I find it easier to just find another show to watch if the lip sync is bad enough to bother me. Even if I had presets, "Oh, I'm watch channel 227, I need preset 1." I watch my show, turn everything off, then go to bed. The next day, the better half gets up, turns on the TV and goes to channel...

I hope they found SOME solution in the last 20 years. ETA: Even if this was a current a problem, adding a dedicated audio delay isn't going to work for an intermittent problem. Unless the user has some way to turn it on/off. Then you'd have to remember to turn it on/off when you go away from...

Did you reboot the receiver? I would think it's either the receiver or the tuner. Rebooting the receiver should restart both of them. You could reseat the tuner and leave the receiver on. I'm guessing it's not a cable issue. That would explain channel pixelization and drop out, not changing...

Did you ever try hooking up the antenna feed to the TV and having it scanning for channels?

But are they HD? ;)

Who doesn't have locals?

1080 vs 720 doesn't really matter on compression. You can take a 1080 signal, only dedicate 1Mb to it, and it will look like crap. Same with 720.

Can you connect a splitter and also feed the antenna to the TV as well as Dish? This is more for troubleshooting. Then, when you have the loss of signal message, switch over to the TV and see if it's having problems. I'm guessing, based on the "multiple channels" issue, it's probably cabling...

*I* understand that. Just saying it might be worth it to temper OP's expectations.

I'm not sure how to suggest this, but if he's picking up the signals relatively well with a cheapy indoor, I would think you don't want too strong of an outdoor antenna. I agree a better antenna would be needed (ideally the local stations never break up), but getting TOO much signal to the TV...

Just to be clear, this is what the connection from the OTA antenna should look like: Assuming it's connected to the Dish receiver, you unscrew it from there (don't get confused with the line coming from the satellite dish) and connect it to the TV (there should only be one spot to connect it on...

Speaking as someone who cut the cord a year ago (after 20+ years with Dish), while you don't have rain fade to deal with, if your internet goes out, you might have to jump through some hoops to watch TV (at least on large screens). Anything cellular connected should still be good.

Thank you. Principle is still the same. I'm fairly confident Dish is brining in the 1.0 signals, no real reason to get the 3.0, much less send on to customers.

What is 'tpt"? Are they the owners? Second, the way the conversion to ATSC 3.0 generally works is one station in the market will become the "light house". They shutoff their ATSC 1.0 transmitter. They ship (probably via fiber, possibly microwave) some of their signals to other stations...

Other channels (locals & Nick) had no issues.

I'm staying a hotel that uses Dish (at least there's a Dish logo on their guide channel). I've tuned in Fox Business the last two night, and both nights have had video that would play for ~10-15 seconds, then "glitch" (freeze then restart). Lip sync was off really bad also. Did not have any...

Agreed. But even having the marks you described can still be off because if the footer is slightly off from where it originally was, the marks aren't going to be right. Granted, you're going to be in the ballpark, but I'd still expect no signal when originally lined up with the marks. Who is...

Can you take the foot plate off the roof without moving the mast? If not, do another mark (or two) at the pivot point between the mast and the foot plate like 'A' above. In theory, if you can take the the foot plate off the roof without changing ANYTHING on the Dish, AND be able to put it back...

Note that the post you quoted said the subchannel guide info MAY not be included. When I was with Dish, we got guide data for some subs, but not others.

These two sentences jumped out at me. Leaders should get good people under them that know their jobs and can advise the leader. Leaders need to listen to their people AND encourage, inspire, and support their people to do the best job possible. Leaders also take care of their part of the...

I guess someone at the network (as part of the contract) gives the commercial information to Dish.... Break 1 will be at 8:13 from the start of the show and last 2:35. Break 2 will be at 14:53 and last 3:05. Etc. Once they have that information, it would be "easy" to program the skips.

Once again, MOST (granted, not all) people can get OTA for FREE by putting up an antenna. MANY people don't want to do that. Doesn't mean it doesn't work. Second, OTA broadcasters do NOT get the spectrum for free. With a handful of exceptions, they had to pay to purchase the spectrum from...

Once again, someone who thinks it's better to have ZERO guide data than 12 hours worth. Regarding the "key metadata", where do you think the metadata comes from? The channel sends the data to guide providers. Do you think it's actually programmed to send metadata x, y, and z to guide...

Step one in troubleshooting should be sending the antenna feed to your TV (or other receiver). More than likely, TV reception will be fine. TOO much signal could disrupt the receiver. Dish's tuners seem to be more sensitive than other tuners.

Isn't that the "dongle"?
