    seeing signal loss screen but no interference?

    Ever since late last night everything's been fine. Before I posted yesterday I checked the OTA and both tuners on the 722 were set to the same channel when the problem occurred. I ran the test in system info, box A came up GOOD. Under details there were about 10 lines with 11-12-11 11-22-11 on...

    seeing signal loss screen but no interference?

    Just today I've started seeing the full "partial signal loss" error screen while watching CNN and HLN. It's happened about a dozen times today but as soon as I press GUIDE the channel is instantly back and when I skip back there is no pixelation or sign of interference. I have a steady signal...

    Lost signal on some channels

    Just the one 722k receiver. I unplugged it but there's no change and it seems those channels won't tune in at all now. The switch test gives me an error. Something about no longer getting all satellites and if I save I will lose channels. I'm starting to think there's been some malfunction. I...

    Lost signal on some channels

    I have a 722k and in the past 24 hours I've been having trouble with certain channels like HLN, TCM, BBCA, AMC, TRU, G4, ID. I was changing channels and the usual lost signal message popped up. There were a few times when the channel tuned in but I would see some pixelation. It's a nice day out...

    Headline News (HLN) audio problem?

    In the last few days I've noticed the sound fluctuating on the HD version of HLN. Is this a Dish problem or has anyone noticed it on other systems? Thanks.

    getting HD next week - couple of questions

    So I'm making the switch to HD. I currently have one 522 in the living room and I want to keep a dual tuner DVR but also add a single HD tuner (non-dvr) receiver for upstairs. The Dish has a dual lnb with both cables running into the 522. - Will the installer need to run additional cables...

    lost locals and missed Preakness

    I've seen posts from Maine to Houston mentioning they lost signal just before the race only to have it come back 15 minutes later. So this one place in Virginia goes down due to bad weather and a good chunk of people lose their locals? And this is somehow not DISH's fault for depending on this...

    lost locals and missed Preakness

    My locals went out here in Connecticut just minutes before the race and came back 15 minutes later. Missed the damn race! Thanks DISH. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Where'd my letterbox go?

    I was wondering, does anyone know if DirectTV customers are seeing the same problem?

    Where'd my letterbox go?

    I was wondering why shows like Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien were cutting off text and graphics from the sides of the picture. I have a 522 and SD. So there is nothing DISH can do to fix this without me having to buy new equipment of some sort?

    volume on locals suddenly very low

    I received an email reply to my problem (low audio on locals and audio dropouts) and it confirmed what kb7 said. Here is the text, "We are aware of the audio levels on your locals. This item has made what we call the Hit List. This means that we are meeting daily on the issue. Your locals...

    volume on locals suddenly very low

    Suddenly in the past couple of weeks a handful of my local channels have dropped real low in volume. I have to crank the volume way past a level I've used before and then if I change channels it becomes deafening. Does DISH have a contact email about these sorts of things or do I have to get on...

    More glitches in recordings with L468

    I have a 522 and ever since the firmware upgrade to L468 I've been noticing daily glitches with shows I've recorded and with playback of a show that I'm a few minutes behind on. The picture will freeze, stutter, and beep for a few seconds. Even when I skip back the glitch will remain. Again this...

    momentary freeze

    Join the club. I have the 522 and I've been seeing it as far back as March. The picture will just hang for a second while the audio remains unaffected then everything jumps to normal. I'll skip back to replay the scene and it plays without interruption. Others have have noticed it even after...

    sporadic freeze-ups on picture

    I now have firmware L466 and that sporadic momentary freeze is STILL there. :mad: It happens every hour or so and it's really distracting. In the searches I've made on the forum it looks to be widespread on a variety of receivers. I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet. There's also still a...

    sporadic freeze-ups on picture

    Yep exactly. I'll often skip back to replay a scene that freezes and it plays fine the second time around.

    sporadic freeze-ups on picture

    I have a 522 with L463 and this is an annoyance I've been noticing for several months now. Every now and then, maybe once every couple hours, the picture will freeze for a second. The audio is unaffected. There's no predicting when it will happen but it occurs on all channels and in live mode...

    522 Picture Freezes - Help!

    I've also been noticing the picture freeze-ups on my 522. They only last a second but its distracting. At first I thought it was just the 4.64 firmware but even after they rolled back to 4.63 the problem is still there. I thought maybe my receiver might be dying but I'm glad to see I'm not the...
