It's good to note that last years supporters of HDDVD and the 360 add on are now all for digital downloads.

 

I have 31 HD-DVD movies for my 360/HD-DVD-player, but I prefer HD discs over download.  I'm waiting for Blu-ray players and disc to fall in price, but I do find HD programming on DISH to be VERY compelling, video-wise.

 

no networks broadcast beyond 1080i right now so the only thing Dish can provide in 1080p is vod, and even that is limited.  They do have an edge but considering the cost for their hd packages It may or may not be worth it to you.

I have DISH HD, the low-end package with about 40 HD channels, plus HD PPV and a few HD VOD channels.  It costs an extra $10 per month.  Agreed regarding the perceived value, but a difference of $52 instead of $42 works for me.

 

House with cable it costs me nothing to get HD chnnels with the cable card (i have a comcast pvr, if i didn't a 2nd cable card to operate would be $2 or the hd box would be $4 more a month.  Parent's House with satellite HD was: $99 for box and 24.99 a month.  I've watched both alot and they have about equal hd coverage.
