Dish Network customers (also Direct TV)?

Question

Dish:  When you're watching regular TV (not HD) and there are those bars on the side, what color are they?

Dish:  For DVR, how many programs can you have scheduled in the queue?  This is not storage space, but the shows you have scheduled to record.  Example, Direct TV allows 50 shows in the queue. Cable seems to be unlimited, which is really nice, so all our favorite shows will just record as soon as they return in the fall, spring, summer, with no need to add/delete anything.  

Dish and Direct TV:  If you have experiences with Dish vs. Direct TV, tell me your opinions.  Like? Dislike?

Hi, I will happy to answer you questions about DISH. When you are watching an SD channel on an HD channel, the side bars can be grey or black. You do have the ability to stretch the picture to fit the screen if you like. On our ViP HD receivers, you set up timers which will allow shows to be recorded and you can up to 96 timers set at any one time. I have only ever deleted timers for shows that have been cancelled since I do not want the reruns. 

I normally recommend that if Sports in HD is very important to you, then DIRECT will be a better fit. DISH has several national HD channels that are not available on DIRECT. Good luck and if I can assist you further, please email me directly. Thank you!
