    The quality of HD channels?

    I have been a DISH subscriber since this February and can now say I've noticed a noticeable decline in HD picture quality. Netflix HD streaming from my Xbox looks better and less blotchy than DISH HD does. Does anybody know what is up with this? Have they been reducing the bitrate on HD...

    Closed Caption issues- Comedy Central and HLN(sats 61.5 and 72)

    I called regular tech support and asked for the closed caption compliance person, they weren't sure who that was, neither was the supervisor. I found it on the FCCs website(Alex Constantine, 202-293-0981). I left a message and am wondering if anybody else is having these issues. Thanks!

    Is this normal during medium rain?

    The medium rain turned into Heavy rain, but the channels didn't look too good even when it wasn't raining that hard. 61.5 was at 9, 119 at 7 and 110 at 5.

    Poor Signal @ 61.5 (45-55 out of 125)

    I am starting to notice pixelation on my HD channels, most of which are on 61.5. I called tech support, got transferred to "advanced tech support" and they asked for my signal strength. They said they could send out a tech for $15. Could having signals in this range actually be causing...

    What happened to DISH Family?

    I don't see any mention of it on the website. My contract states that DISH Family @24.99 is the minimum required package. I was planning on switching down to that when my $15 off month promotion expires. Did they just stop advertising it?

    Can I just add a reciever?

    Let's say I buy a refurbished receiver from dishstore.net, can I just hook it up and call dish with the receiver ID and have them send me a smart card? This would be my second receiver. Will they charge a monthly fee, or is that just if you lease a receiver? Thanks!
