Same here, although I've only noticed it when using Surround Sound.

Thanks for that link - looks like you can rent the equip pretty cheap. Nice for doing a proper peaking on your own.

Amen to that! (Took the words right outta my mouth & more eloquently too.)

That's actually a pretty good point. Would be nice to see some curling in HD :eek:

I would try changing the remote's address (A/B switch inside remote battery compartment) or the code (1-16) to see if UHF interference is the problem.

So who should I call to verify this? I don't want to lose my Dish account and then need it when I get my receiver and call All American with the smartcard info.

Subject line says it all. I just talked to All American and asked whether I needed a Dish account or just their equipment to receive the Distants. Looking to get the LA in HD but still receive the current NY/ATL in SD if possible. The dude said I needed to have a Dish account, which I do but...

:(:river

So grandfathering remains! Cool info, thanks!

Quick sorta hypothetical - If I'm in a DMA that currently doesn't get locals thru Direct and have the Distants instead, what happens if/when Direct adds that market's locals? Would I automatically lose my Distants and pick up the locals or would I be grandfathered in until I move or something...

Randy, Yup, I have the SWS 8WB-P splitter, 1 input/8 outs. They definitely gave me a mish-mash of stuff and I'm not happy. Thanks for the help though.

Thanks for the info guys! Based on this, I'm putting it on Solidsignal for sending the wrong components. Any guesses as to why my one reset receiver won't power up or will I have to send that back too?

I'm beginning to wonder myself. I just watched another SWM install vid that specifically said the SWM dish/LNB has only 1 output and uses the SWS 8-port splitter in the house. The LNB I have definitely has 4 coax outs on it, but Solidsignal claims it should be the SWM. Here's the Solidsignal...

Switched from Dish after 9 yrs (self-installed at several homes) to Direct and can't get a bloody signal from the dish. I've got to be missing something obvious. Please help by looking over my setup before I lose all my hair! Like I said, new Slimline 5 SWM, which means all 4 outputs from...
