I will just keep bombarding Dish with e-mail until they up the bitrate, ESPN-2 HD looks the worst of both. I have 61.5 with the Dish 500, does it look any better on 129?
Are you sure it is Dish only have the issue, could it be ESPN's problem? I see blocking on Charter ESPN-HD. I just switched to cable from dish, I see same problems on cable as I did on dish. Except PQ is better overall.
