I have a 40XBR800 Sony TV. Like you say it is 4:3, but it does have a 16:9 function that "squeezes" the picture into a 37" widescreen. The picture looks great to me, but I'm sure the newer 34" widescreens with finer pitch look better - I just didn't want to downgrade in size either so I chose...

Hey guys... I'm looking to buy a "PERFECT 10 QUICK DBS PIPE ADAPTER" so I can mount my new Phase III DTV dish on my existing Primestar roof mount. I'd like to pick up a good satellite finder as well. Can anyone recommend some good reputable places online to order from? And if it's not too...

Hi guys - I'm new to the forums, but I need to pick your brains here. I have an old oval Primestar dish which I successfully had running a single DirecTV LNB for about 4-5 years now. I recently wanted to upgrade to HDTV so I went out and bought a triple-LNB and tried to mount it to the...
