New to forum here, and I wanted to toss this out to verify what our local Dish dealer told me today. I approached them with the idea of wanting to upgrade to a HD package along with the HD DVR 722. All sounded good except he did caution me on a possibility of seeing a few more 'picture drops' do to inclimate weather. Currently I have older (meg2) receivers that have been very reliable and only loose the pic during a VERY heavy thunderstorm. Might happen on an average of once or twice a year. The dealer went on to explain that the newer receivers have lost a degree of signal strength scale as to where it does not have as much 'room' to drop before the signal is too weak to activate a picture. He said the older equipment could handle the cloud / rain cover better than the newer stuff.
I'm asking here if this is in fact true and would I experience more picture loss going with the 722?
Dealer said they get many more service calls (complaints) now regarding this issue. And for what's it's worth, this isn't a fly by night sat. dealer, they are the areas premier A/V dealer and go to great strides to 'dial' everything in correctly upon installation.
I've been a Dish customer for better than 15 years and would like to stay with them, but I'm a little hessitant after hearing this. I would NOT be a happy camper signing an additional 2- year contract to make the upgrade and experience less realiable service than what I've had in the past.
What's everyones take on this?? Thank you in advance
