I don't get on here much, but I tried to look around for this first... I notice at the end of just about any show, ending at any time (:00, :30, :15) I get a video only break up and stutter for about 2 seconds. This is quite annyoing, and it seems to have started in the last 6 months...

Guys, could I have messed up the Separator by hooking up my 322 and it to the old LNB first....I changed the LNB after that.

I'm going to play with the separator, and I ordered a new one last night just in case (since they are cheap), I'll try that ground trick, and put through some more paces. Thanks for replying - all!

Older home? If that means coax...its about 10 years old...60ft run from rx to dish. 301 was intermittantly saying smartcard is missing, then about a second later start playing again as normal....prgressively getting worse. Was doing some other tricks too, sticking, picture dropping (audio ok)...

Yeah, same cable thats always been good. If I flip the separator outputs, and the problem moves to tuner 1, that should tell me it is the separator or not, right? I went through alot of hassle to get this thing up and running (couldnt be activated, although it is NEW...had to get card) so...

Just changed a 301 / DP Dish 500 setup to a 322 / DPP separator / DPP LNB / single coax - always had 80-90 signal on 110 & 119 with old setup. Signal level with the 322 is a little lower 75-85 on both...and Tuner 2 was a little lower than that. Tuner 1 works fine, or at least it has for the...

Yeah, I figured that much. It's shame these companies didn't figure out a better system when this stuff came out in the 90's. They hassle me and I will dump them. I just don't go for that, I pay them too much already.

I don't think I am scared of some pinhead that want to be a jerk about TV receivers. They will promptly be told what to kiss. I was really just curious because of all the reading I was doing about the Broadband versus phone connections and the posts just kind of lead to the other. I know...

OK, since I have started reading more and more here (interesting to learn stuff). I see that alot of people are scared to death of the "audit" deal. Here's my thing...I'm not scared of too many things....so it doesnt worry me. However, I have 4 receivers. I have a couple of HD units, and a...

Yep, I've had the package for a long time. Anthony-Thomas Candies located in Columbus Ohio

My "local" market would be Columbus, but I use an antenna for OTA...only 40 miles from the transmitters. Well, glad I did some research to understand it first, and thanks to you guys for confirming. Anthony, do you mak candy in your spare time? Sorry, couldn't resist. Thank you!

So Wednesday night I got a call from DISH, well I assume it was them she said so, and I was asked to tune a channel and tell them what was on, I did and it said "Congratulations, you are tuned to the 129...." or something like that. The lady said "Ok - you're good, thank you". Took about 30...

I had a 508 for a number of years and loved it, I am going to add a Ext Drive to this 211k to make a DVR....but, I know it several years...the guide info on the 508 had episode numbers, first air dates and if something was new. I miss that, I hope that is part of the update too. Of course maybe...

My new 211k seems to have a huge difference in volume output betwen HD and SD channels. Any fix for this? I looked at all menus can't find any volume leveling.

All the tricks and tips helped. Thanks! After I cleared the check-switch...that was the key to success. The second one was aligned in 15 minutes. I fixed the first one in about 20 minutes. I ended up with signal levels of (after tweaking): 110 = 66 119 = 78 129 = 62 All on tr 17. The first...
