Not only would people need to upgrade their dish, but also their receiver AND their multiswitch. And I'm NOT willing to give up my DirecTV/HD-TiVo unit yet. In fact, if I wanted to switch, I'd have to give up my OTA antenna because I only have 4 cables coming from the roof and I currently multiplex OTA onto one of those. With the new dish, I can't multiplex, so no CW or extra local channels for me. (I need to confirm that DirecTV doesn't offer CW in HD via sat, but I don't believe they do).

The new MPEG-4 channels aren't HD-Lite from what I've read, so you should be happy with that - there aren't many MPEG-2 HD channels out there.

Now for Cox, they're too expensive and this suit will only add to that problem. There goes all of my entertainment budget.]]>Oct 19th 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/19/directv-sues-cox-over-claims-of-cable-hd-superiority/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/19/directv-sues-cox-over-claims-of-cable-hd-superiority/
