Well considering I am the one also having problems with pixellation of my DC locals it probably was my installer who said...it is happening all the time and D* knows that it is but won't tell customers....I have a good feeling that the situation is the Dish alignment. I also notice on my HD receiver the SD channels (101 degree) that they are all 50's to 60's so that may be a big issue. I have a feeling the tweaking of the machine is WAY off. THe regular SD receivers are all low 90s but the HD one is not..it has that low band thing on the back of the box...not an installer so have really no idea what it really does. They (D*) are coming out Saturday due to the pixellation issue so I will alert the guy to this problem as well.
