HBO HD signal trouble

838 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  kucharsk
Over the past few days, my reception of HBO HD has been acting a bit screwy. There's little hiccups and dropouts occurring. These are little dropouts in audio and sometimes dropouts or hangs in the video. Sometimes a dropout will occur only once every few minutes. At other times it's going on every few seconds. Blood Diamond just finished playing and on the end credits the dropouts were occurring like crazy.

None of the other channels are behaving like this. HBO HD is the only one acting like this.

I've tried rebooting the system and even unplugged the power to force the receiver to re-acquire the satellite signal. That hasn't helped.

FYI, I have the DishHD Absolute package, SD locals and HBO. My receiver is a ViP 722 connected to a Dish 1000.2 satellite dish.

Anyone else seeing this issue with HBO HD or have some idea on how to fix it?

Yes...and last night it was especially bad.

This hasn't been happening with HBO HD via C-Band satellite, so it sounds as if there may be equipment issues somewhere at DISH.
