I have a very old receiver and dish - a Sony circa 1999. I'm happy with it, don't need bells and whistles, but I'm wondering what I'm missing and thinking of upgrading. My TV is HD ready. But DirectTV doesn't offer many HD channels (and I don't watch sports), so is it worth it?
I don't have a DVR. My friends all rave about them, but I don't mind flipping around during commercials and wouldn't bother to wait 15 minutes to start watching a show just so I can skip them. I mostly watch movies.
I keep hearing problems with receivers, and customer service, etc. Am I better off just sticking with the old system I have? If not what should I get? What kind of deal should I be able to get from DirectTV? I have been a customer since 1999 and have never received any freebies.
Also do the newer dishes help with reception? I seem to lose reception during heavily cloudy/rainy days more often lately.
Help please!
