Anyway, the picture quality in HD is much better with dish. I have a 37" Samsung 1080p 120Hz TV. This picture is not as good as my BluRay, but is good enough to make me stay with Dish. In additiion, the reciever format is light years ahead of Insight or DirecTV. The only down side to having dish is you can lose signal if it gets covered in snow or you get a really bad storm.
I would be surprised if all three providers don't upgrade recievers every 6 months or so. a bunch of my neighboors just switched dish providers. I ask why and they say they wanted to upgrade recievers as they constantly get better. I don't see how a reciever can get much better then the one directtv provided me last week.
