We've had nothing but good to say about our HD setup, Vip722 with the dual TV support. Just today however, when watching live TV or prerecorded stuff, the audio and video are out of sync, and sometimes the picture freezes on a frame and doesn't progress for a few seconds, only to freeze again and repeat the freeze/progress/freeze rotation. This happened once before, and we just walked away for an hour or two with it off, and that seemed to fix it. Doing the same today, after an hour or two it went back to normal. Any ideas what could cause this?

I had problems with the audio on my 722. I am using an HDMI cable. If you are as well try changing audio setting from dolby to pcm. Sounds as though you are having some more issues but, it's worth a try.

We've had this issue off and on. It used to be really bad and then went away. I've recently seen a bit of syncing issue, but not enough to care.

When this happens I can change a setting on my TV to adjust the delay.

Yeah I can't say it's bothered me. In 2 years it has only happened twice, so thats not bad, ecspecially once you think about it as thats only once every 8700 hours and at most only lasts 1 hours after that. And yes, its run by an HDMI cable (Monster, unfortunately), but I don't think it is that, because if I go into GUIDE and thumb through the recorded DVRs, I can scroll through the list at normal speed with no clipping of the guide, its only the moving picture that clips at full size, but what is even more bizzare is if I am in guide and have the TV picture minimized in the top right corner, the live TV plays without any clipping or interuption at small size, it's only when I go back to full screen viewing that the screen clips... Very strange.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

But how is it reusable if it's disposable

He does not have the resources aka $$$ compared to Elon Musk as in reality, Elon can eat Charlie for lunch or even mop the floor with Charlie if he wanted to.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
