vinnys025 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just noticed that all my HBO channels, Shotime channels, SCIFI channel, History Channel, NFL channel, Weather Channel, and the BIGTEN channel, just to name a few are in HD. Cool stuff!! However on some channels the audio is out of sync with the lips, what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it yet, these friggin HD channels still drop on me from time to time. Always something with this directv, always something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 45 minutes on the phone(Tests, resets, BS),situation not addressed, so I'm getting a service call Saturday. They came a week ago for the "free dish upgrade" and said that I have the 5 LNB dish so ther was no need. I don't know what to think, because I still get tons of "old" HD channels like HBO, ESPN, YES, all the networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidhuman Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Its a software glitch most likely with the receivers. Dish NEt hs it also, but they got it under control. Best thing to do is reset the box. It might help fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a message 721, that I do not have them on my subscription. CS said everything should be fixed by the end of the weekend. Still trying to get used to the new DVR functionality as compared to TIVO. 100 HD channels by the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your dish says "slime line" on it you have the right dish. http://directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageNR.jsp?assetId=P4370040 Looks like you may have the same problem as me, I have the updated dish yet the channels still drop. They come back on then they randomly drop again. Not only the new HD channels that were released, even the "old" basic ones. With the new HD channels im getting the searching for signal 721 thing, with the old channels I just get a black screen at times. If i come back to the channel a few minutes later the channel is working. Bizzarre. Resetting the box has fixed jack. Please let me know if the repairman fixes your problem.

I have worked with CS and tried re-setting, and finally got onj with a tech. All the tech did was tell me that there are still some glitches, but that they are looking tyo have all the problems resolved by the end of the month.
