    Where are the upgrades for Mitsu HD Sets?!

    When I purchased my 65" Mitsubishi 65611 in 2002, one of the reasons was that it was marketed as being prepared for future technology...it could always be upgraded to "the next big thing". It could always be current (for a price, of course)...as the technology advanced in HD, the Mitsubishi...

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    Is Ron's TV installers saying that there are absolutely no roof installs? I have tough HOA covenants (HMill) and that could be a deal breaker, unfortunately.

When I asked him if he thought it would be usefull to have it professionally calibrated for a couple of hundred dollars, he said basically don't waste your money.The calibrate...

    New 811 install...where's the beef?

    "Use the device button the remote to select DTV and hit enter" I'm at work so I'm trying to visualize what you're referring to. When you hit "device" on the remote, it brings up different icons like antenna, satellite, vcr, dvd, etc. Are you saying that DTV should have its own icon to...

    New 811 install...where's the beef?

    Scuba I think you may be on to it...I think the settings in the tv have to be changed. Unbelievable...in 20 minutes I've gotten more insight into this problem then in the four hours the two Dish installers stood in front of my tv with shoulders shrugged, shaking their heads. Dish should be...

    New 811 install...where's the beef?

    To reiterate...when I hit the format button on my mitsu remote, it changes the picture into the various configurations, but always registers 480i. When I try the format button on the 811 remote, the names of the different configurations appears on the screen, but the picture never changes.

    New 811 install...where's the beef?

    My screw-up...I should have said DTV not DVI. So if that's in place where it should be, you think perhaps that I have to change something in my tv's settings?

    New 811 install...where's the beef?

    Had the 811 installed yesterday on my Mitsu 65611.I am NOT a techie on this stuff, but I know that the tv broadcasts in 480i, 480p and 1080i. All my HD channels are coming in at 480i...isn't that SD?I cannot get it to format in 1080i. ESPNHD looks no better than what I already have. The...

    Just had a call from Dish

    The $99 Question... ...is it still Dish property or do you own it? It was referred to me as an activation fee by the CSR so that sounds like lease to me.
