    FS Prime HD

    Anyone notice a LOT of macroblocking when there are fast scenes? I was watching the dodgers play and when the camera would pan, the screen would get all blurry with a lot of macroblocking. This has just happened recently as before Dish added these 22 channels. Do you think its just my receiver?

    vip 622 vs 722

    Is there any other advantages to the 722 that the 622 doesn't offer other than more storage space? I'm thinking of purchasing one since I got my rebate. I don't want to pay the lease fee anymore. Oh is it true that the 722 has the ability to show hd on demand?

    So dish says they have 76 national hd channels and plan to expand that to 100. Which channels are they counting? I would only count the 24/7 hd channels. Even with including voom, I only counted about 40. That was including the premiums.
