Hey guys,
I just moved and had to switch from DirecTV to DISH because of the position of the building. (no SW exposure)
Had dish service installed yesterday, got a brand new TV... and the resolution definitely does not look like 1080 HD. Slightly fuzzy edges around everything, some pixelation around graphics, etc...
Called the installer and dish directly, and they're going to come back out but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do myself. Everything on the tv is set correctly, but what concerns me is when I go to diagnostics on the dish menu, it says signal strength is 55 when the strength meter goes up to 120. Both installer and dish says this is a relative number and that's not the problem... I think that's a little suspect.
I remember when I had DirecTV installed years ago, the guy tweaked and tweaked to be sure I was getting the best signal I could. Is DirecTV just that much better than DISH? ...cuz after watching DirecTV for years with perfect clarity, this is driving me nuts.
THANKS!
Forgot to add that I've swapped out HDMI cables, and even swapped TV's... no change in picture quality.
