after watching tv for a hour or soo my screen gets
fuzzy and starts turning blue, i will then reset my dish receiver
and its gone, is any one else having this problem
 
Sounds like it's an IRD problem, if you have more than one swap them and monitor them and see if it happens with the same IRD at the other location.
 
prellinger, I assume the term you refer to is "IRD" (it means Integrated Receiver Decoder), aka the "STB" (Set Top Box), all fancy terms for the reciever :)

Also, you never state what kind of connection you are using, s-vid, hdmi, composite, component, either way, you may want to try an alternative way of connecting it just to see if it might be just that set of input/outputs, heck it could be a bad cable, or bad jack (the s-vid is especially flimsy on some equipment), perhaps posting additional info on your setup would result in more usable answers :)
 
i have two sets D* and E*, D* is using the hdmi connection
and E* is using the dvi both are HD, but this weekend i will check my wiring

thanks
