Is there anyone out there who has seen a DishNetwork or DirectTV Highdef PPV (or HBO) movie AND ALSO have a nice progressive DVD/720p setup with the same movie?

If so, I was wondering how much improvement the HD version has over the progressive DVD.

I saw a sweet Bugs Life demo at a retailer with a $2500 progressive DVD/720p hookup and was just amazed. It's hard to imagine what the HighDef version could be much better.

Bug's Life is always used as a demo because it is CGI direct to DVD and looks deceivingly good. I'm not sure HDTV could look better with it. You should test filmed sources on the equipment for a real comparison.
