A couple of weeks ago, a nice friendly Dish tech came out to our house and "upgraded" us to a new single dish which now picks up 61.5, 72 and 77. Not long after he left we started getting "Partial Signal Loss" and sometimes even "Full Signal Loss" messages on a perfectly clear day. While...

Perhaps Fox changed the length of their breaks and the sat providers didn't get the memo. And as for the "cool-aid drinkers"... of course they all come out during discussions of Fox News. No one watches their news channels, so there's never any discussions about them. Shepard Smith said it...

If the break were simply shifted by mis-timed tones, then we'd be seeing the beginning of Fox's commercial before the Dish commercial kicked in, yes? We're not seeing that. Either way, I'm glad to see that it may be fixed.

Sooo... your cable/sat provider's ineptitude influences what channels you watch? Yeah, that makes sense.

Nope, I don't think that's it. The Dish ads seem to start on time perfectly. When they're over, for example, the host is in the middle of a question for a guest that has already been introduced and welcomed to the show. It's running long by 15 or 30 seconds probably. This happened before at...

No but they'll log the call, and point me in the right direction. It's actually a sad thing that the only contact we have can't help when we try to point out that they are doing something wrong that is negatively impacting their programming. If a paying customer calls in to tell them there's a...

This was a problem several years ago. I'm not sure who the twits are that let this happen and can't do simple arithmetic, but it is highly annoying. At about 20 minutes past the hour, FNC has a hard network break, where Dish and other cable / sat providers can run their own commercials. There...

They used to have a problem on Fox News where their (Dish's) commercials would end 30 seconds later than the actual break. I called their tech support people up and they swore to me that they didn't play commercials and that it was Fox's fault. For weeks I tried unsuccessfully to educate them...

So, when it comes to who has the best content you watch Fox, but if everyone is showing exactly the same thing, you'll switch to whoever has the best picture and sound. I got it. Why not watch a local channel? Aren't those in HD too? Well, apparently that's not true either. At least in the...

That wouldn't have anything to do with CNN being in 2 million + more households would it? Probably not. I'm curious to see what happens to the ratings now that Fox is on AT100.

The ratings speak for themselves. Note two things: 1) Fox News is #1 in every category 2) Fox News is #3 in household penetration (see the very bottom of the report) Nielsen Ratings: Cable News TV Ratings for Monday, January 26, 2009

What are the 4 Rainbow channels?

I thought MonstersHD had a beautiful picture on it.

I signed up for Fios internet service the other day and told them that if they can secure Monsters HD in their line up I would switch to them instantly. The lady sounded intrigued when I described what the channel was. She said she would definitely look into it and get back to me. I don't...

What would cause this? Weak signal? Faulty transponder? I wonder if everyone is seeing the breakups at exactly the same time.

For some reason, when we watch Bravo HD, it has this problem where it keeps locking up, going blocky for a few seconds with no sound, and then snaps back to being normal. When we switch back to Bravo normal SD, there's no problem. As far as I can see, Bravo HD is the only channel where this...

Thanks, Dirtydan. I'll ignore the peanut gallery. :p

Hi. This is my first post here, so please be nice to me. ;) I noticed today that my Fox News Channel on Dish Network seems almost like the bit rate has gone down or something. I'm seeing all sorts of artifacts around picture edges that I've never seen before (and we watch FNC a LOT). Did...
