    American Horror Story (FX) poor visual quality

    I watch AHS off my DVR and it really looks godawful. The dark areas are so noisy and macro-blocked I can barely watch it. Apparently this is not true for everyone on Dish Network, and other shows, even other FX shows, look great, so it doesn't seem to be something about my particular system...

    Dish (and satellite in general) compression questions

    Hi Folks, I have a very specific image quality question I'll be asking in another post, but I realized I am pretty ignorant about how Dish Network transmission works and I'm hoping some kind soul will provide me an explanatory link or help me understand the following questions. This will help...

    Audio Dropout Problem (722, 722K)

    Me too We have these half second audio dropouts when watching recorded material on our 722 all the time. I didn't know about this thread so I started one a few days ago to see if anyone else noticed it.

    722 DVR audio dropouts?

    I have noticed frequent audio dropouts that last about a half second in DVR recorded materials on my 722. My wild guess is that this happens when a video file is fragmented each time the drive head has to seek to the next segment of data. Anyone else seen this? If my guess is right is there a...

    Sling: Home vs. Travelling

    Just ordered the 722 sling adaptor and Im wondering something kind of basic. If I'm watching on a laptop at home will the system recognize that and use my in-home bandwidth or will the data be sent out to Dish or my ISP and back somehow limiting it to my ISP bandwidth? If the system won't use...

    722K Start-Finish timed recordings?

    Ok, I just went to Dish Remote Access (very cool) but I didn't see how to create a timer starting at some arbitrary time and ending at some arbitrary time. ie July 20th from 1:40 to 3:20

    722K Start-Finish timed recordings?

    Oh wow, I just upgraded to the 722k and didn't even realize there was a web interface. Excellent! Now if it could only realize that not every episode of the Daily Show is new so I don't have to make individual events for them...

    722K Start-Finish timed recordings?

    It's so funny, I can't even remember what that it's like to watch linearly. I got this swanky Harmony One remote and you can program in favorite channels with fancy custom icons. At first I was like "awesome! I'll program in all the channels I watch!" Then I realized I almost never watch...

    722K Start-Finish timed recordings?

    Is there a way to set a recording based on arbitrary start and finish times rather than a guide event?

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Okay, I ordered the SD to HD upgrade. What do I need to watch out for when the installer comes? My worry is that my location won't be able to see all the sats necessary for all the HD channels. Is it all or nothing or is there a sort of half-assed half the HD channels install?
