Thank you to all of the satellite guys for the wealth of info that helped me make my sat choice. I just got my hd/dvr upgrade last Thursday from Directv (of course I am waiting for the new hd channels). I read through the hd/dvr book and I believer everything is set up correctly, but I have...

I have never said that I couldn't tell the difference between my hd and a regular channel (like 242 or something). I immediately could tell the hd, and I love it! What I was saying is that I had my HR20 hooked to my tv via component cables, and at the same time I had it hooked up to my tv via...

My tv is a Panasonic 61HX40. I bought it at Circuit City in 2000, I believe. I have always liked the picture quality. I think the hd looks good on it. I have my audio hooked through a Pioneer surround sound system. I hope this info helps.

I got a great deal by calling retention. They have a direct number, but you have to have a PIN number, which changes weekly, so you might as well call the regular number and ask for retention. I posted the deal I got under "Great Deal." in this forum. I am really happy. It is all because of...

Mike, thank you. The component hookup is red, green, and blue from the receiver to the component hookup to the tv. There is an S video output on the back of the receiver, and I hooked my S video cable that I was using from my old receiver into the Video one input on the back of my tv, as my...

First, let me say a big THANK YOU to satellite guys for the info that I was able to collect over the past few weeks in making my sat. tv decision. I have had D* for about 4 years. Contract ran out a couple months ago. Saw a Dish promo that sounded great - free hd/dvr, free hd programming for 6...

I bought a Panasonic 61 inch tv about 7 or 8 years ago. At that time never heard of HD, but I bought this one because it had better picture quality than the other tvs in the store. It is "HD compatible 1080i." I have never had HD programming yet though. I have always watched SD tv on it, and...

Hello Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I am trying to decide which satellite provider to go with, and this site seems like a good place to find out. Thanks to all who have contributed info. I have learned a lot just today by browsing the forums.
