    Cancellation of service question

    If I decide to cancel Dish, aside from calling them and asking to discontinue service, do they come out and actually "de-install" the system, i.e tear down the dish, coax cabling etc, or do you just return the recievers and have to worry about the remaining hardware yourself??? JQ

    If signal strengths are strong, what else could cause a pixely, blurry picture?

    How much variation do you see in PQ from channel to channel??

    When I had cable, one thing that used to annoy the hell out of me was the variance in quality from channel to channel. One channel would look great, while the one right next to it had loads of ghosted images, snow and sometimes bars running through it. I thought that would end with Satellite...
