I'm getting the same thing here...expecting these channels to go to a spot beam any day now.

I own it, and plan to hang onto it for awhile.

I have a ViP 722 DVR with a drive full of HD events that I haven't had a chance to watch yet. I want to cancel my account with Dish, as I've already got plenty of programming from other sources, but I want to be able to have access to the recordings on the 722. Is it possible to watch (and...

I thought I read someplace earlier that these RSN's, in addition to the new HBO HD & other HD channels that were recently added, are sharing bandwidth with as many as seven other channels per transponder now, MORE than the 4 to 6 that were being shared when Voom was still around. I have not yet...

PQ of new HD channels? Better? Worse? That was probably me, although I was about to ask, "How is the picture quality" of the new HD channels - the new HBO's, Starz's, Lifetime, etc? Do they seem overly compressed on people's displays or are they holding their own? I'm actually working far...

My biggest question/concern, and I haven't really seen anyone address it here yet, is with the new HD channels that are being added like the HBO suite. I know they're already uplinked and ready to be turned on, but I've heard from folks who say they're running up to 8 HD channels *per...

Same here in N. California...I don't know if it's a dish alignment problem or bad lnb, but have had consistant dropouts every day for the past 10 days or so on 129. Clear shot at the sky, the trees are at a pretty good distance away. Transponders are acting peculiar...one might have a signal...

I'd be willing to bet that the only channels we'll be seeing on 61.5 will be more HD locals. Source: during the last Charlie Chat, a chart was presented with a number of green & blue dots, the green representing HD locals to be added in the next two months, the blue would be by the end of the...

I had Dish Network's full "Everything Pak" but when D* added all those HD channels, I scaled back my Dish programming to their smallest package and HD LiL's and OTA HD. I've been using DirecTV for all the mainstream hi def national and movie channels and after only two months, the hard drive is...

I've had Dish for over a year and just ADDED DirecTV. I did some very close a/b comparisons of the picture quality of the new HD channels, particularly Starz which I watch quite a lot of, and the D* quality was far better than what Dish is putting out - they are definitely allocating more...

I've got both E* and D* for the moment (just added D* a couple of weeks ago) and have the largest package with each service. The dozen or so HD Premium movie channels I get in MPEG-4 are stunning and blow away the premium channels on E*, especially Starz; the two older MPEG-2 movie channels...

Yep, saw a bright pink screen last night when I tuned to their newscast, but the audio was there. I also noticed that KCRA 3 had a lip sync issue. KXTV 10 was the only one that seemed to be OK.

That's exactly what the pattern has been for me. "Dish Quality" emailed me asking for more detailed info, but how I can I properly reply when the pattern is so inconsistant? I'm really surprised many more people haven't noticed this issue or at least complained about it.

All seemed to be fine here for a few days, but yesterday I noticed the lip sync issue creeping back into the channels you mentioned, and including Showtime & some of the Voom channels. History HD seems to be in sync right now (although I still don't understand the 16:9 stretched material). I...

I *have* to stretch the screen on my tv; as with many Plasma owners, I have a CRT RPTV and if I don't stretch 4:3 material, I'll get burn-in from the bars on the sides. I've already had this problem and it cost $700 to fix. Just one compromise for owning this type of display but I have become...

I'm actually looking forward to the HD-PPV's. If they do it right (and judging from Dish's recent experience, I think they will) the movies will look better than DVD and can "fill the void" while I wait out the HD-DVD format wars. The lack of HD PPV is exactly why I haven't purchased any...

I'm all for that, although as a "junior member" with only a few posts here, it might be better if one of you more experienced forum members started an official poll which would count the numbers of Dish customers experiencing this very problem. Not sure how the moderators here work this sort of...

Mine, too, but at least they acknowledged this "possible timing problem." I may email them this week & see if I get a duplicate reply.

For me, it's been constant on my HD LiL's out of Sacramento, but the OTA has always been perfect. But I've seen the sync issue on channels that are not all that new like Starz HD and Showtime, so if there were issues with those channels you'd think it would have been fixed by now. Makes it kind...

Sure glad to know I'm not the only one with lip sync issues and Dish receivers, including a 722. I don't think the "dish quality" email address would be the appropriate place to send a detailed description of the problem as it seems a bit more technical than just one or two channels. Is there...

EKB: Dish Network Channel Chart (Unofficial)

I also noticed the audio being out of sync on Showtime on Sunday, but it was off & on through the movie I recorded. I checked other channels as well and still can't pinpoint a definite pattern; as another poster recently mentioned, it's on different channels at varying times of the day and night.

Thank you so much...I couldn't agree with you more. It's important for people to note that this is a NEW technology, it's not perfect and it won't be for a long time. However, at least to me, the video quality is far better than trying to watch Dish's overcompressed SD feed. On top of that, I...

Agreed! I have no issues with OTA, either - the audio/video has always been perfect. I just received my second ViP receiver today, a 722, for use in the main room of the house, particularly with the hope that the newer chip inside would resolve any issues that my 622 was having. It did...

I thought perhaps I was the only one with this problem so I didn't post anything earlier, but I've had lip sync issues with my 622 and Hitachi CRT RPTV since day one (last year). Mostly on HD channels, sometimes on SD but not as much, and almost constantly on the HD LiL's that I receive from...
