just to vouch for some people I just wanted everyone to know that I have had black screens about 4 times this week. This happens regardless of me channeling up or down off of OTA stations or just pressing guide. Direct Tv is better anyways. Free Sunday Ticket and free 4 months of HBO...

Silver Sensor I bought mine from Fry's Electronics, with my friends employee discount. I only paid 20 bucks for it! Not bad. Considering it blows away all other brands that the local stores had. I have been talking to a friend of mine and he said his silver sensor was working better than...

I am also Sammy DLP owner, hln50, and a 811 owner, using component cables. And second the fact that I would never pay someone to come and calibrate my system after I paid for overpriced DVI cables. My picture is bright and that's how i'd like to keep it. Thanks.

I just purchased my Zenith Silver Sensor OTA antenna and I got to say wow. I already bought 2 Terk HDTV antenna's for $40 and both of those were terrible, going out occasionally and I'm not more than 20 miles from the signal. I've used that for about 3 months and today just bought the Zenith...

Hello, today i gave my dish company a call and telling them how i was unhappy with my service with dish. Namely, not getting NFL Network and comparable programming to Direct Tv. I was wondering what i need to know about switching. I've been reading some of these post and it seems that...

After being a HD Dish customer for about 3 months now. The more and more I'm reading about Direct* being better, I want to switch to that. Especially, having NFL sunday ticket for free and NFL network!!? So I guess my question is, Do i have a contract with Dish, I remember seeing commercials...

I'll try that Thanks, I've got to try that one later in the week. Also, do you think that's the reason why sometimes lets say im watching WGN-DT(1&2) and sometimes the sidebars are there and other times its 16x9...sometimes it acts strange sometimes, coming in and out, not just commercials...

Since my last post, everyone has been so helpful, I had one more question for the people here. Since the NFL is being displayed in 720p, do i need to change my 811 setting to 720 display or can i keep it at 1080. I currently leave it at 1080, and it looks great. Just wondering if it'll...

Hi guys, i have a newbie question. I have the 811 running to my Samsung 50"DLP through component wires, all running through my sony reciever (STR-K850P) and then back to my tv through component wires, RCA I think. Well my question is that the sound quality sucks, and doesn't have good...
