Hello all.
I've had a recurring problem with my ViP 722 for some time now (at least a few months.) Searches throughout many forums have yielded no results, and few similar problems.
This does not happen frequently, but is very annoying when it does. When watching and OTA HD broadcast, with the OTA antenna going into my 722, there are spots of jumpy video, that is to say it looks like some lost frames... I apologize for not having a better description. It will happen for just a second or two, and often during close-ups or other scenes that (I imagine) have a lot of information to process. The audio is fine, no problems there. This was most noticeable during college basketball on my local CBS affiliate, however, I have recently seen it on at least two of other my local channels as well (NBC and FOX.) With the OTA antenna going directly into my display (Panasonic TH-50PZ77U) the picture is perfect, no jumpy or choppy video at all. I have only seen this problem with the OTA HD signals coming into the 722.
My 722 is set to 1080i and connected to my set via component (YPbPr) cables. I have tried all other resolution settings of the 722 (720p, 480p, etc.) and also tried connecting via HDMI, all to no avail. I should also note that using the "skip-back" procedure to rewind a short distance and watch the program using the buffer does not help either. Skipping backwards after seeing the jumpy video results in seeing the same jumpy video in the exact same spot again.
I am in the Lansing, MI DMA.
A couple of short conversations with Dish Network techs have provided no results. They simply left it at the problem being in the way the 722 is handling the signal. I am much appreciative of any help. Thank you!
