    Just an opinion but I think you are watching TV too close for a 50 inch.

    is HD pixelation normal from up close

    You are watching 3-5ft away? Or, you notice this pixelation from 3-5ft away? I have a 42inch Panny Plasma (720p model) and when I view certain fast moving broadcasts I can see the pixelation from 8-10ft away. You also are trying to compare Blu-Ray (which displays maximum bit...

    Wow stupid People

    Did you ask why couldn't have I called? I see your point: He is paid by the hour and told me so. Should I have told him, "hey there buddy, it's okay....you can leave. I'll call Dish myself later and have them activate the promo I signed up for that is not being downloaded properly..." I...

    Wow stupid People

    Fyi, I never said certain people in certain jobs are 3rd rate hacks... I said *IF* Usually the ones who are 3rd rate hacks, get offended and cannot comprehend reading.....See dishcomm:D

    Cinemax For a Penny

    Why is it so hard for people to realise Dish can play different sides and offer certain people different options regarding the Cinemax deal. The offer stands until Jan 2010....It doesn't mean that the Cinemax for a penny STOPS at that time, it means they will cease to offer the promotion.

    It's not the content, it's how you go about saying it. People (for the most part) are able to deduce from your posts whether or not you know your stuff....To put undo emphasis on your point of view seems much too strong. -Just an observation. Just so YOU know, a troll goes around...

    HD Picture Quality

    I made an obvious noob mistake and thought the Satellites (119, 110, 129) were the signal strengths, oops:o I'm looking at *g* and the signal is just a green bar? I didn't mean to intentionally say that, I completely misread the numbers. When I Press *details* I see a screen with orbital...

    HD Picture Quality

    I don't know what the big deal is with regards to signal integrity and getting the best picture but I am getting 119-120's on my Signal and my HD is just about perfect! However with some channels (with lower bit rates) I do see tiny blocks of pixelation with fast moving content... 3000 Miles...

    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    When I cross that bridge (if ever) I'll be sure to let the forum know... Btw, I just signed up for Dish (and I was given Cinemax for year/penny ) a few days ago... I wasn't already signed up for this promotion months ago, (like many in this thread) make sense? You really think they gave me...

    722 2nd TV Aspect Ratio

    1.) You are connecting a 42inch Widescreen Panasonic to a coaxial feed from your 722 Receiver that was designed to output Standard Definition (on tuner #2) in the first place... 2.) When you press the */format button on the 1st TV you'd get: Stretched/Zoom/Partial/Full...... 3.) You cannot do...

    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    My assessment on the matter: Per my contract...as long as I keep auto pay with the card I signed up with...I will have it for a year. I Hope I get a letter or notice! Then I'll post how I got to keep Cinemax for a penny.

    HD Picture Quality

    I don't know what Home Distro means....Is it connected using your RG6 preexisting wiring? Have those technicians connected brand new wiring FROM the dish to your receiver? I don't think they have and sometimes its the little things we overlook can be the catalyst for unhappiness.

    Dish vs. DirecTV

    You should know things like vision quality/provider preference means nothing to some people who may not get the picture they are paying for due to atmospheric issues/subpar installations which may be unbeknownst to them. I just had Dish installed two days ago, and I love it better than...

    HD Picture Quality

    The key element I've yet to see you mention is troubleshooting... -Have you another HDTV, and have you connected this to the 722k? -Have you contacted DISH, have a tech come out, and swap another 722k to test IF it is in fact a faulty hardware unit? -You'd be surprised what an...

    HD Picture Quality

    I'm coming from DirecTV which purportedly has better HD PQ than Cox. I have to tell you since my Dish installation (exactly one day ago) My HD picture is looking very sharp! Your Plasma has 16 inches on my Panny so I have to ask...How far away are you watching/how is your 722k connected? Your...

    HD Picture Quality

    Thanks for the response. I live within range of the LA channels. If I didn't I wouldn't have been able to get those channels I take it. As I understood it, the OTA module allows two live OTA broadcasts to be watched on two different sets instead of one. Yes, there are two channels listed for...

    HD Picture Quality

    I understand what you are saying. The comparisons in my first post illustrate my point: My $30.00 Wal-Mart OTA antenna shows Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 ALL in Widescreen and in much better quality. My Panasonic Plasma is set to *FULL* which is the default widescreen setting. Thank...

    HD Picture Quality

    This is my first post here....So, hi! After quite a bit of research and much procrastination I too took the plunge and ordered a 722K HD DVR Receiver:deal: Initial impressions: The movie channels, HBO, Skinemax, Showtime (in HD) look like they are supposed to look, sharp, detailed and most...
