The settings I have been using on the LG Blu Ray for: Audio: set to "Primary Pass Through" - Sony Receiver does the decoding video: Resolution is set to "Auto" I have run component cables directly from the BD to the TV. For resolution my choices are: Auto 480i 480p 720p 1080i...

I finally figured it out. What a knot head I am!!! I did run the Component out from the Blu ray to the TV and the HDMI out from the Blu ray to my receiver. My mistake was, I kept using the Blu Ray input on the receiver rather than HDMI3 input. I had the BD plugged into HDMI3, but was still...

I tried it, but it still won't work. I have to be doing something wrong, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I guess the solution would be a new TV, but that just isn't going to happen right now, my Hitachi works just fine. Thanks for the help!

I just purchased a SONY DA3400ES receiver and an LG Blu Ray player. My TV is an older HDTV Hitachi that only has Component Video inputs. I am using component video cables from the BD to the sony receiver and then out to the tv. Video this way is fine. I know I can not pass the video from an...

Well, the 2 service guys arrived here at 7:15 and were gone by 7:30. They said they couldn't find anything wrong. Unfortunately, there wasn't any problems for them to see or hear. They said if I continue to have problems to just call DTV and have them send someone out again. So far...

I have been having this exact same problem for months now. I have called DTV about 5 times to complain and all they have me do is re-set the receiver. When I called this past Sunday to complain again, I told them I wanted this resolved once and for all. My problem involves all of the local HD...

Mets in HD??? Anyone know if the Mets will be in HD???

Will Directv contact me? Just curious on how this is all going to work. Will Directv contact me to set up the MPEG4? Or do I have to call them. I haven't heard anything from them. I live in the New York area ( North Jersey ) and heard NY went live with MPEG 4 12/28.

Beast, Are you using the GainMaster Dish? I felt that the installer was just trying to take the easy way and figured it was just good enough. I have also considered paying the 7.99 a month that Directv charges for the protection plan. Then I could just call and say I need the dish aimed...

GainMaster Dish I have also been considering the GainMaster dish. I have good signal on 101 and 119 (90-95)and a very fair signal on 110 ( 60+ ). I have thought about bringing in someone to get the signal up on the 110, but the guy when he did the install, said this is typical. 90+ on 101...

Using all 3 satellites Thanks dishjockey, I am using all three satellites. The way my dish is set-up, you can not bypass the built-in multiswitch. The multiswitch is built into the end of the arm that holds the 3 LNB's. The LNB's plug right into the multiswitch. 4 wires then run through the...

Is there a reason to replace Phase II dish? I had no idea the dish should have been replaced. Actually it seems to work fine. I get all the channels without problem, with the one exception of the new FOX HD 88. I always seem to have a problem between the audio and video out of sync...

Which Multiswitch??? OK, I have been going a lettle crazy trying to figure out which multi switch I should get. I already tried the Terk BMS 58 and an Eagle Aspen DIRECTV® Approved 4x8 Multiswitch (DTV4X8). Neither of these have worked for me. I have what I believe is a Phase II dish. Para...

Sony Hd 100 I have the Sony HD 100 , so I guess it isn't limited to the Samsung. I do have a replacemnt Sony HD300 coming, so hopefully that will take care of that, if it is the receiver that is the problem. How can you get both 88 and 89? I am only getting 88. I am new with Directv, so I...

Anyone else having problems with Ch 88 Fox HD??? The Audio and Video are not insync with each other. Happens all the time. I switch to either 5 or 388 and no problems there. Also no other problems on any other channel, at least I haven't come across any. Kevin
