Anyone notice an improvement this week? I thought the PQ on the NFL Network Thursday night was outstanding, and the ESPNs have also been much better. Even some of the SD channels seem a little bit better than before (although they still suck overall).
Dish HD PQ looks much better lately

ESPN looks bad on all providers I have directv, dish and cox cable and all look bad.
As far as pq looking better dish is always upgrading their mpeg4 encoded. So yes something may have changed for the better.
I can't say it's better across the board, but two to three weeks ago it was terrible. So yes, some channels seem to be better.
Yes, perhaps it's back to normal now... agreed that a few weeks ago it was really really bad, nearly across the board.
.Your kidding? Most likely it was all the sports that were on (multiple channels) that were eating up and stealing bits from other channels.
I guess that was sarcasm?
PQ has nothing to do with weather. You either have a picture or you don't. That's the beauty of digital television with forward error correction.
I have not noticed any difference in pq one way or the other. Over the air hd still blows dish out of the water.
And some of the premium movie channels are getting the short end of the stick. I know HBO and Starz sends out decent quality. But, Dish manages to make it their own and look like 480P.

Not sure what Starz you're looking at, but I'm watching Starz East on DISH, and your statement couldn't be any further from the truth.
Angels and Demons? It doesn't look all that great to me. You must be one of those people who never seen good satellite PQ to begin with and don't know any better. Am i right?
No, I only watch Blu-ray movies every other day, that's all. Guess that's 480p too compared to "good satellite PQ?"
No, i would be happy with half the quality you get with Blue ray. But, dish seems to only provide a quarter of it.
Really, put your receiver on 480p in the set up menu. And see if you notice a "big" diference. I used too. But, the difference from now and back then has shrunk.
Okay, just did that. 480p looked like a DVD. 1080i looked like HD.
EDIT: Even tried 720p. Difference was still quite noticeable. More noticeable between 480p and 720p than 720p and 1080i.
