Cox blows. I have just about every channel you can think of on Direct TV.

I find that HD makes a more of a difference on a larger tv. Since I went from a 27" tube to a 56" dlp the analog channels look like shite but the HD is perfect. The analog was clearer on the 27" I guess since the 400 lines per in were closer together on the small tv.

How so?

DirecTV has a shite ton of HD channels, but how many of them are useless? Having HD channels that I'll never watch is worthless to me.

I have Directv and I am a HD snob. The only things I watch that are not HD are Bizarre Foods on Travel Channel and ESPNU. I think both those channels should be on Directv in HD by the end of the year.

I do too but does anyone else have problems with the channel guide running excessively slow when you're on HD channels? It's nearly unbearable.....can barely scroll......

Nope. But I have a DVR-HD box. The newest one out as far as I know that they use. DCH I think are the beginning letters of it.

Verizon Fios kicks arse. I get over a 100HD channels (including Travel!) but no Comedy CentralHD. Which is weird, because cablevision (their main competitor) has ComedyCentralHD, but only like 40 total HD channels.
