    Non HD Quality on a Plasma TV

    It is a Coax from TV2 which is not too good of a quality. I am planning to move the receiver connected to the Plasma and see how good is the quality from there. It should look sharper and a T.V. technician once told me Plasma, LCD big screen looks better with the cable box or receiver.

    Dish - What to do about poor Sub Contractor's?

    If the contractor does not drive a DISH NETWORK truck and does not wear a DISH NETWORK outfit, call customer service and request an installer who will for sure drive a DISH NETWORK truck with a outfit. We got the rights to get the best installation and service.

    TV Japan

    Didn't know NHK dramas are consider high quality. I know Fuji produce the high ratings series and there are two more stations, TBS, NTV that do so-so depending on the show. And, Asashi earning the lowest rating of all. TV Japan do air limited dramas from TBS and NTV.
