Ok, I am starting to get a complex... This is the second time this happened to me:

I have been having serious PQ issues for about 8 months now, I wont go into detail, its in other posts. The CSR's - the best they can do is ask me to run a check switch, the techs that have come out have thrown thier hands up, and in fact the last visit left my already abysmal Sat 119 signals about 10-15 points lower than before he came! So he screwed up the alignment of the Dish apparently. Anyway, I have sent emails to these 2 addresses in an attempt to escalate the issue. The first time, about a week passed and then lo and behold a message appeared on my answering machine from Dish "claim dispute resolution dept" eager to talk to me about my problems. After a solid week of calling this person, getting voice mail and leaving messages - no call backs. So, I send the email to the same parties again and the same thing happens - days pass and when I get home from work, there is a message from the same person, eager to talk to me about my "defective receiver" (note: I never said anything about a bad receiver!), so I call her back, I call again and again and again leaving messages and a week later no callback. What is this some type of joke? If there was any question whatsoever whether I was going to stay the course w/ Dish or look elswhere, this fiasco has made up my mind.

Anyone else have a similar experience??

Are you sure you actually have PQ problem compared to other Dish systems, or are you simply seeing the BEST that platform can deliver? If you are viewing SD progams on a HDTV, you will NOT have a great picture.

SD programs on SD TV. The degradation in PQ since 2001 is dramatic - same TV, system, etc. Short answer is "yes" I am having PQ issues, my old analog cable looked better than the blurry, washed out, slow mo I have now. So its not my eye objecting to the characteristics of digital picture or limitations of the "platform", this is a real condition that has gotten worse over time.

The tech who was out yesterday basically re-installed the entire system soup to nuts, and noted some "installation errors" or "shortcuts" that he corrected.

So far so good........

I e-mailed dishquality yesterday about the Bangor locals and they had it fixed in 12 hours!

I was amazed. Stephen King must have called and complained too.......

Glad to hear things got taken care of! Thats just it sometimes on install depends on where you live and how good the installers are in your area. Again glad things are running well. Yeah well E-mail works I have given some folks on here some address to try. When they do I would say most of the time the issue get taken care of.

Thanks again Poke, it was your guy that escalated the matter to the correct people.

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....

The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
