Definitely, there have been a lot of discussions going on about whether Plasma televisions are better than LCD television sets or vice versa.

Comment on HDTV Pictures by Nate

I have been searching around for a solid answer on this and the last picture example I found on this site shows the problem. Full screen letter boxed HD. This really bugs the hell out of me. Seems like an HD ripoff. Why should we have to use a TV function to zoom the picture to fit the HDTV? If I pay for HD it should be broadcast at a minimum of 720P or best at 1080i to fit my screen pixel for pixel with no button presses from me. This has to be the dumbest broadcast choice used. I have U-Verse and am watching the race at Mid Ohio on Speed HD with black bars all around. Now I can zoom the image to remove the bars which means the image will be zoomed to look less HD yet it will maintain the proper aspect ratio. I assume there is just very limited content that is actually recorded in full 16:9 HD at 720P or 1080i or they are just skimping. I think the best looking HD content is on the main networks delivered free OTA. I don’t remember any prime time shows being boxed in like on U-Verse or any of the other cable/SAT providers. Glad I don’t have a plasma to have to deal with burn in.

Comment on AT&T U-Verse by Jonathan

U-Verse is not the way to go when looking for TV service, here’s why. When looking for a TV service to go with there are a few things to consider. In my opinion those factors are HD channels, value, and technology. As far as HD channels go, DISH Network still has the most HD channels in the industry and the best equipment and value for the money. For example, as a DISH Network customer and employee I can tell you that U-Verse charges a $59 for the U100 package while DISH charges $44.99 for AT120. That’s $14 more than DISH for less channels. Another example is that DISH has the largest storage capacity for DVR’s in the industry (1 terabyte), and you can use the TV Everywhere feature using Sling technology. You can’t get that with U-Verse.

@Scott:
As far as I know they don’t offer a self install option. I understand trying to save $125, but probably better to just spend the money.

@ VCR to DVD Converter:
If you get a capture card for your laptop you could play the VCR into the laptop. Then I would use convertXtoDVD software to master the DVD.

I am a subscriber to DISH network services, and I am also an employee. I think that majority of people have would have to agree that the picture in HD is much more clearer than it is in SD. Now that I have seen HD, I hate when I see SD because of the way it looks semi grainy
