I guess I should also mention that I have another TV with a RCA DRD430RGA receiver on a Sony KV-32XBR450 that doesn't have any sound difficulties, but utilizes the TV speakers. The problem is one that only exists through the 5 channel speakers via satellite feed. When I use the same 5...

I've been having this weird audio "ping" echo on DirecTV that makes the channels nearly impossible to tolerate. It first occurred several months ago (?6) and then spontaneously disappeared. Now it's back for the last week or so. It seems to happen on most if not all of the SD sat channels...

I'm about 50 miles (or more) from all my stations - and I picked up 10 digital/HD stations. When the D* installers came out to upgrade me to HD last week they didn't figure I'd get a single station, even with their best antenna. I'm using whatever antenna the electrician installed when we...

Poof, it seems to get gone now - was just something happening this morning I guess.

Anyone else getting some strange audio feedback? I thought it was my system at first... but it's only occuring on some (most) channels. Locals are fine; locals in HD are fine; HD channels via satellite are fine; showtime is fine. Pretty much everything else has this high pitched whine in...

I've recently upgraded to DirecTV HD - and got the Samsung 360. Unfortunately my RCA Universal Custom 8 remote control doesn't list Samsung as a possible Satellite box -- no code to enter in. I checked RCA's website, found an updated list, but it still didn't include any Samsung Satellite...

Well I've seen some of the other links noticing audio hiccups on the Samsung 360 - I haven't noticed anything bad yet. The picture looks great on the Sony 40XBR800. The software version of the Samsung 360 is 1.2.03, is there an upgrade that I should expect in the next few days? Thanks

Ok they showed up and installed the HD... got lucky and got 9 stations over the OTA, plus the stations via satellite. They brought a Samsung T360 - above it was suggested that this wasn't a good receiver to get... why? I don't notice anything wrong. Thanks much for any help.

Ok so my current antenna is VHF/UHF, hopefully I wont need to upgrade to a different antenna. Problem is, if the HD broadcasts are significantly lower strength than the usual broadcasts - I may not know until something special is broadcast in HD (well after the installer leaves). I just...

So I placed an order through DirecTV for HD package - they're coming to install Thursday. I was told I would get either a Samsung or Hughes receiver.... which should I be hoping for? Both have DVI I presume.

1) So besides having better reception (range), there is nothing special about a "HD antenna"? 2) Without physically crawling up to the antenna (hard to do) - how can you tell if you've got a VHF/UHF antenna? :what Thanks! :bow

I had an antenna installed when the house was built - I've got a great picture OTA... about the same as the DirecTV picture via satellite. I'm thinking of upgrading to HD with DirecTV (not Voom)... do I need a special antenna, or does it just need to get good reception? Thanks in advance

I know that there are several DirecTV Receivers out there. Does anyone have a link or information on which is a good one to get? I have 2 HD-ready TV's and the HD Satellite Dish (3 prong), so I just need a Reciever/Tuner which I'll probably get off of e-bay rather than paying $350 from...

The old "what does it matter, everyone's doing it, why not take a hit" argument is very weak at best. Again - if 72% of fortune 500 companies jumped off a bridge... TRUTH This poll is quite amazing given the large population that just doesn't want to have anything do to with the homosexual...

My agenda is simple and I've stated it several times. I'd like to get Voom. I'd like to get Voom WITHOUT the homosexual focus channel. Again, why is that such a bad thing?
