I read all the negative reviews but at half the price of my DISH TV I was willing to take the risk. I'm sooooo glad I did ! ! Friendly sales and installation staff made the purchase and hook-up a pleasure. Honestly, I think DISH has a sharper picture but, again, at half the price and absolutely acceptable picture quality, nothing to complain about. DISCLAIMER: I am less than 1000 feet from the DSLAM and I know that makes me fortunate, but so far....I'm a happy customer ! !
