Well if you're seeing the same thing OTA then it must be CBS. Hopefully they step it up for the tournament because it looked great last year.

That could be, I might be so used to the horrible picture that any improvement blows me away. The picture quality is better though. I'm sure it could be even better, but this at least is good enough that I'll stick with the service. If it continues to look like it did Tuesday though, I'll...

I'm currently watching the Cavs vs. Celtics game on ESPN and the picture is spectacular. Even other channels such as CBS are looking much better. I don't know if Dish did something or if the culprit was the network's transmission all along. I hope this keeps up. If the NCAA tournament looks...

Didn't go with D* because they wanted me to sign a 24 month commitment, with E* I just paid the installation fee and don't have to worry about getting stuck with a cancellation fee.

That's too bad, hopefully people will start to realize that more HD isn't necessarily better. PQ was one of the main reasons I switched to Dish from Uverse and will probably look to another provider if Dish doesn't correct the problem. Thing is, my only other option is Comcast and aside from...

I was watching Christmas Vacation on Cinemax last night and it was pretty bad. Might be because it was a older movie being upconverted, but the artifacts were bad. Cinemax had normally been good up to that point.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm pretty sure I have the settings correct on my 722. I have it set to 1080i with a picture size of 16x9. I do have an older HDTV as I have one of old Sony Wega picture tube TVs that is HD ready. I'm not sure if its now older technology that would pick up on...

That may be true, but basketball games on ESPN had been pretty good picture wise up until early January. The last game I watched was MSU v. Indiana on Tuesday and I've never seen so many compression artifacts before. The "Indiana" lettering on the baselines was literally moving. This was...

Hey everyone, been a lurker for a while now and have decided to start posting. I've been with Dish for almost 8 months now and have been pretty happy so far. I have the VIP 722 DVR with the HD package. One thing I've been noticing lately is that the quality of the HD channels has been going...
