice is up to the consumer to come in here and wade through the stuff thats hyperbole and the stuff thats actual decent information.
IMHO wait 3 years and both companies will be neck and neck in what they offer. (Ofcourse D* will be
slightly ahead!)
