    Mysterious Video and Audio "Hum"

    Hi, I am having a strange problem. When I hook up my receiver to my PC using RCA audio cables and either S-Video or Composite video, I get a loud audio hum and strange looking video waves that pan from the bottom of my screen to the top. This doesn't happen when I hook it up via coax...

    An audio and a video issue...

    Hi, this my first post so be nice ;) I've had Dish Network since May '05 and for the most part it has worked great, except now for the last couple months... I've noticed two things that aren't too bad, but they get annoying at times. The first thing is an audio related issue. This just...
