I have D* svc., with a 5LNB, H20, and older RCA SD rcvr., and Sharp Aquos 32" LCD. Several times a night, while viewing SD the color loses green and blue briefly, then comes back. Repeats a couple times then stops. From the HR20, I get "blocking" of the image, and then it restores. Climbing...

Charper1, I have the H20 receiver, no mfr. indicated, but on back says "mfr.# 600", date 1/13/2006. It's an MPEG 4 rcvr. with an input filter to allow receiving MPEG2 signals. I don't know the software ver. it's running.

I haven't posted since I upgraded to D*HD with H20 rcvr installed. There are still sync issues- most noticeable on HD programs. I have tried component video, and HDMI connections to the Sharp 37" LCD; audio for now is fed to the display's spkrs. I hoped the HDMI connection would resolve...

I also commented on this sync issue in "D*Upgrade Woes".... my Sharp LCD may be causing some of the sync issues- have seen this on LCD, plasma, etc. any digital display. I suspect the higher resolution signal from my H20 makes it worse. Before I got HD, SD did it too- if I used S-Video...

I almost gave up trying to get my D* upgrade to HD. Here's the rundown: 2/13: Tech arrives, says can't install new dish on my roof cuz it's flat, they need spl. mount base. He cks w/dispatcher; resched. for 2/15. D* gives me a $20. credit for not installing. I take a 2nd day off work, no...

Weighing choices, D* vs E* " ...My belief is this. How important is DVR features and getting Locals in HD either by satellite or with an over the air antenna." Thanks for the reply- I did try OTA reception with an indooor antenna from R.S.- worthless. A good article in CE Pro magazine...

My first post- apologies in advance. Curr. have D* Tot Ch in SD, no prem's, have an Aquos 37" LCD, frugal so waiting to go HD til D*MPEG4 in ops to avoid repurchase of HD DVR hdwe. Any info on how they'll upgrade user's HD hdwe when MPEG4 is in use? I've considered switching to E* w/HD(MPEG2)...
