The most compelling reason would be to put something on that would make me want to see it clearerWant a better picture? Switch to the DISH, I did last Saturday, horizontal lines of resolution from 400 to 525 lines, near DVD quality, standard broadcast from your local stations anout 280 horizontal lines of resolution.
Our existing cable system is good, but the DISH picture quality is much better, plus 169 stations (including the music only).
(Freepmail me if you want more info.)
Here is another sold DISH Customer agreeing with you.
I went to DISH two years ago to get Fox News and to cancel my AT&T cable which was becoming a tower of bable with more and more foriegn language channels with increasing costs.
The picture we get is incredible even on our 12 year old RCA 27 inch tv. The picture is better than any cable picture or video tape picture in a store that sells tvs.
Also, when the program was done in HDTV, the picture seems to improve.
