dhj, I did what you said about direct hook up from Sat to tv, is good, quite good. I think the change from 36" tv to 50" was an adjustment so there was a eye change there. Like you said the final hookup might change some. Hooking up theater package tommorrow. Thanks

Thanks DHJ, yeah,, not hooked up right. I'll try the direct hookup. I wonder if there is an upconversion for the sat signal like you see on these dvd home theater systems. I'm looking into one for a sound system. Can't hear the TV so good when the pellet stove is going. I'll report back...

Picture quality grainy, I checked my signal strentgh and it's 89%. The vivid pic mode did help some. Format selection's full, h-fill, and just looks the best. Is that what you mean about aspect? I just got it hooked up yesterday and was up at 2am today looking at the settings. I know I...

hey all bought a 50" plasma 720p tv. Just hooked it up. Not so good a pic with BUD dsr410. Setting on tv show dsr410 signal is coming in at 480. Any body know of any tricks to increase pic quality? I tweaked with the settings some. It's composite hookup.

Wow ok, yeah 120hz is smart. The 60" mike74820 mentioned at wally world looked good but they are out of stock now, that was quick! Not sure what HZ they were. Going to have to brush up on s-video vs composite cables, I don't know which is which. Thanks

Hey good info here from you folks thanks.. I think with the samsung 60hz is fine for me. The contrast ratio is 80,000:1 I believe. Your'e right about the 410 being the limiting factor of the resolution. What ever it is it looks good to us right now on the old 36" panasonic. I have OTA, I...

Thanks, yeah that's what I've been hearing, most people don't see any difference. Didn't know if with a bigger screen it would be more noticable. I'm looking at a samsung 52" 60hz 1080p at walmart for $898, although they are out and I am waiting for more to come in. They won't sell the...

I have hits w5. Looking into getting a 52" big screen TV. I can get one under a $1000. I know the c-band is digital. The Hdtv is of what use? I don't watch any sports so would the 60hz be sufficient? Anybody have same setup?

Ok thanks, finding my way around here.

Hey all, wondering if satellite subscription for w5 is going continue? I have skyvision w/dsr410 and am happy with it. I guess I could call them. Thanks

Yeah, I've checked out the phillips dvr,, looks like a good one! Walmart has the good prices. Like you said, if you can find one. There's a magnavox 160gb at walmart for $249. I have to wait a while to get one. Good idea Ice on the Radio Shack route, I'll check it out.

Thanks Ice,,, Got the vcr hooked up. What I did't do before was program the vcr,,, auto scan.

Well I finnally got the 10' mesh dish to lock on w5. Had some help from a local satellite guy. Ran me $80. It was worth it! Moved the 410 from a close to dish location to the family room and have 95% signal and +10.5 ebno. Thanks for all the help along the way folks. Messing around with...

Icberg, thanks my compass is set up for declination -15.5 east so I have it set at 156. I tried hand scaning with the dish,,,, done doing that. Talked to a couple of satellite guys today they both said get the dish back to where it was before I messed with it. Then either pull the motor off...

yes from 95667 I show 156 degrees compass 42 degrees elevation,, nothing there unless I didn't move slow enough, or I'm measuring elevation wrong. One dish piont site talked about a -6 declination for elevation. using protractor on back of actual dish. I raised dish still at 156 and get...
