Glad I still have an antenna. The picture quality dish CBS, TNT, TBS and TRU are awful compared to CBS OTA. Just sad how low of a priority a good quality picture has become. I'm watching on 75inch TV but still. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

If there was ever a time to compare PQ between the two, this is a good one. WCCO, CBS in Minneapolis, OTA is no comparison, much better quality. Dish CBS, TNT and TBS all look pretty similar with artifacts, major loss of detail and lots of softness. As I flip between multiple games it's nice to...

Just had this happen for the first time. Searched around and didn't find it discussed anywhere. Went to record a program and received a pop up stating "Creation of this timer may cause a conflict for Joey XXXX. Do you want to create this timer on Hopper XXXX. This would be the hopper that...

About a month or so ago the local FOX station in Minneapolis made a bunch of changes to their 9 & 29 subchannels. The Dish guide on my hoppers has been incorrect since and so I can't record OTA on those channels. I contacted DIRT and they put in a request but just checking to see if others...

Seriously, how bad can the PQ get? There is so little detail and over-compression that many times players faces are just a solid blur of the same color, and this is not even during fast motion. Can't even tell if they have eyes or a mouth. It's like they have noise reduction cranked up to 11...

Now that football season is up and running and new fall shows are about to start I've been watching more OTA channels. I have noticed that sometimes (40% of the time?) that when I tune to an OTA channel it will not lock, rather it drops out every 3 second or so. If I switch channels and then...

Anyone else noticed this issue? Seems to be referenced here https://support.dish.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5999&start=10 Hopper is connected to Onkyo 818 via HDMI. This receiver is new, replaced an Onkyo 706 which had the same issue. If I change the channel and back it gets 5.1 Dolby.

This last week we have had 3 instances where we could not play recordings from one hopper via the other. Two times the video could be seen but no audio. The other time there was only audio from the recording, the video showing was the current tuned channel on the hopper. Each time it was late at...

I started a separate thread to continue on with a tangential discussion in another thread, http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/297239-Hopper-S229-S230-Feedback!/page76 In regard to compression issue I would say it really depends on how big the difference is. And you and I may see more than...

Anyone else getting major pixilation/drop outs on all locals fro Minneapolis on 129? It appears to only be the one transponder as my other channels appear fine. Watching NFL today the PQ seemed worse than normal with even more compression that typical I thought. And now for the last hour all...

With two hoppers am I able to schedule recordings on the other hopper or can it only see recorded programs?

I'm serious considering switching over to Direct because I think the HR34 system may be better for our needs. Can anyone over on the Dish side of things point out reasons why I should NOT switch? Yes, being a new Direct customer it would be cheaper each month as well as upfront costs. I...

Currently with Dish and looking at getting two hoppers or switching over to Direct with HR34. I have 4 HDTVs so my thought is to get the HR34 and 3 HD receivers, along with the AM21 for OTA. With this my assumptions are: - 5 tuners, so 5 things can be recorded at one time, and 5 remains the...

Anyone else notice slight audio sync issues on ESPN the last week or two. I haven't spent much time watching TV the past couple weeks, but noticed it a while back. Watching tonight it was still there, on multiple receivers. I'm on WA.

I seem to have noticed even worse PQ on ESPN (is that possible :D) over the last few days. Don't get me wrong, the PQ for ESPN on Dish has been very subpar for a very, very long time so I think both Dish and ESPN are to blame. But both NFL and NBA on ESPN have been very bad recently and I've...

I pretty much expected this since when they show SD content on the channel the macroblocking is terrible. But for the Miss St / Wash game, on the wide court shots you cannot even make out the eyes, nose and mouth on any player that is moving. The players look like characters from South Park...

Since so many people are wondering if there TV will accept the new 1080p24 "I am Legend" download, I found this. Displays that support 1080p/24 signal at multiplies of the original frame rate - AVS Forum Note, everyone can watch the download, just not at 1080p24. If your set does not...

I know there are a lot of things that go into the PQ differences people see on various channels. But I want this thread to stay focused on those using the 622 or 722 on a 1080i display (CRT) with the 622 set to output 1080i. I have a well calibrated 57" RP CRT and I view from about 10.5ft...

It seems an awful lot of people got the corrupted hard drive error last night and needed to reboot. Some have said it had nothing to do with the latest software release going out but to me it seems highly coincidental that so many people reported the problem last night (late Wed night to Thurs...

Can someone confirm my thoughts on how the channel locks work. From what I can tell, if I lock a channel it will not record an event on that channel unless I have unlocked it. So if I'm away from home, any locked channels will not record. Correct? Do the shows that get recorded on a locked...
