I can't really say the Actual PQ is worse, But the picture interuption is what I'm bothered by.You are correct about the slowness in switching channels on 61.5. I also noticed it. About the PQ, maybe the programs I am watching are getting to borrowed more bitrates from the other channels you guys are watching![]()
E* is sending out some type of manager, or superviser. I'll let you know what happends. He said they may change the LNBs and wiring if he feels its equipment related. I complained big time , This time the fee is on them. The best part was the Tech is the one who passed it along to his superviser and they believe it or Not called me back about the Issue. That was nice on their part. I can't wait for the Superviser to see my system isn't grounded. I can't wait for them to see my Nice slimline either.i haven't experienced those problems but with 61.5 i have been experiencing slowness with channel changing. when i switch between one channel from one sat to a channel on another sat it takes a little longer than what it used to. especially with 61.5. i have checked everything and it looks fine. don't know if the addition of diplexers has slowed thing down. i don't think so.
I don't think grounding it has anything to do with Anything, except Lightning. But I think its in the rule book ,that a satellite system must be grounded. Thats part of the job.i'm sure this is a stupid question but what the hell. is there a chance in hell that not grounding the connections would affect performance? i have never grounded any sat installation but i couldn't help myself from asking this dumb ass question.sorry. any answers on this?

Suggestions:
- Lower your expectations. HBO will get better when it moves to MPEG-4 later this summer.
- Watch the show, not the pixels.
I'd say switch providers, but they are all compressing like crazy because everyone wants bragging rights on having the most HD channels.![]()

well if thats the case than there is no point to HD and I should just be watching SD.- Watch the show, not the pixels.
you've got that rightI'd say switch providers, but they are all compressing like crazy because everyone wants bragging rights on having the most HD channels.![]()
I've been a Dish Network HD customer for almost 2 years now and I have really noticed the PQ take a dump the last month or so. I'm on 129 in Portland, OR.
It is NOT as good as it once was. I would prefer to get quality back and lose some channels if that's what it takes.
Is Verizon FIOS still sending signals uncompressed/untouched? I like that. I might need to start looking into that.
HBOHD is just fine when i am watching them on galaxy 13. Its DISHNET's fault that the PQ sucks and AekaGSR is right. Hopefully they fix it soon.
What's to fix? The market has spoken and they want QUANTITY and not quality.

Well, I'm hoping when some new sats go up, Dish will allocate more bandwidth per channel. Didn't Directtv improve their PQ with the launch of a new sat?
I'd really like to stop using my 10 ft. c band dish for subscription movie channels like HBOHD and just get everything on my DISH sub as it would be cheaper, easier and also free up the BUD to watch FTA 40mbps HD feeds.But my wife notices DISH subpar PQ and doesn't like it. She would rather watch her movies on 4DTV than DISH.
