I used to have alot of audio sync trouble with the HD stl. locals. I havnt noticed that lately. But, I havnt been watching much tv. A friend of mine receives his HD locals with a OTA antenna. He said that his channels are clearer than my Dish HD locals. I dont know for a fact myself, but...

I was just rescheduled for the third time, now the install date is Aug 22nd. I wonder if the local Dish retailers have the 1000+ in stock, I may call around. I figure that if they reschedule me again and a local shop has them in stock, I may just pay the 49.99 and have it done. I figure that...

I have a work order in to install the 1000+. Original date of install was in the end of July, then they called a pushed it back to Aug 8th. But I never lost my sd locals.

I am new to dish, about 1 1/2 weeks now. I went through a local retailer, and told them that I wanted the dish that would receive the new hd locals. He assured me they would install what I would need. Well, yesterday I found out that I have dish 1000 and not the 1000+. Just called the dealer...

I think that the issue is, and I could be wrong, is that not all of the local programs are in HD. Just digital. Thats why you have black bars on all sides. If you watch a program that you know is being broadcasted in HD, see if you have black bars on all sides or just top and bottom. I know...

Thanks for the help bhelms. My tv is a HD tv and about 4 or 5 years old, its just not 16x9 widescreen. Back then I was afraid of getting a widescreen because most stations were in 4x3. I guess that I was just used to going from 480i 4x3 and filling my screen, to 1080 16x9(although with the...

Im new to Dish. Just switched a few days ago from Directv. Im very happy with my new 622 but have a question about it. Ive noticed that my 622 doesnt switch from 480 to 1080 or 1080 back to 480 automatically. I have to go in a switch it in the settings menu. Is it suppose to do it...

LOL that was the trouble, thanks so much. Somehow my mother-in-law was messing wth the tv remote and changed that setting without knowing it. They still dont know how to set the clock on the vcr. I went to their house over new years and changed that setting, my father-in-law said that he...

My father-in-law has the d10 and the past few months he will have a black box pop up about the 1/3 the size of the tv screen and it will have a web address in it of the channel that he is watching. Sometimes the address will repeat over and over inside the box. It looks like dos text. I...

No, my channels are fine. I was having some funky stuff go on channel 79 a few monhs ago with green lines and pixelation. It turned out to be some cable interference with the cables behind my box. I just wiggled the box around and it all went away.

I have a H10 and it has a miniguide. So I wonder why Directv says that its obsolete? I use the mini guide all of the time.

Got it, thanks Jimbo.

My audio says dolby digital on, and digital output pcm. Should I change the digital output, and if so how? I cant figure out how to change it, the only thing that I can change under the audio is language.

In the directv guide it will say HD if its broadcasted in HD. The amber lights on the front of your H10 will be on 720 or 1080 and the broadcast will be in widescreen. Dont know how to tell if a program is in 5.1 except at the beginning of some programs it will say surround sound. Also, I...

I pulled my h10 out of the entertainments center to start unpluging wires to see if it would stop. No sooner I got the receiever out where I could see the wires, the lines disappeared. Guess it was some interference with the way the wires may have been intertwined. Anyway, thanks for the help...
