I've always had better luck working directly with the installer - usually they're contracted by both dish providers, so they know they'll see you anyway.

We're with Dish now happier & paying less. So suck it Direct TV.<br /><br />And did you happen to buy a new tv when this started? Because if it was a Sony I think I know what the problem is.
