yeehaaa!!!!!!! My commitments are through with DirecTV and on Thursday I get my Dish setup. Local HD channels and 30 HD channels also. And I can catch the action on my new HD PVR from Dish that has *woohoo* HDMI. Now ALL my components are pure digital and are routed automatically through my HDMI switcher. I will report here later on my impressions of the HD feed from Dish! For 10 months, the silver plan, which I am going to be on, is actually cheaper than DirecTV with no HD! BrUAUAUAUAUAHAAA!
