audio dropout was the fault of my (old) receiver!! I couldn't believe it but ... when I upgraded my (roughly 5-year old) Onkyo A/V receiver to a newer model the audio dropout problem disappeared! I refused to believe that the old receiver could discriminate against just a few stations -- and...

Sorry, I missed this earlier. This is an upgrade (from a 622). And, btw, I had a dropout problem with the 622 as well, although it was very infrequent and only noticed on The Comedy Channel. It was so infrequent, in fact, that I never bothered to address it. The problem became consistently...

Thanks, again, Jeff fork continuing to indulge me (seriously). As to your points: I would love to have included the signal strengths but, like before, the DVR is recording a program now so I'll have to remember to check these and report back later (but, again, I'm sure they're plenty high). I...

Yes ... but with respect to my specific audio "dropout" problem (not volume fluctuations between channels), couldn't it be that there is a prevailing issue with the digital OPTICAL output of the 722(k)? My impression is that most people are using HDMI. Moreover, there was a problem with...

Thanks, Jeff! I can't get the signal strength numbers right now but I do know that they're very high. Dish Network sent one of their best installers (after two previous attempts to solve the problem had failed) and he peaked the dish which got the signal strength up from the high-50's to, as...
