    Dolby Digital dropouts/static?

    My $.02 I have had external sound problems since day one. The progression of H-20's (optical) was a horrible affair. I was finally upgraded to an H-21 over a month ago and it was pretty smooth sailing. The box did a software update on 11/5 and the next day the Hiss/Pop made the cat jump 3 feet...

    Advise on hdmi cable.

    (Yes I am a newb.) I recently got connected to Direct tv, on the skinny. One TV with a single H20 receiver. I have a 2nd set in the bedroom and want to connect it to the box in the living room. Both are lower end LCD's. A 50' hdmi minimum, longer may be easier. I have a "Leapfrog" and a 2nd...
