don't be coy, tell us the make and model of the directv receiver
and the cables.
did you ground the feed coax as per instructions?
did you install the dish or did some bozo do it for "free"
what is your average signal strength (this has nothing to do with image quality, I just want to know)
most likely: the NEC 42" is a very high quality monitor, and it shows that the source being broadcast by HGTV is crap.not kidding.

Well at the moment all my equipment is stuffed in the bedroom with six tons of furniture while I anm getting my floors refinished so I can't get the model number. It is a Hughes and it is several yaers old. Since one of the boys gave it to me for christmas I can assume it is on the 'economical' side. :)Grounding? I must be a bad boy cause I was the bozo who did the free installation. I will look into how to ground the cable.
Signal strengh is in the high 90's
Cable is one of the $40 monster cables.
sounding more like an HGTV issue... I believe Hughes makes most of the innerts for directtv units anyway...It is either the quality of the broadcast or the receiver... I'm in San Diego and the image quality i get from HGTV is comparable to CNN and Headline News... not the best, but still pretty good! best is the PPV and HBO channels... Worst, is my local feed of Fox Channel 6... they have other issues.

P.S. grounding of the dish would potentially cause a ground-loop, but if you are not grounding the dish, then i can guarantee that is not the issue.... plus you are using S-Video and not modulating the channels from Coax, right? that means you should experience simmilar interference from any channel from the dish if it were a ground-loop problem.
