As an unbiased observer, here is my opinion :
Pros of SD : Low monthly cost, provides usb recording, has sports and English channels even on lower packs, good pq.
Cons of SD: transponder crunch, low hd channels, low roi channels, time based channels (like KIX being removed after Copa America).
Pros of TS: High HD channels count, good pq, high number of roi channels, STBs manufactured by renowned companies (like Samsung, Technicolor), offers 500gb dual tuner DVR, have surplus TP space.
Cons of TS: Higher cost, Ten network is an addon.
Do you guys agree?
