    NEC display cutting off image

    dstke - Do the Dish remotes Control your NEC? dstke - Do the Dish remotes control your NEC? Also, do you use the NEC 'stadium mode' on SD programming, if so how does it look? TIA as I am considering a NEC plasma. Miguel

    post pictures of your setup!

    Bobby: Yup he got me - forgot about the X-Men movie that was on when I snapped the picture. Probably my fixation on his "Bush / 4 more wars" avatar threw me off. That always happens when I see, um (being nice), er propaganda. :) Regards.

    Gary: The Plasma has great flesh tones and everything else - truly 3D and window-like; sadly, my camera operator is the suck. The pic was not intended to be a screen shot. Regards.

    LOL. Single huh? Actually I like the look of the cabinet, if not the Lladros. Since you are impressed with cost of things (like that handsome Rotel gear) you might like the porcelains more than you think. :) Attached is a pic of the setup closed. The MX-3000 allows everything to be...

    921 Picture Size question

    LOL. Antiquated, hehe. You do know your TV is rear projection right? The Sony HD Wega CRT XBR is a GREAT set. Compare your picture to his - especially the blacks and decide which is 'antiquated'. Can your set do 1080i in NATIVE rate? Nope. Neither can my 50 inch plasma. Not to knock...

    P267 has arrived

    I turned the 811 off with the *front* panel button. Short press not a press and hold to cause a reboot. Leave the TV on. After a few minutes of being off (or seconds even) the 811 will tell you it is updating. Good luck!

    P267 has arrived

    FINALLY! So now after several hours of the 70's channel I will not wake up with platform shoes, large lapels, and face painted like Gene Simmons? Crap.

    Team Summit update thread!

    Scott: Sounds like your having fun! With regard to the DPP44 + switch - is it shipping and can you confirm that it will work with the 721? On the issue of OTA, any estimates on availability dates and models (811, as above)? I am a bit worried about the guide info being a crap shoot...

    New software downloading on my 811 now!

    Welcome aboard! Just go to the menu - setup - system info is what you are looking for. It will have a software version - the old version is now 265 - I guess the new is 266. To get the update: turn off your unit with the power button on the unit itself. Should have no lights on it. Just...
