Spotty High Def on one TV

On our living room TV, we often do not receive the High Def channel option (it gives us the error message "Searching for Signal on Satellite In 1...(771)."  Our upstairs TV gets the high def option fine.  The phone support said it must be the cables, but I have swapped out what I can and no change.

Can't search high def channels

Have an HR20-700 HD DVR. When I search for shows, it'll find the show, but only on the non-high def version of the channel.

Prices are to high

I'm paying $155 a month for direct tv, it was not this high until ATT bought it out. I've had my service for 5 years, it's sad that ATT has deals for only new customers, what about your long term customers? You no longer appreciate out business obviously!
