After seeing about 1,080 ads for DISH Network's new 1080p video-on-demand service, we just had to know: Does the satellite provider really deliver on its promise of "Blu-ray quality?"

DISH 1080p immediately impressed me. Speed Racer's brilliant colors and intricate details looked fantastic whether I was watching the satellite or the disc. Flipping back and forth between the two sources while sitting at a normal viewing distance, I could detect only subtle differences. In fact, I couldn't be sure I was seeing any difference at all, since the movie's frantic action made it hard to judge picture quality. Even if I was seeing a difference, I wasn't sure which source was better.
