Hi all:
I was just installed (actually the installer assisted me in the installation process) earlier this week. The installer was clueless (which way is South, why don't we get a signal with the dish pointed in the wrong direction, etc.) but a nice guy!
The HD picture is just okay with a DVI connection to my Sony 60" LCD tv. I believe I had a superior picture with D* and my Hughes E86. More to the point: When changing channels I get pixelization briefly as each channel is tuned in. Somewhat distracting. It's almost like the received channel is weak, signal strength wise, but my tuning meter says green and I'm in the mid 90's on all channels. Any reason why this occurs?
Also, I called V* and asked that they remap my receiver to allow me to receive my local ABC affiliate. This station is only 7 miles from me and is not only the closest, but the strongest signal for me. After going through reasons why I might not be receiving the channel (is it digital, is it too far away, you might have a poor antenna, etc.), it was determined the receiver is not mapped for it!. V* called Installs Inc (I think) and they were going to do something but such something has yet to happen. Any ideas or clues as to what I might do next?
Sorry for such a long write up from a newbie. I've installed dishes for over 15 years, off and on, and am one of the very first D* subscribers.
Thanks,
