I'll just put in a plug for terrestrial High Definition here. Our new system in the US yields better quality high-definition images than any of the cable or dish providers. The bandwidth is much larger and compression is correspondingly lower - a result of an older standard conceived a decade ago that doesn't flex to cram more channels. Sunday football never, ever looked so good. Of course, you won't receive much terrestrial HD in your van when you're cruising in the boonies. Even at home I only get 10 channels, and none of them have any Vanagon content whatsoever. -Peter On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 8:29 AM, Bob Stevens <mtbiker62@gmail.com> wrote: > I've had Dish, Direct and Comcast Cable and there is NO comparison for > clarity of receptionand consistency of signal and service.
