Last night I watched "I Am Legend" in 1080p/24 on Dish.
Before the movie started the screen goes blank for about ten seconds while the receiver does a quick test of your display to make sure it can handle the 1080p signal. Although the video quality was quite good, the audio was clearly not as good as Blu-ray. Once you have been spoiled with lossless/uncompressed, regular DD just isn't the same. So, Blu-ray will remain my first choice for movies available on BD, then Dish HD would be my second choice, followed by regular DVDs.
