This pretty much decides it for me. I'm going to spend my money on upgrading to a 4DTV receiver and tune up my big dish. The programming providers and options are much better and a LOT cheaper. It seems the primary shortcoming of 4DTV offerings is the lack of some sports channels, which doesn't hinder me in the least. I've talked to a lot of people who switched to dinky-dish and they aren't as happy with the quality and stability of the picture but switched either because they could get the dinky-dish free (ain't no free lunches folks, read the fine print) or 4DTV didn't offer a specific channel they wanted. Anybody out there have a 4DTV receiver (DSR922)they'd like to part with?
BUD = Big Ugly Dish, lol

What made me go with DirecTV was the option of a DVR/Tivo for recording shows and being able to skip past commercials. I don't have much time in the day to sit back and relax, and when I do, I want to skip past all of the crap and watch what I want to.

I've never heard of 4DTV, is that a Satellite company?
