Oh yeah, I saw it. Stretching the truth a bit, I'm sure.

this has already been discussed, and you figured it out in your own post. they said 1080p, same quality as blu-ray. never said anything about the quality of the picture

xtop makes a valid point. But yes, for the common ignorant consumer it is very misleading.

The whole "TurboHD" is very misleading

I've got dish network HD...nowhere near blu ray...super crappy advertising

I've always felt that Dish was pretty misleading / shadey with their marketing.

I didn't think there was anything, coax or whatever, that a sat or cable company could give you that could handle 1080p anyways. Nothing but HD sounds pretty cool.
