Yes..........Directv's default fast forward is 30slip I think.......In the smartsearch search 30skip and it will instantly forward 30 seconds. I hate the 30slip.

OneSickPup........I sent you a PM

That was my MAIN REASON for leaving DISH. I wanted to stay but HD channels kept pixelating as if a SEVERE STORM was near. But it would be perfect conditions outside. The guy above stated that he got a second dish installed and it solved his problem...........Um.......Three Dish tech visits to my...

Wow......What a nightmare!!!!!!! Sorry to hear that happened!

I was worried about the D* dvr issue when I recently switched to D* from E*based on what I have read, but really, its not an issue at all. Its not bad at all. There are some differences, the 622 is faster but I work around that instead of using the up and down arrow to navigate the guide, I use...

Stargazer I've had three service calls in the past three months. None of them ultimately solved my problem. So fed up, I got online and did alot of math and figured I could save about 30 to 40 dollars a month with D* even though I have to pony up 316 dollars for 2 hd dvr receivers. Short term...

After almost 4 years of E*, I ordered Direct today.

Rich, WOW....You must really LOVE DISH!

I don't think allowing an on time loyal customer who wants to upgrade an HD DVR is unreasonable especially if you sign another contract with them. I don't see how that's demanding free ALL THE TIME.

Hey Levi Thanks. Here's my question. This 129 from what I have read is a problem. But like Jeff in INDY says above, He has no issues. That's what I don't get! Why is the Dish Network forum not flooded with people having issues with this if its as bad as it is? I mean, I certainly am having...

Jeff, so you're getting absolutely no signal loss or pixelization on HD channels? I'm willing to do that, since they have been out here three times and still having the same problem. I know nothing about satellites, though by reading on this forum, I am learning. they didn't offer me that...

Both my receivers are hooked to phone lines and my receiver doesn't reboot often like some experience. I have never gotten a call from Dish. Maybe its just a random process.

RGJ4vols I semi-agree with you. And aren't satellite companies competing with cable companies as well. I don't remember having to buy all this equipment to have cable. Maybe I'm wrong; I haven't had cable in forever.

Its actually worse now somewhat than it was before I had my Dish re-pointed by the third tech support trip. Levibluwa...What do ya think? I really do want to stay with Dish since I have two 622 HD Dvr's and I'm also bundled with my DSL. Just hate the hassle and extra expense of switching.

Yes, in Lexington...Why do you ask?

Wow, I had animal planet on around 5 pm ish eastern daylight time and I lost signal for the first time. I've seen occasional drop outs but this went on for a solid 4 minutes until it actually lost signal. Then back to beautiful picture as if nothings wrong, then an hour later, same thing on...

sunday july 13th @ 5:20 I lost Animal Planet HD just went through mega pixelation for 4 solid minutes; the worst I've seen it since I have been having the pixelization problem and its a beautiful calm day out. Happened on local earlier but not that bad

Yes, I will agree FCom911. I have learned tons just browsing this site. I had no clue what went on with the birds up there and really never gave it a second thought until I started having issues that tech guys couldn't resolve and that is when I googled for help and found this site and I'm glad...

129 is low, the others seem acceptable. Just to note based on what I have read in this forum, something is wrong with 129, so an unusually low signal is common. My signal strength on 129 fluctuates from 25 to 35

Well, I'm in Lexington KY and had three service calls the past few months for this. I've been reading and posting about my problem and no one mentioned anything about 129 being a sick bird. That explains my pixelization and drop outs on the HD channels and Locals. I've never had signal loss...

Well, this was the third time the tech came to my house with the pixelation I have been getting. They were getting very low signal on 129. He said my line of sight was great. So that apparently isn't an issue. He changed cables on Dish and did a few things on the Dish itself including...

What is OTA?

I'm having a tech out tomorrow because I'm getting occasional drop outs and pixelation on both my 622's but never to the point where it is "searching for signal" almost as if its on the cusp of the threshold of red. I've never had any probs with any updates as I've read in this post. This will...

Hey, I'm wondering the same thing. How do I check mine?

Dishcomm When you said "based on your description, thats an ongoing problem for a system that has never worked correctly." What did you mean by that? If I call the tech directly that gave me his card. Is his work warrantied or do I need to call Dish directly. I know it hasn't been 90 days and...
