    Losing HD channels

    This has happened more than once but we lose our hd channels of all channels with hd, local or national. Is this happening to anyone else? It is happening right now. It only seems to affect my vip622 not my 612. Is anyone else having this problem with 622?

    Where is the 1080p Setting under HDTV Setup?

    There have been 1080p televisions out for some time now. Why don't the receivers have a 1080p setting for TV type under the HDTV setup? Since they don't have such a choice, which is the better one to use if you have a 1080p tv, 720p or 1080i? Does it make a difference?

    Any movies with 7.1 audio?

    I have been looking around for any blu-ray movies that have a 7.1 soundtrack but all I have found is 5.1 PCM or Dolby True HD or DTS Master lossless audio 5.1. I may be wrong, but I thought I read on DTS site that DTS-HD Master Audio was capable of 7.1 as well as the Dolby True HD. Why aren't...

    More HD on NFLHD

    Everytime I turn on the NFLHD channel, I see nothing but SD programs. The NFL is a billion dollar business. Can't they afford HD cameras for their original programs? Does anyone know if there are plans to put shows like Total Access and others in HD similar to how ESPN has Sportscenter and its...

    Will I ever get a One-Dish solution?

    I need a one-dish solution to get all the HD channels. I was hoping with the new sat at 118.7 and the new dishes(500+), I would have my one-dish solution, but everything I have been reading tells me national HDs aren't moving to 118.7. I guess I will bide my time until the local cable company...

    Better HD picture Quality

    I own a Toshiba 52HM84 widescreen tv. Native 720p resolution. My dish receiver is an 811. On the receiver, I set my tv to 16:9, but I recently set the resolution to 1080i instead of 720p. When I did this, my picture quality actually improved quite a bit on the channels that broadcast in...

    is dc block necessary?

    I added a radioshack in-line amplifier to my OTA antenna. It is an indoor antenna (silver sensor) connected with a 30 ft piece of rg 6 coaxial . It really does not seem to boost my signal much if at all. Is the amplifier useless with this antenna? Does the dc block weaken the signal...
