    Help me decide to switch to Dish or not

    I switched to Dishnetwork almost a year ago after 12 years with Directv. IMO the PQ is about the same but Dishnetwork equipment is much better. I just laugh at these "We want you back" messages from Directv.

    lost locals frequency during good weather?

    I live in western NC and I frequently lose Channel 13 in Asheville. It usually lasts only a few minutes and doesn't happen on any other channel. I just suspect a simple uplink problem. It has happened in good weather also.

    HDCP problem

    I had the same problem with a VIP 612 receiver connected via HDMI to a Panasonic plasma tv. In the menu the HDMI reset button was greyed out and tech support was no help.
