    NBC Wrong Size

    I am sending my signal into my TV via the S-Video input. You don't think that makes a difference right?

    NBC Wrong Size

    my Tv does not have such an option for auto 16x9 etc, it has a 16x9 mode that if I engage it just shrinks the picture but doesn't fix the issue... good idea though

    NBC Wrong Size

    it does this automatically, I don't touch a thing. Why would I degrate the quality of my picture only during the program, even at all

    NBC Wrong Size

    I am aware of that. The problem is, the program starts (after each commercial break) as letterbox then the bars go away and the image goes full screen, but the right and left sides are chopped off. I know for a fact that should not be happening.

    NBC Wrong Size

    I know it's got nothing to do with my TV b/c the only thing that is problematic is the actual show. soon as it goes to commercial, the picture is normal. it's also weird because when the program goes to commercial, soon as it fades to black, there's a digital pop in the audio. I have the 510...

    NBC Wrong Size

    Hey all Here's one that's got me stumped... for some reason, certain programs on NBC (I think it's the ones that are broadcast in 16x9 or HD ?? ) come in incorrectly. The commercials look fine, then during the show, it starts with the black bars on the top and bottom (like a widescreen dvd)...

    Double Dish Woes

    I'm not mad about it I'm frustrated, because I thought joining DTV would have made things easier and it just looks more complicated. Therefore, if the tech can't get the signal on the second dish, am I completely SOL? I refuse to pay 2 different companies for TV service, I should get it all...

    Double Dish Woes

    Hey Jimbo thanks for your quick reply! I'm in Fort Wayne, IN...they do have locals here from what DTV told me. The installers never really told me why they couldn't get the signal, just that they couldn't get it and therefore weren't going to put the dish up. Very confusing. Will they...

    Double Dish Woes

    Hi All, I'm new to this forum, and new to satellite TV. So far I'm greatly enjoying the much better quality than cable. I was blown away when I first turned it on. However, I am at a standstill since I feel like I was rushed into getting my DirecTV stuff going without being fully informed...
