Rebooting was obviously the first thing I tried. After realizing that both of my neighbors had the same problem, I contacted 7&4. It happens on 9&10/fox 32, but not nearly as often.

It's not happening on Charter Cable, hooked to the same tv. It happens every 5 minutes or so. A "brrrriipppp" sound, then silence for a second. Then the sound catches up. It's maddening.

I contacted 7&4 on September 30th about this issue, as they seem to be the worst offenders. This was their reply: Subject: RE: WPBN contact us submission - Programming We are working on the problem with Direct TV but we are not yet sure whose end has the problem.

I live in Northern Michigan. My quest for National CBS is due to my local affiliate (WWTV) broadcasting their digital signal at low power. My brother in-law lives in Warren and mocks me with his clip-on dish antenna that scores him all the networks in HD.

I wonder why you weren't approved for CBS-HD. WWJ is an Owned and Operated station, and shouldn't have given you any hassle about it.

Drawing on my experience with the 811, may I offer up 911 as a possible name?

I thought I was nuts seeing the brightness pulsate on DiscHD. I tried pointing it out to my son and he couldn't see it. I even watched the forums for mention of it and saw nothing. It seems very obvious to me, why isn't everyone complaining about it?

There's a big thread on AVSForums about it. It looks like for most of the country, the premiere of LAX had no dialogue at all! Quite impressive for NBC/Universal.

I wonder if Mr. Kring realizes that I wouldn't have "moved" my physical address to the Grand Rapids DMA if his station was available on Dish. I don't watch his station at all because of his refusal to consent to retransmission.

Classic Dish customer service to put up a notice like this without fully explaining it. I hope their phones are slammed again.

The penalty for early termination is only about $250 isn't it? You could make twice that by putting your 811 on eBay.

I'm not understanding this. I get WCBS as a distant network for $1.50. That will not be interrupted? WCBS-DT WILL be interrupted? I only get the distant to get the HD feed. Guess I wait till midnight and see what stays on.

I got my 61.5 dish installed for free. The installer put it up and then argued with Dish about the $100 charge. They waived it after he made up some hooey about me telling him to yank it off the house and shove it. Needless to say, I was pretty happy with my install job. Delayed twice, but worth...

Is there any chance that the small second dish for Traverse City locals might be aimed at 61.5?

I took advantage of the 811+2 301s deal from Dish and I've been very happy with it. After the usual bugs with the 811, it's actually working great right now. I may have to relocate to an apartment really soon, and it may not be possible to mount the dish facing southwest. I know there is a $240...

I've only had my Series 1 Tivo and Dish 301 hooked up for a week but it seems to work fine. No missed channels yet (much better that my Motorola cable box). I am getting a weird hum thats driving me nuts. No one else can hear it but me. It's probably a patch cable routed too close to a power...

Zoom works good on component, Weather is activated, but the update zapped my HD Package channels. Still get CBS-HD and HBO-HD, Nothing else. time to call Dish.

I just had an 811 installed today. No locals in my area, but I qualify for CBS HD. The installer added the different LNB and switch to my work order at no charge cause I had a D* dish to use for the wing sat. When the installer got here this morning, he decided that my old dish wouldn't work...

Dish left a message for the installer to call and tell me if they are coming or not tomorrow. So if he doesn't get around to it tomorrow, I've missed a second day of work in the name of television.

First the installer, now I'm on hold with Dish. He's calling the installer. Hopefully this will help.

Dish rescheduled my Friday(12/5) install because they hadn't received their shipment of 811 boxes. I called them yesterday to confirm my Wednesday rescheduled installation, and they informed me that they may not be able to make it because "We're way too busy". Calls to them today have not been...

I thought I was in the clear. No call by 5:00, and They called at 6:00.

He says they'll have it on Monday, for a Wednesday install. Guy seems pretty cool, even told me what to tell Dish to get the 61.5 doohickeys for free. He's going to hook up my ancient Sony B1 D* Dish with it so I can get CBS and HBO. So I guess I can't complain.

They tried to rescedule yesterday, but the manager called me back and assured me they'd have an 811 for Friday. Today he called and said they never shipped it. Got the 61.5 switch and LNB thingie added on to the work order at no charge though!

To paraphrase the late Jonathan Harris "Oh the pain, the pain...". Due to the unavailability here in Northern Michigan, I have to wait till Wednesday. I guess it could be worse.
