    I just switched from comcast to Dish....

    No, i know about the star button. It's at normal view right now. I think the hd input to the receiver/house isn't as sharpe as it should be. I've concluded that this is not a user error nor a signal error. I called the dish guy and he went through the signals and said it was good. He's going to...

    Thanks Hall. People don't get that I do now what i'm doing but just not a TV/cable freak who is aware of all the terminologies. It's set up correctly. It appears to me that the pics i'm getting might be a bit larger than what i was gettign through comcast. That kind of explains the non-sharp...

    My TV is setup for 1080 16:9.. Always been set that way and it worked fine for Comcast. I can't believe that what worked for comcast (I dind;t really have to adjust much) doesn't work for Dish. IF it should be set a different way for dish then let me know what it should be set to. I'm certain...

    haha.. yup... i set it to show hd channels only. The local HD channels 2,3,4,5 7 etc are worst than the cable channel;s i.e. food network.. discovery.. hbo.. show etc..

    yup.. it's at normal... but even at normal it looks bigger than with comcast. The pics aren't clear and crisp.. I've even try viewing with the grey and black boxes on the sides and it's still bad.

    I just switched from comcast to Dish....

    i'll have to try putting the 211 on my TV. The 211's are on one HDTV and one on Standard. I plan to upgrade so they gave me the HD since it's downconvertable. The other TV has always had mediocre pics so i chalked it up as TV problem. But my TV worked well in HD with comcast so i expected the...

    I just switched from comcast to Dish....

    And my Dish HD 722I picture is very poor compared to comcast! I recently changed from comcast to dish and have some HD TV's. I have the 722 and a couple of the 211's. The picture quality on my sony bravia 52" in HD is pretty bad. I dare to say that it's worst than on my standard TV set and even...
