I'm with Lew, it sounds like you've got a weak signal. My suggestion is to spend less money on the cables and get a decent HD receiver. At my work, we get returns on the Hughes boxes all the time. Get something with a DVI out on it, like the Samsung or the Sony, both of which seem to do pretty...

A new house with RG59 run? Wow, every new house I've ever heard of uses RG6. Yes, you do need to use RG6, at least from the dish to the box you do. You could use RG59 from the box to the TV, but you should really be using S-video at the least. RG6 uses a thicker center conductor to handle the...
