    Replacing 5 LNB whats my best option

    Need help I have been experiencing random pixilation only on mpeg4 channels on and off for about a year on all 3 of my stbs. It was bad last summer then after I moved in the fall it went away and I assumed it was due to the cables not being tightened down all the way. Now it's back, every...

    HR20 -22 MPEG4 lock up / pixelation

    How do I know which dish I have? I know it's 5 LNB. Is a multiswitch external to the switch onboard the LNB dish, I'm only using the 4 outputs provided on the dish right to the receivers.

    HR20 -22 MPEG4 lock up / pixelation

    Yes when the pixilation starts, when it gets really bad the audio drops out all together. The screen doesn't go com[pletely black, sometimes the picture still moves with artifacts of previous frames. I forgot to mention no trees or other obstructions blocking the dish, clear shot to the sky....

    Sunday Ticket HD

    Sorry if I'm a little slow on the uptake but my understanding was that Sunday Ticket games were available in HD if the original brodcast was HD. I only get the local games in HD though, none of the other games. Am I missing something or missinformed? Thanks for your feedback.
