Will be leaving Directv shortly. Had service for 10 years and no problems w/SD (not even in bad weather). HOWEVER HD has been completely the opposite. It has never worked right from the beginning (almost 3 months ago). I have had tech's out 6 times now. HD ALWAYS either no signal or very pixillated (SD always great - 94-100% signal). Have the newest dish(Slimline) and reciever (HR21-700). Also note that the "on-demand" and the remote scheduling do NOT work with this newest receiver yet. (maybe w/ a software update in the future?). Oh yea, and had to pay $300 for the "privilege" to lease their HDDVR. So I have big $$$ invested in my new HDTV setup and can't enjoy it. Looks like Dish Network or Comcast for me.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
