    Blocking and Pixilation on HWS Big 4 Channels Only

    Looks similar to this http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/hws-pixelating-problem.347770/ At first I thought it was the Big Four as well. But then I observed the problem on other channels.

    HWS Pixelating Problem

    I see the same problem. Live TV and recorded. I can't correlate it to any specific channel or anything else. I callled Dish support and they replaced my dish and cabling nonetheless the problem still occurs. Appears to be totally random.

    Adding 129 to the 110/119/61.5 mix-legacy eqpt?

    If you try this I'd be interested in knowing whether or not you can tune to the even Tp channels on 129. I have a legacy 110/119/129 setup and can't get any even Tp 129 channels (Rave Kungfu ... a fwe others). See this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=70246 I am convinced...

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Thanks. I priced the equipment on a couple of common dish websites and got $150. I didn't try eBay - I will.

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    At this point I am very convinced that this is a software bug. Can one of the admins please help me get this reported to Dish Network?

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Thanks BobaBird. The advice on DP switches and LNBFs definitely helps Yes this has always been a problem for me. My 622 is only about 6 weeks old. I have had 2 software versions on it - 357 and 359

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Yes, my other 2 receivers are not HD. The HD programs on the even channels show up normally on the guide. When I click "OK" to the view them they say "Error - Check Switch. There is problem with your switch...." There are actually only a few even Tp channels on 129 (Rave HDNews KungFu HGTVHD...

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Thanks for going to the trouble to check this! Ahhh...that makes sense Thanks. Did you actually try to tune to the channels on the even Tps on 129 (eg Rave)? Or just take signal readings for the Tps and verifiy that they are in the guide? The reason that I ask is that I can take...

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Sorry, you're right. "Menu 6, 1, 1" not "Menu 6, 2, 2" - typo. I did a "Check Switch." - details not available - just tried it. Maybe I'm missing something?

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Thanks SmityWity, Menu 6, 2, 2 "Details" simply isn't available on the 622. (at least on mine) Menu 6, 1, 3 does include "Details" but the details don't include odd/even status. Yes, I have L359. For reference: I did complete a check switch and it shows all 3 satellites green. On the 622 I...

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    SmityWhity I can't find any button on the 622 that shows even/odd results. I do recall seeing this button on my 942 and 811. Given my experiments measuring the voltage at the output I'm quite convinced it's the 622 software. Nonetheless I'll try what you suggest and I'd very much appreciate...

    Is anyone able to watch satellite 129 even Tp channels with a 622 legacy LNB setup

    Is anyone able to watch even transponder channels on satellite 129 with a 622 legacy LNBF/switch setup? I have a 622 with a legacy quad LNBF on a Dish 500 for 110/119 and a legacy dual LNBF on a Dish 300 pointed at 129. These go through 2 SW21s to feed my 622. I can't receive any even...

    ViP622 Satellite 129 Tp 30 Problems in CA

    Well, I can no longer see 61.5 due to trees that have grown since last I had a dish there. I'm back on 129 with the same problem. Signal strength at 70+ on TP30 but "check switch" every time I switch to a TP30 channel (Rave, HDNews, KungFu, etc). I'd love to hear any ideas. I know 129 is...

    ViP622 Satellite 129 Tp 30 Problems in CA

    I changed grounds, tweaked the dish, removed switches etc. Today I replaced the LNBF. No difference. This weekend I will be swinging my dish over to 61.5 (where, oddly enough, I had it 5 years ago, until they put CBSHD-W on 148). This dish went 61.5->148->129 and now it will go back to 61.5

    ViP622 Satellite 129 Tp 30 Problems in CA

    I have a ViP622. Dish 500 for 110/119. Dish 300 for 129. I get signal of 70+ for all Transponders on the 129 satellite *but* every time I tune to the 3 channels on Transponder 30 (Rave, HDNews, KungFu), I get "Check Switch". I run Check Switch and everything checks out, I look at Point Dish and...

    Dish Model 811 - P2.89 Software Update

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have all of my hardware plugged into a power filter so everything is plugged into the same socket. Also, the problem is only present when watching SD source material (through any of the outputs - composite, component, s-video) not when watching HD material...
