Poor sattelite picture quality

I've had both The Dish Network as well as DirecTV. On a similar TV (also a Toshiba, but a slightly smaller screen), DirecTV looked excellent. This followed a wretched experience with the picture I'd endured on the same TV with The Dish Network. You may want to ask your ISF tech if there can be differences between and among various satellite providers. If so, you could get a basic DirecTV system for 50 bucks, or a dual-LNB system for around $100.

direct TV programming is primarily all on one satellite therefore to accomplish this they are compressing the signal more aggressively than dish network is because there programming is on three different satellites. My dish network signal is much better than my direct TV signal, there are less compression artifacts on dish network. The worst direct TV signal is on channel 380 CBS East usually about 10 a.m. Pacific time.
