Anyone here getting HDTV through DTV?
How do you like it and what receiver are you using? Multi dish setup or triple LNB?

Direct TV has a whopping 3 channels in HD. The only one worth a shit is HDNet, the other 2 are an HBO channel and a Showtime channel. The two movie channels are obviously not showing content created in HD, but showing movies with the quality of progressive scan DVD's. I got my folks set up with a panasonic HDTV reciever (to go along with their TiVO - gotta LOOOOOVE that TiVO!!!!) and I am underwhelmed. The picture on HDNet is jaw dropping good, but damn..... only one freeking HD channel on three freeking sattelites!!!! Gimme a break. Drop some of the fucking 24/7 game show networks and shopping channels and gimme my HDTV!!!!!!!
I saw the High Def Discovery Channel at Circuit City and just about wet myself - it freeking rocks, only to discover that it's not carried by DTV - only Dish Network (so far) 
Great idea, poor delivery.
