the thing i don’t like about speed & spike HD (currently carried by Direct & not dushnetwork) is that its not 24/7 HD they only broadcast certain shows in hd…which is BS to me…either go all the way or don’t. half ass’ed isn’t cutting it.  
thats the one of the draw backs to directTV…from what i’ve read their compression isn’t the best so the quality is so-so & even though they do have a quickly growing HD lineup, not all the channels are 24/7 HD like the majority of Dish.
