Upgraded my system last week, had Dish come out and install a wing dish to get our HD locals off 61.5. (They converted my Dish 1000 to get only 110 and 119, and I installed a D500 getting 61.5 for HD Locals and other HD now.)
I have to say I think the quality is very good, better than I was expecting. I've been watching college football all day, and there is no discernible difference between OTA and HD Local on Dish, and I switched back and forth quite a few times.
I haven't sat there and put a microscope on it and went out of my way to find problems, but I think it looks GREAT from my normal seating distance. All four of the local HD's look great.
Just wanted to post something positive, so many negative posts lately. (Including some from me.)
It's SO nice with HD locals on dish too; instead of being able to record a single HD local at a time with OTA, now can do THREE, awesome.
The dual dishes are kinda kludgy looking, but it sure works good.
