First off, there's no effort or angst. I said at the outset that I wasn't complaining about this, just wondering why it was happening and wondering which was the 'better' or 'more accurate' feed. And you say the resolutions are the same, but resolution, by definition, refers to how many lines...

A. I think you're wrong. B. Why are you being a troll? You spent more of your post talking down to me and being a smart ass than you did explaining your answer. Not sure if I rubbed you the wrong way somehow or if this is just your general demeanor, but I'd appreciate it if you not post in this...

Thank you MaryB! TG2, I kind of understand what you're saying but I don't think that's what's causing this. Even if you're right, the dimensions of the picture should not change. One feed might have more artifacts, or a different bitrate, etc. but the dimensions should always be 16:9 or 2.35:1...

Thanks for your help MaryB! Yes, all of the channels are perfectly clear. It's really not a picture quality problem, it's more of just an oddity I noticed last year and always wondered about. I wish you could see the screenshots I posted as they are worth a 1,000 words. Are others able to see...

I'm sorry but that makes no sense. The different satellites/transponders should have no bearing on the final shape/size of the image. I mean every channel is on a different sat/tp from every other channel, but they're not changing the dimensions of the image on all the channels are they? And how...

Yes, you can do exactly what you were hoping to do. I have similar setups as what you're describing.

I started a thread about this last year, but I didn't have any pictures to demonstrate what I was talking about and I think the respondents didn't really understand what I meant. Anyway, since I had my camera out to take pictures for another thread, and since there are now official Dish...

I didn't know this was already being discussed in the Epix thread when I started this one. I checked the front page of the forum and didn't see anything about it and thought maybe I was the first person to notice what was happening. The Epix thread has since been bumped to the front page, sorry...

Deleting the TV2 timer from TV1 will also stop the recording on TV2, but if it's a recurring timer you probably wouldn't want to do that as you would have to remember to keep going back to TV2 and recreating the deleted timer(s).

Hi ZachS (and others), Thanks for the quick replies. I forgot to mention that I have a 722K receiver (two of them actually, and they both do this now). I have, and have always had, the TV Enhancements turned off. Also, I do not have the Platinum package, I have the "Everything." (which I feel...

I just noticed that when I tune to any of the HBO or Cinemax channels, there's a huge banner across the bottom of the screen that's pushing DishOnline.com. I have the banner set to "Off" in the guide format preferences, but it makes no difference; the banner is still there. I know some will...

I have called Dish, they're clueless. They tell you to reboot the box no matter what the problem is. We have two 722k's and they both do what I'm describing so maybe you are not doing the same thing I am? If you start recording a program, then stop it by pressing the stop button twice, the...

Can you please clarify this? Are you talking about when I mentioned the "white flickering"? Because I'm not seeing that here with the HBO channels, I just mentioned that as kind of an aside. You mean like 16:9 vs. 4:3? The picture on both channels looks the same to the naked eye (16:9), it's...

Bump. I posted this thread a few months ago and there have been software updates since then (I'm on L669 now) and this bug/problem has yet to be fixed. Stopping a recording with a double tap on the stop button renders the remote buttons dead until you press guide, cancel, or live tv. Very...

Hi, I just noticed that the resolutions are different on the HBO East and West HD feeds and was wondering if anyone can explain why. I watched a program on HBO (chan. 300) and then realized a few hours later that the same program on HBO West (chan. 303) had a few less lines of resolution. You...
