Dish Network adds 1080p programming to IP-DVR

article published on 19 January, 2009

Perhaps the most controversial decision in the early days of HDTV standards was the use of interlacing at the highest resolution (1080i). The introduction of Blu-ray and HD DVD also brought the standardization of progressive content (1080p) which has been responsible for the introduction of many more HDTVs capable of displaying these signals.

So let me ask this. After the first year of having them or Direct TV and their service are they any cheaper than say having Comcast's ?

It just doesnt' make sense to have something that

If your going to get broadband you might as well bundle all three things from someone like Comcast and save more right ?

Responding to bundle.

The bundle is an introductory offer. You pay for it in the end. It's like a bad adjustable mortgage, in my view. It's ok until the rates go up! I'm not negotiating to keep my house. Wouldn't it be great if you could just get the HD Channels for less than the intro price of cable TV. Hmmm...

The home phone service could be replaced with magic jack or a bigger cell plan.
The cable companies money maker is their internet. You have to pay full for the internet.

You just bet the bundle, and got what you wanted all the time.

AT&T's U-Verse is sub contracted to Dish Network so you can get AT&T Home Phone,Cell Phone,Internet,and TV. So your actually bundling 4 things instead of 3. Then again it seems like more people are dropping home phone service for cell service.

Dish Network is a waste of time. They don't even offer ABC in my area anymore due to some dispute. I'll be moving over to a fios bundle.
