Official Shaw Direct Vs. Bell Satellite Thread

[hugh]

In days gone past the one thread that was sure to spark fireworks was to ask the question, which is better StarChoice or ExpressVu? By early 2005, the general consensus among HD and PVR owners seemed to be ExpressVu had the edge primarily due to having a PVR and more HDTV channels.

In December 2005, I started the Star Choice Vs. ExpressVu - Which is Superior? thread for folks to battle out which system they thought was superior.

The results when I closed the thread today was ExpressVu 41%, SC at 34%, 12% said it depends on your requirements and 13% said they didn't know.

Since much has changed since 2005, I thought it time to start this new thread so my question going into the summer of 2007 is which system do you think is superior and WHY - ExpressVu or Star Choice?

If you sell or service either system or work for either company, please state that in your answer or you will be ridiculed when it is found out and your posts deleted.

When answering think about pricing, programming, equipment, service and the intangibles and please leave out the rhetoric and the rants!

Lets remember that one system may not be best for everyone so try and keep that in mind.

Finally, if you found this thread and are interested in which system is superior, I recommend you first glance through the thread listed above because it is still a source of a lot of good information when making a decision.
