Very good move by DishTV for joining the HD Revolution. Price is also good with some unique HD channels. Only drawback is absence of DVR.
I agree with Sri.A.Mohapatra.I am existing customer and am eagerly waitng for such announcement.
WHAT IS THE SOUND QUALITY IN DISH TV HD
Hello Vinod,
In Dish TruHD, Sound comes in Mono so you can’t expect better sound quality compare to Sun Direct HD.
