No. I don't think it was misalignment due to wind. But thanks for the suggestion.

I was watching US Open Final last night and all of a sudden the signal was gone. The system check showed there is no signal at all. The Tech support asked me to disconnect and reconnect the cable behind my receiver. Obviously it didn't work. I went out to check the connection outside this...

That's what I'm doing (not doing). :) Thanks.

Isn't it true that signals from the local broadcast are transmitted to Dish's uplink center before sending it back to the local viewers? I know the regular broadcast is and I assume HD will be the same. The fact that pixelation only occurs on your local HD channels may suggest some problem with...

I have my OnKyo HT-S580 a couple years now. Lately, it has no sound when I first turn it on. It takes a couple of minutes, then there is a humming sound (low at first then getting louder and eventually goes away) lasts for about 5 to 10 sec. After that the sound works. It never happened until...

Now that the war is over, I wonder if anyone can comment the sale and status of Blu-Ray DVD at other countries outside US? Just like the DVD today, I know Blu-Ray also have region codes built-in to protect their regional sales. Are there any All region Blu-Ray DVD players out there today?

It works. Thanks, guys.

I have a stupid question: are there really 100 channels on AT100 or is it just a round-up number? I know they can change their line up as see fit but do they always put something else back when they take out something?

I switched to e-statements for several months now. However, I notice it's quite often time the pdf files of the e-statement not available at the dishnetwork website. When it's available, I also have had problem opening it from one of my computers. (format with the link, etc.) Anyone have...

I like movies so the Starz/Encore package is perfect for me. They have some good movies that I would have missed when they were in the theatre or DVD release but I got catch up on Starz. Not big fan of HBO or Showtime though.

The signals on my local channels contains pixels when there are fast changing picture (such as sports programs). You can also see pixelation around letters with small font size. I think this is an indication Dish has weak local signal feed somehow and they make things worse by data compression...

Since no one seems to be interested in help solving the question posted initially, let me try my best to rephrase it for him this way: 1. The TV set gets great signal from FTA HD broadcast. No problem. 2. The person knows he doesn't subsribe HD package and doesn't expect HD quality from the SD...

1. from WalMart, Circuit City, Bestbuy, to Amazon, 99% of what they carry are HDTV or EDTV. There are not much option out there. So that answer you first question why many people are getting HDTV. 2. I think as consumers, we should not become hostages of technology. My surround sound system...

Dish Network added "Veria" on its lineup last month. It has certain element of Fit TV. With this move, I don't think we would see FitTV on Dish any time soon.

No. DishNetwork doesn't have Jadeworld. They do have ATV on their Chinese language packages lineup.
