Well, I finally got my 6000 system for a really good price as a current subscriber. The reason I finally took the plunge.
So what's up with the DOS looking Guide? I had a Dishplayer and the menu for the 6000 is a travesty in comparison. I mean I don't even get a small picture of the show for the channel I am on when in the guide. Is anything regarding the look of the software going to be updated?
Also, what do you think about non-HD content with the Dish 6000 when output through the RGB or component outs? Do most of you watch it this way or swtich to SD on the satelite and use S-video?
I still have the Dishplayer 7200 and am not sure if I want to keep it. I loved pause and recording with it. I don't need the other receiver on another TV so it is hooked up to the same TV as the 6000 for the moment. I guess I might sell it, but I hate that since I have Personal TV free for the next 2 years. Ugh... Decisions...
This is one reason I was asking about the quality of the 6000 on SD material. I figured if the 6000 is no better at SD output than my Dishplayer, I would keep my Dishplayer and use it for all the regular stuff.
Thanks for any input,
C. Ryan
