When I first started this thread I was having the commercial freeze on two channels. I finally got a rep at Dish who said they were aware of the problem and would try to fix it by today. Guess what? They did it! I have been watching these two stations most of the day and the commercials that would always freeze the screen, eg, "The Movies" documentary on CNN, are now running just fine. Don't know what happened but for once Dish came through as promised and on time - and yet another rarity! Kudos!!
