As this appears to be the largest Forum with HD content, I am pleading for other 6000 owners to help me out.
I just had my receiver replaced because I was experiencing very strange picture motion and the new one does the exact same thing, so I need to see if other 6000 receivers are doing this.
The best channel to see this effect clearly and easily is Ch 163, VH1 Classic. Before you say, yeah, the channel sucks, sure it does, but hear me out. Watch the channel for awhile. What you (hopefully) will see is a very inconsistent picture image. Jimi Hendrix's Fro will move around on his head. Mic stands will move when they are still. Closeups of peoples face will show their eyes moving in differnt directions and their face contorting like silly putty.
Don't watch movement, watch the background and static objects, especially objects that are of a solid or high contrast as compared to their surroundings.
I see this effect on OTA channels as well, so it MUST be my receiver (or an inherent problem with the 6000 itself). I have seen it on HBO and SHO HD channels with a 4:3 upconvert program, but have not yet seen it on a 1080i show. I also haven't seen it on a very good OTA SD channel such as our local UPN in Portland, OR.
Please look hard at your 6000 picture and post here if you see what I am experiencing. If I don't get any responses here, I am going to persue getting another receiver.
Please don't post a generic reply about how Dish PQ sucks, I just want posts about this picture anomalie.
Thanks.
