    If they get HD Locals in Tucson, then I might seriously consider switching back to Dish Network. Currently I am using a Tivo DVR on Comcast, and as much as I love the Tivo, I'm having pixelation issues that neither comcast or tivo claim responsibility for.

    Let us know what you decided CKMac. I'm interested to hear about your decision and experience.

    I figured I'd chime in as I've just recently left Dish Network for Comcast (very difficult decision indeed). I was very happy with Dish Network for the longest time, but I recently moved to an area where I can not get a clear OTA signal, so therefore I am no longer able to get my locals in HD...

    I really don't live out in the sticks, it's just I moved right behind a mountain that blocks the Digital OTA signals from the main broadcast towers in Tucson. I can get a couple channels if I angle the antenna towards a repeater tower but mostly i get lousy analog channels and a bunch of Spanish...

    I would first like to say that I am greatly torn to be leaving Dish Network and if it was not for my current inability to receive OTA HD I think I'd be with Dish for a very very long time. I have tried many DVR's and none have impressed me since leaving Tivo a couple years ago, but the ViP 622...

    Okay, fixed it. Reset to factory defaults on the TV and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for all your help! I'm an idiot.

    I have done a full system reset with no change. The picture is still off center. I've also checked the cables and there are no problems there either. Any other suggestions?

    For some reason I came home from work today to find that the picture on my ViP622 has been shifted slightly to the left. It's been fine before but now when I open the program guide you can only see the D portion of the HD channel headings (the H is missing). Also programs look to be slightly off...

    I moved to an area that is outside of the line of sight for the major network TV Towers that broadcast in the Tucson area. Basically the towers are on Mt. Bigelow and I am at the base of a ridgeline that blocks the view of the towers. And unless i can get an antenna that is about a thousand feet...

    Okay, I just moved from a location where I was able to get a fairly decent signal on my ViP 622 to a new location where the signal isn't quite as good. When the installer first came out to setup my new dish he said that he didn't think i'd have any problems at all. Well after fiddling for a bit...

    Well that sucks. Any work around? Such as getting a stand alone Digital QAM tuner box or something? It hurts painfully not being able to record HD OTA broadcasts!

    I just moved to a new apartment in the Oro Valley area outside of Tucson, AZ that is unable to get a signal from the OTA broadcast antennas that are located on the other side of a mountain. I hooked my TV up to the cable connection that pre-exists in the apartment and I am able to get ALOT of...

    I've been with Dish Network for 10 months now, and I've been a completely satisfied customer. But I am looking to move in February and the apartment that I am looking at does not have a clear view of the southern sky. With my being locked into an 18 month contract, what are my options?

    Isn't the HD enabler fee like $7 anyway? Why not just go ahead and pay the $10 and get the HD version of your AT package? I really can't understand/justify the enabler fee, so at least I will feel like I am getting something for my money with the new packages. Perfect timing for me as well...

    Ron, have you tried the fix suggested above? I would really like to hear if anyone else is finding that certain channels are causing the system's audio encoding to fail.

    I can confirm that boylehome's fix works! I just removed all of my OTA PBS stations and did a reset. No more audio loss on any OTA channels. I am in Tucson (DMA #68) and my local OTA PBS stations are KUAT Channel 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. It's been several hours now and I still have no audio...

    Heh, insurance has always pissed me off. I've actually had really good rates due to my being in the mliitary, but it still frustrates me. Being under 25, I still pay a premium. Since I got my license at age 16, I've already paid more than $15,000 in car insurance. And I have never filed a...

    The Versus channel is HD and you do indeed have to have the 250 plan to get it, as well as a National Geographic and a few other channels. Personally I've been frustrated with Dish lately. I am, and have been charged for the 5.98 DVR fee since I signed up for service five months ago. Anytime i...

    Well the first thing you have to make sure that you remember is that the majority of people only speak up when they have a problem. If things are going along swimmingly, people usually don't bother to say anything at all.

    Maybe it's because i don't have a phone line connected to my reciever?
