No, I just got the vip612 yesterday. The new TV had been the second TV on a vip622 so it was not connected via HDMI to anything. I do believe there is a handshake problem between the TV and the receiver. The TV had no problem handshaking with my PS3 through the HDMI but the 612 is definitely...

I am sorry if you did not understand what I was trying to say. I will try again. The receiver is not "remembering" it is connected via the HDMI cable. I have to "remind" it by cycling to the HDMI input again from the TV. Once the TV sends the input source to the receiver, it connects and I...

This is my problem: I have a brand new VIP612 hooked up to a Philips TV through HDMI. Every time I turn on the TV, no picture through the HDMI. I cycle through the TV's video sources back to the HDMI source the TV was originally on and the picture comes back. All other outputs(component...

This has happened more than once but we lose our hd channels of all channels with hd, local or national. Is this happening to anyone else? It is happening right now. It only seems to affect my vip622 not my 612. Is anyone else having this problem with 622?

There have been 1080p televisions out for some time now. Why don't the receivers have a 1080p setting for TV type under the HDTV setup? Since they don't have such a choice, which is the better one to use if you have a 1080p tv, 720p or 1080i? Does it make a difference?

This might sound strange but I didn't even notice they were gone but now that I do, I miss them. I really liked Rave, probably my favorite, then MonsterHD. How come my bill didn't go down or is it?

I would also like to know about local HD channels. Because of mountains and such in my area, I can only pick up Fox and NBC over antenna. Is there any set schedule? Have they been rolling out HD local channels on a regular basis, like one DMA a month, or is just when they feel like adding...

I want Sci-Fi HD on Dish. Any news on when or if it is coming soon?

Boy, this whole thing is just getting messy. Paramount goes exclusive and Nickerson, pro HD-DVD guy at neutral Warner, suddenly wants to pursue other interests. I believe Nickerson prefers neutrality because he sees the ability right now to make money from both sides even though he personally...

M$ is the villain because I believe they have an alterior motive for backing HD-DVD. Like I said before, I believe they don't want either format to take hold. They want the "war" to continue. This, of course, is only my opinion; but one held by more than me. Patronizing me now. I thought...

So What? Do you think this format war continues for long if Universal goes neutral? Of course money is changing hands all around for favors. If fortunes were reversed, I would say the same thing about BD and would probably have an HD-DVD player in my house instead of a PS3. Universal is...

L4.05 still here. I want to join the party! This may sound really silly but will the PQ improvement be that noticeable after Voom goes to MPEG-4?

I just watched the Joe Kane video and his statement you quoted above was all based on his false belief that Sony and BD would only use MPEG-2 as their codec and thus would use an inferior codec to AVC or VC-1 and then must just be jumping into the market to prey on the unsuspecting. As we all...

It's ALL about greed. Universal and its parent must be banking on something else (HD-VOD) because they are losing potential sells by not being format neutral. Whatever they are banking on must be big. As I have read here and other places, I also believe that M$ is covering Universal's losses...

Has everyone read the HiHD article about an interview with Universal's Craig Kornblau and The Digital Bits piece about Universal's executive vp of marketing Ken Graffeo's comments. This war is over the minute Universal goes neutral. Kornblau and Graffeo both know that. I would be interested...
