Just today most of my HD channels have audio only, no video. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Excellent, thank you. I wish I could sneak it over to the parent's house and check it out before Christmas. :) I'm probably more excited than they are lol.

Actually, I'm incorrect. It's not component, it's AV. I don't have a component cable it seems... so maybe the AV is not very good quality and once we move to Component or DVI, it'll be a lot better.

I bought a Samsung SIR-TS160 from Ebay for OTA only HDTV for my folks. I hooked it up to my own Vizio Plasma via component, just to check it out. It finds the OTA stations just fine, and even gives me some limited guide data. My TV doesn't have a DVI input, so I'm using component for now. The...

I agree. :p I think it's a scam. 'Course I still pay for it.

Excellent, that's the model I'm interested in. No access card, and no dish. Just want it for OTA signals.

Thank you I'll check my settings when I get home.

Excellent thank you. Now to find a tuner for them...

ooo Okay, I didn't think of the two tuners as opposed to TV1 and TV2. That clears it up. I'm thinking the little picture of the TV is telling me if it will record on TV1 or TV2, and the round picture is the tuner. That actually helps a lot. :) Thank you. I will look again tonight at the TV...

I just got a new 42" Plasma and HD programming and I love it. Before I upgraded Dish Network we just had it hooked up OTA and got some really nice local stations. So I've been thinking about Christmas... my Dad has a Toshiba 36HF73 flat-screen that he bought two years ago. My Mom and Dad are...
