Alrighty. I know this topic has been touched upon in muddled bursts elsewhere (here at SatGuys and on AVSforum), but looking for a clear, concise "here's the cause of the problem, and here's the robust solution".
Apparently many LCD panel HDTVs utilize builds/technology that can cause interference w/ IR remote signals. This was new to me when I installed my Sony Bravia KDL 55EX500 HDTV earlier this week and found I couldn't get a signal from either my Harmony 880 remote or my original Dish remote to my 722k reciever (unless I held it 1 inch away from the IR sensor on the Dish box). My suspicions were that the LCD backlighting or the like were causing the interference--and putting a blanket over the screen showed that to be the case. Turning the backlighting and ambient sensor functions off/to min seem to largely alleviate the prob, but it often a problem on startup, so it's not a 100% fix.

And see this posting from a Dish rep in another thread, that validates above:

Hey Gsbtx and welcome to the forums!
LCD TV's have been known to cause interference issues. They usually clear up after 5-20 minutes of being turned on, however there are a few things you can try to bypass it. You can try disabling the auto back-lighting feature on the TV itself. Another option to try is making the TV1 remote UHF rather than IR.
You could also check and make sure there's no bright light sources, no sun on the front of the receiver, nothing in the way of the receiver that could be blocking the IR signal."
Can anyone shed light (pun intended
) on the exact nature of the issue--note: this seems to ONLY affect the Dish gear in my rack (not my DVD juke, nor my Xbox, PS3 IR reciever, DVD recorder, HDMI switcher, etc). And what is the singular, most robust/trouble-free (i.e. fix it and forget it) solution? I don't relish continued hit-and-miss/wait and twiddle each time I try to turn on my system, which has been my experience this first week w/ the issue.
THANKS!

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

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....

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
