Thanks guys, it's reassuring that others see the same things I do. I'm going to cancel D* and stick with my OTA, Netflix for the occasional DVDs and will probably buy a Roku for those slow evenings. This will cost me $15 a month with Netflix and that is more like it. I don't have a problem with...

You could have just avoided this thread but I guess there's always one that wants to derail a thread and would appreciate any further attitude towards my choice to not own a DVR. Thanks for turning this into yet another garbage thread and proving that you didn't even bother to read the original...

That's not what my post is about but to put it simply, it's my choice, I don't want to rely on a service that I have to, point of the post, pay more for that is as reliable as VCRs were. I've seen my friends pissed when something didn't record right or had audio problems or worse yet, lose their...

Yep, Sales Tax 0.33 and Programming Tax 9.96 and I live in Miami-Dade if that makes a difference. That $9.96 is on a $78 bill, can't wait for the $100+ bill.

Well here goes, I've been a D* user since 2000, in 2005 I went to E*, because at the time D* still didn't have it's new sat. up yet. Well E* was short lived for many reasons, so back to D* I went in 2006. I'm for the most part happy with D*, mind you I'm DVR'less, lol. I know, I know but a DVR...

Just wanted to update you guys. My new HDMI 1.3a spec cables arrived from Monoprice today, hooked one up and all is well. Gregg's comment got me to thinking and I did some digging and found my older AR cable to be 1.1 spec and of course my Oppo DVI to HDMI didn't present a problem. Thanks again...

Well just for grins and giggles I ordered two more HDMI cables from mono price. So if my Oppo cable, my Acoustic Research cable and these two new ones from monoprice give me the same results then my next move will be to get D* to replace the H21. Trying to get this done in 30 days is going to be...

I'm 99% sure it's the H21. I had my Oppo hooked up with an assortment of HDMI cables with no problem, albeit the Oppo really is a DVI to HDMI connection. In fact tomorrow I am going to test all inputs, component, HDMI and USB on this set. Then I'll test the H21 on all 3 HDMI inputs with...

Thank you so much rad. I tried the component cable and the picture is perfect. Looks like it's a problem with the HDMI connection on the H21. I don't know why I didn't try component sooner, guess I was on a one track thought and just needed a fresh perspective. Again, thank you.

Hmm, tried everything else so why not. I'll give component a shot and report back in a few.

I just purchased a Samsung LN40A550 and just love it! My Oppo upconvert player looks fantastic. I do however have a problem with D*, I think. I've hooked my Oppo to both HDMI inputs and the problem isn't there. It's only with my D* receiver, H21. I've hooked up an old bat wing and my OTA locals...

Well yesterday I was getting 60+ on tp19 and 23 but no picture. I just checked and over the last hour my signal strength on tp19 is 2 and on tp23 it's 0. So I called Dish Tech support again and this time I'm told there is nothing in the system about FL problems *sigh*. The only reason I came...

After logging in here this morning I called Dish Tech Dept. and canceled the tech visit. I wasn't going to waste the installers time or mine. As an added bonus the tech I spoke to had just got off the phone with someone else with the same problem. When I first started speaking with her she asked...

Yeah I'm kind of worried as well, since so many others have the problem. My luck, I'll get some hay seed out here tomorrow who will make things worse. I've been thinking about calling back tonight and canceling the Tech visit until I see what happens to some of you guys :D

Just went through 2 non-english CSRs and 4 disconnects :mad: I finally got ahold of the Tech dept. It seems 61.5 tp19 is the problem here, signal all over the place but even when it has a solid signal (above 60) I still don't see anything. All she could do was schedule a Tech to come out...
