After finding and correcting 24 errors with the surface test, the problem persists. I still get freezing/catching up over a 4-5 second period every 10 minutes or so. What's my next step? Call tech support?

Update...I ran the surface test and it found and corrected 24 errors. I have no idea yet if the issue is fixed, but it's clear the hard drive has some issues.

I tried all of those test, except for the surface test. All passed and the problem persists. I had the freeze/catch up issue at least 10 times last night.

So, you think it's hard drive related, even though the issue only shows during live programming???

I did. The issue is still there.

I've noticed lately that my HR 24-200 is freezing for 3-4 seconds, then catching up at 10x speed. The strange part is if I rewind and play from the DVR, the freeze/skip isn't there. For example, I was watching a basketball game last night and twice in a 5 minute period the picture...

I had DirecTV installed this morning and just cancelled Dish. In the end, all they could do was spit out a script about Fox and offer me $10 off per month for a year. With the $29 off the first year with DirecTV, My bill will go down about $35 per month. I also get $14 off the first year, so...

I only had 2 months left on my contract, so I canceled for $20 and ordered Direct for this Saturday. Went with Ultimate, the Sports Pack, HD for Life and 3 HD receivers (1 DVR). It's basically the same setup I had with Dish, with the one additional HD receiver. Channel disputes did it for me...

I'm currently a Dish customer. I have a 411 running on a living room TV and a two tuner 622 (TV1 HD, TV2 SD) on an LCD in another room with TV2 being my SD bedroom set. Does DirecTV offer such a setup? Do they even have a two tuner HD receiver or do you have to have 3 receivers for 3 TV's...

Just an update...The tech showed up, replaced the 110 LNB and everything is good. There was no charge.

The 1000 is only about 3 yrs old...The additional smaller dish to pickup HD locals is only about 6 months old... Called Dish and they say they'll replace the LNB for free Tuesday morning. Here's hoping they actually do. To add to my confusion, after two reboots and scheduling the service...

I have both a 411 and 622. The problem is on both receivers. Just did a system status and it says "LNB Drift Detected" on the details page. What does that mean? The system info on the 811 shows signal loss and LNB Drift. Has this thing gotten out of alignment somehow?

Right now, I can't get ESPNHD again. When I go to point dish, the reading is in the high 40's with no lock. I turned it back to one of the my locals and it' crystal clear with reading in the low 50's. Big 10 network HD is clear in the high 40's-low 50's and jumps between the two. FSN...

I have recently seen severe pixelization during crystal clear days, mostly during the afternoon. Five or six times in the past few weeks, I've come home at 5 pm and attempted to watch ESPNHD only to have it too broken up to watch. I've changed to other channels and, besides my HD locals off of...

For those that now have the Lexington HD locals, how's the picture quality of the channels?
