Go to the avsforum site, they have been talking about this for a while under
the HD Programming section.

My father-in-law has it. He is in Cheshire, CT. He had DISH HD before that. I personally don't like the picture at all. VERY pixelated and somewhat blurry. He has had them back to his house 5 times already trying to improve the picture. His 2 sets are both hooked up via HDMI from their boxes.

It is a great package with a lot of HD channels and his internet is very fast (all in one package). If it was available in my neighborhood I'd stick with DTV. I'm not convinced on this IPTV thing. I mean how could you get all that bandwidth over a phone line? Anyone know how this exactly works?

Fiber.

Yeah fiber to a box in his complex then it is standard phone line to his condo.

I dont know about U-verse, but i know FiOS works very well in fact some people on this board have said that it brings better PQ than D*,

The broadband speeds with Vz's (FTTH/FTTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_premises)) FiOS service is :eek2: :eek2: . Vz's FiOS has the fastest residential broadband speeds i have ever sceen in the US.

so i know Vz's IPTV WORKS DONT KNOW ABOUT U-VERSE THO.
