I have been merely a bystander for quite some time now reading the forums here and I am now in need of advice that I have been unable to find.
I am currently a customer of Comcast here in the Chicago area and decided to make the move to Dish. I signed up for the HD Platinum package with the new 622receiver on my Sony 55", a second standard DVR receiver for my bedroom and a
3rd basic receiver for the home office.
I suppose my only concern is with the HD service. Comcast's 1-99 channels are horrible anyway and 90% of what i watch are the HD's. I have never had any other HD service and have read many posts regarding the "hdlite" that Dish broadcasts.
My main question is will I notice a decrease in HD pic quality by switching to Dish? And secondly, has anyone else switched from Comcast in the Chicago area to Dish and if so, what are your likes, dislikes?
My install is scheduled for March 9th, so I have some time to cancel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
