>> there are no HD national channels that are not available to HD TiVo owners

I'm assuming this means 'DirecTV's current HD national channels are all HDTiVo receivable' which is true. But DISH certainly has many more HD national channels than DirectTV, and DirecTV is unlikely to be adding many more until their DVR is ready. DirecTV did recently add in-market only HD baseball games coded in MPEG4 and transmitted via spotbeam. These games are not HDTiVo compatible.

Some of the DISH channels are from the VOOM service, but recently HGTV and Food Network annouced HD broadcast, and at least HGTV-HD is on DISH now.

Now that TiVo's series III for cable service is almost ready, I'm almost ready to roll over to that technology anyway.
