I'm having a problem with DirecTV HD reception, which I think relates to their consistently scummy way of doing business.I have a triple LNB dish with 2 HD receivers - a Samsung which is about 3 years old in my main rig, and a newer DirecTV labeled unit with TiVo in the bedroom. The latter gets every station just fine, but the Samsung (which until recently functioned flawlessly) now has severe problems with certain of the HD stations - 70 (HBO), 71 (SHO), etc. - the picture is severely pixielated with dropouts and will "freeze" the receiver. This really pisses me off, since the Samsung has a much better user interface, switches channels more rapidly and has a LCD display of the tuned station - unlike the DirecTV receiver, which is an utter ergonomic disaster. And the Samsung still works fine on SD channels.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are they deliberately scrambling the signal so that we have to buy their HD receivers? Any other HD receivers WITH CHANNEL DISPLAY you can recommend?
I would ditch DirecTV if it weren't for NFL Sunday Ticket.
