Serious Problem

DishPro receivers are more jittery than legacy receiver (and DIRECTV receivers). Most notably, on DishPro receivers it is impossible to watch any sporting event as drop frames are a common occurrance, that is...piece of time missing from the broadcast and the picture starts to skip over the programming and it turns into a slide show instead of normal television streaming. (a herky jerky picture). ....."NOT PIXELIZATION!"

This does not happen on Legacy or DIRECTV receivers. And since it is all DishPro now-a-days, ...if you want sports, you can forget about getting DIP Network!

I haven't seen this on my Dishpro systems. I just switched from a legacy to Dishpro and I would say in my case it has been more reliable and better picture.

I shocked the bejeezus out of myself installing a dp34 switch, but other than that, I've had no issues with mine..

What receiver are you using?

This problem sounds like common 501/8 bug. When it happens, sound goes away and picture skips frame like VCR in x2 mode. Quick turn-off turn-on solves it.

Get a new replacement receiver or have someone look at your setup to see if you have all dishpro lnbs etc. I find the dishpro line much better than the legacy line. I even saw a difference in picture quality . Of course I might be imagining that one. :sure:

There shouldn't be a difference in picture quality, but I did get a slightly stronger signal strength when I switched to dishpro.

Come on guys. "Serious Problem" is obviously a troll.

Either that or he has a serious mental problem to make such a sweeping statement that is obviously wrong.
