I didn't have gray bars when the show was on, or maybe I need my eyes checked?gdarwin said:

Edit: Show is back, no gray bars and it looks stretched to me?
I've been having issues with the new channels this morning on my 622, i'll tune to a channel and i get audio and a black screen... I've ran a check switch (forcing it to pull more guide data) and power button rebooted... maybe it's still too early to have these, I hope it gets better as the day goes on!
Also on 129 TP 10 (StarzHD) I get a signal of 63! That's not good! I should get another Dish, switch and point to 61.5... i'd drop 129 but I'd still like to have HD LIL
Seems to be specific with StarzHD and NFLHD (who cares...) but they are both on 129 TP 10... what gives!
UPDATE: Power Cord Reboot fixed it!

My Initial Stupid Assessment of the new HD...
HGTVHD and StarzHD: look pretty good!. Supposedly, all the material on HGTVHD will be HD but there will be gobs of repeats. StarzHD looks as good as it did while on VOOM DBS...just hope they have a more robust HD library than they did a year ago (should since they can borrow all the material shown on the now defunct EncoreHD).
NFLHD: is the same crappy/fuzzy 4:3 that was on VOOM DBS. I'm not expecting much from this channel until football season, if ever.
NGHD: so far they have shown a combination of 4:3, 16x9 zoom/crop, and stretch-o-vision...not a great preview up to this point.
