Our Pittsburgh HD locals have been generally good in terms of image quality but there have been a lot of problems with audio synch, especially on CBS (ch 2). The severity of the problem seems to vary from day to day and from program to program but is often a serious nuisance. For CBS we are...

It may vary with the region of the country but, yes, Wildblue installs through Dish are now available. If you check the Wildblue web site it will show you a list of local installers that include Dish network retailers. Here in western Pennsylvania, I had Wildblue installed by Dish a couple of...

Is there particular programming that is available only on the 129 satellite that you want? Some people on this forum complain about the quality of the 129 satellite -- because of weak signals, I think. Try doing a search on 129 and see if this might be a concern for you. I'm also in the...

Could be ... we just lost our NY CBS-HD this evening (Thursday Nov. 30). It is no longer in our program guide. This is our most valuable channel, both for sports and weekly primetime shows. It's a real loss, especially as DISH seems to have stalled in the rollout of HD locals for much of the...

I have to admit I also am getting tired of the many threads on this forum complaining about CSRs with foreign accents. Yes, this can sometimes be difficult but, in my experience, no worse than the many Americans you encounter on the phone who speak with strong regional accents. Or those who...

I get the Dish CBS-HD East feed from the 61.5 satellite and also think that the quality has be noticeably worse over the past month or so, including the Steelers-Broncos game this past Sunday. It used to be that CBS-HD football games were the best picture quality available on my setup (811 and...

I know there are a lot of questions about the confusing NFL blackout rules, but this situation puzzles me. I am in the Pittsburgh DMA and have CBS-HD because the Pittsburgh CBS station (KDKA) is owned and operated by CBS. This week's game broadcast by the CBS-HD New York station, Jets vs...
