    Help with a Joey connected by WiFi experiencing intermittent pixelation, audio dropouts and stutteri

    Thanks for the feedback thus far. The Joey interface shows a wireless connection strength of between 50-60. This doesn't seem to change around when events are occurring. I'm thinking of trying the suggestion of upgrading the access point. I'd like one with 1000m LAN ports anyway.

    Help with a Joey connected by WiFi experiencing intermittent pixelation, audio dropouts and stutteri

    Preface I just want to start this post by saying I realize this is a completely unsupported solution and understand this what I get. Hardwired via coax or cat5/6 is not a solution for me in this situation. I've done some research via searches here but have not found specific answers to the...

    DISH-Northwest Broadcasting

    I'm really getting tired of this dispute. If I have to watch the Seahawks playoff game this weekend in staticky SD or at the bar I'm going to be very very angry.

    Hopper install / HIC question

    I'm scheduled for a 1H/2J install at a new location. I will not have wired network available at any of the receiver locations. I have broadband into a wireless router(no chance of running wired connection to any receiver location) in my office. I'm assuming the only way to supply Internet...

    Dish Home Protection Plan Questions

    Very true. This really makes little sense for their business to allow this but it is doable and there are never any questions asked.

    Temp Move TX to WA

    Charter is the only cable provider in the area and their service is awful. As far as I understand it they offer no HD whatsoever. Maybe you could get service from whoever provides cable to Osooyos.

    dish.sling.com

    The program is in limited beta at the moment meaning they are allowing a slow trickle of people. You should get a invitation via email when you are able to access the service. It took nearly three weeks for my invitation when I signed up however this was more than a month ago.

    dish is on the way out

    6 days doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I had to wait 4 when we had some serious winds that knocked my dish out of alignment. Believe it or not I actually survived. Sure I sat drooling and staring at a black screen for those 4 days but I made it.

    Channels In the new TURBO HD pkgs

    Dish does such a horrible job of advertising all around. The confusing mess that is their ever changing mess of programming packages is just one good example.

    Can someone recommend a PCI HDTV tuner for Dish?

    There are some cards available that can take in component video. They aren't cheap either but you could probably put together some kind of solution with one of them. Example: Canopus Pegasus

    Cable Run Lengths and PQ

    1. Still using the same channel #? You'll find changing the channel you modulate the signal on may give varying results. 2. Check out this post.

    Fish tape vs. fiberglass fish rods for DIY cable installation??

    If you've only got a few runs, trying to save pennies, and not going to have negotiate very long or complicated sections a unwrapped metal clothes hanger or a tape measure might work.

    Speaking about Compression ...

    Have you watched a properly encoded H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video? Once you rip out all the other language tracks, DVD Extra's etc... 1.5 GB for two hours of footage can create a fairly decent picture.

    622 Hdmi Dq

    I've had a few volume issues as well as quite a few sync problems on mpeg4 locals. As far as I can tell it is only an issue when hd content is being displayed. This is with hdmi, I will hook up components and see if I have similar issues. I'm hesitant to blame this entirely on the 622. I...
