I originally posted this on avsforum but thought it might be good to post here too (in case any Dish employees visit here):
Dish has been screwing around with their HD transponders lately. See this thread:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/show...threadid=425446
I'm still unsure just how much worse the overall picture has gotten, but there's definitely new problems with their HD service. Ever since the transponder change, I've been seeing gray squares/blocks in solid colored areas of the screen. It's most obvious on the dark backgrounds in credits/titles. I'm including a screen shot of today's showing of "Attack of the Clones" as an example. These squares change in position and sometimes form longer lines (see the third shot).
Since Dish has not yet started using the extra transponder space, we should complain now and force them to put things back to their original state. Once they start adding new channels, we'll probably be stuck with these problems forever.
P.S. - I'm using a Dish 6000 but this doesn't look like a receiver specific problem.
