    RGP port

    My projector doest have a DVI input but a M1. I could buy a M1 to DVI adaptor for around $40. The projector came with a M1 cable that will hook up to the RGB port in the back of the Directv receiver. Instead of buying the M1 to DVI adaptor am I getting the same PQ with RGB setup?

    Follow up on installation

    I find the phone line part of the installation odd. They seem to enforce that requirement when they want. I hooked up my kids bedroom to a Directv receiver and they lady on the phone said it was fine not to have it hooked up....Which was fine with me!

    PPV Channels numbering

    I noticed since getting HD that thier PPV are not in HD. Is that correct? I rather order online that drive to the video shop. Dtv sucks on my projector unless its HD.

    I love my HD

    Here is what I noticed with mine. Last night it looked pretty good even with a few lights on behind the projector in the Kitchen which illuminated the living room some. This morning on the other hand I had to brighten the picture as the sun light creeping through the blinds effected the screen...

    ESPN Gameplan without Phone line

    I order all my pay per view online, its better than waiting on hold and getting charged. I moved my tv a few years ago and forgot to hook the phone line back up. It still let me order with the remote and I didnt relize what was going on untill I got a messege on the bottom of the screen...

    I love my HD

    I dont quite understand it myself. I believe its capitable but scales it down to 480p. I know people automatically assume suck when they read that but I havent seen any differences when I look at the higher res big screens at the TV stores. I know thiers are not set up for peak performance at...
