DVI, Hughes HD, cabling questions...

[mjferguson]

Just bought a Hughes HD receiver. Looked great when I hookup it up, but 1 day later the OTA channels are blurry and dark. SD channels still look OK. I am using a DVI cable.

Also, Trying to justify Monster coax from wall to receiver. If all the cable running from my satellite is high quality cable (but not monster) then how is a few feet of VERY high quality cable from the wall to the receiver really going to make a difference? If the signal is going to get messed up the monster coax is going to fix anything, right?

I also disconnected the coax from the receiver to my TV last night. Would that cause the problem? I thought the locals could run through the DVI and I think that still are even if the coax is attached?
