I was told the softness is determined if the source is in HD or not and the signal strength. If you can please include some images comparing the two. Like I said I don't have any first hand experience but wonder how bad it really is. If you can show the same still frame for comparison but that...

So on your DTVPal the time is the same for all channels because your CBS is broadcasting TVGOS? Can you give us your CBS call sign? Thank You

Has anyone noticed what Francie Bauer said about the DTVPal and CBS? If this is correct then it is like Anole's idea of setting a master reference time channel. Do you know anything about this pabeader? pabeader, do you know if you know if your CBS is sending the digital TVGuide signal?

TGIF Some boxes have multiple options to upgrade like the Zinwell ZAT-970A* It can upgrade with it's RS-232 port or OTA. Back to the DTVPal. I have not personally seen the DTVPal vs a Zenith DTT901* (it's better then the DTT900) Rammitinski says it's slightly softer on his TV's on good HD...

pabeader what do you know about DTVPal exchanges? At the AVS Forum people are getting told by Dish Network that unless they bought their DTVPal that they can't exchange. Why then were they having other retailers sell them? I don't think that they have updated anything yet but two people were...

Anole, Looks like you were correct about the Channel Master CM-7000 It does let you set the clock or has the Auto setting that would make it like the DTVPal - rely on PSIP time Why are you disapointed with the Channel Master CM-7000?

I think that the problem for a lot of people is that they turn there boxes off. This is putting there boxes into Analog PassThru mode not Maintenance mode and this is why they get the downloading guide screen. A flaw Dish Network made I am realizing that Dish Network made a flaw by not giving...

The NTIA did not want the Analog PassThru feature. The were content with the Digital only converters. It took the Community Broadcasters Association (CBA) to file a lawsuit to get boxes with the Analog PassThru feature as the Digital only boxes are in violation of the All-Channel Receiver Act...

None of the CECB's have both a Digital and Analog tuner so they can't view both. The Philco/Magnavox can be used to view both if you switch remotes. It has a option for it's RF connector when it is on. So if you use the A/V connection you can view digital when you are on the AUX channel and the...

Small world about the remote. Dave Zatz was telling me he was considering other boxes then the DTVPal for his Mom like the Zenith because the Dish Network remote does not turn the TV on and off.

I have heard that the Zenith with it's simple now/next guide will let you scroll to see what is on other channels but will use the current channel's time for accessing the listings. The DTVPal is the same. I have been told that if you are viewing a channel that is transmitting the correct time...

Anole, Did you know that all converter boxes have a problem with their guide listings? Your Channel Master has the same time problem as the DTVPal. And here you were holding off because of this time problem among other things :eek: It's just that it has become more in the spotlight because...

pabeader, I know dallasguy said, "when the DTVPal is left on all of the time" This would mean that he disabled the inactivity timer and you of course said "yepper!" I just wanted to know if letting it go into maintenance mode would also fix the problem like dallasguy said. You should know...

For the "yepper!" are you disabling the inactivity timer? Would letting the box go into maintenance mode also qualify for the "yepper!"? I didn't get anything digital from my house so can't try for myself and don't want to waste gas and time driving closer to San Antonio Mtn. to see if they...

I was just wondering if it did have the Single Station mode if all of the listings in the Guide would be correct. Would there need to be a option to have the listings for each station have their show times either advanced or delayed to show the correct listings? The Single Station mode would...
