    revisit the 60 Hz vs. 120 Hz debate, or not

    The Samsung 120hz models are capable of 120hz but will indicate 60hz if that is the input source at the time. Their 60 hz models are not capable of 120 reguardless of input. Your model always has 120 hz. on and ready to go. Forget what the indicator says. Call Samsung for confirmation of...

    ExpressVu card swap issue

    Try putting the new smart card into the receiver and try doing a check switch. If it will check the switch, when its finished, shut off the Bell receiver with the remote and it will turn itself on and do a software update and load a guide. Worth a try.

    Confused!!!

    If you are using a SD receiver then 61.5 doesn't offer much. If you have a HD receiver then 61.5 is good to have.

    Old Receivers

    I wouldn't throw them out. They could be donated to a school in your area which could use them for instructional and learning purposes for electronic programs. Also the 301 receiver could be updated to its latest version showing all the satellite locations and be used as a tuning device for...
