My situation is I need an HD DVR. I already have the Zenith HDR230 and it is limited in many ways unlike the 10-250. I am not on satellite nor wish to be on satellite. My concern is HDTV OTA only. Can I use the 10-250 without a satellite dish? I suspect the answer may be yes but I will not...

It is time to get it serviced or replaced. : yes Good Luck!

And what this could mean to the future of HDTV... http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/blog/view.php?id=27267

All satellite receivers must be turned in to a factory depot for repair due to copy protect issues. No manufacturer supports field service of these products. :no If there is a fix it will have to come out of RCA and be handled by a repair depot. I would not hold my breath either based on the...

While screen protectors are helpful for some they do degrade your picture. If you don't need the protection it is best get it removed. Before you remove yours... http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=950

As a service center I find this varies from one manufacturer to another. I have seen perfect pixel responses. Oddly on one it developed a bad pixel 60 days after changing out the light engine. Bear in mind this applies to LCD and LCOS only and is not a problem with DLP. Your best bet is...

Thanks

Thank you so much! I tried a search for "h-line problem" and came up with this thread only. Could you please direct me to the best thread that I can send other people to?

Hi! We have a member with a weird problem and wanted to see if there was any info here about it. Thanks

Sorry they didn't go any further... That means if you want your other formatting modes you have to feed it an SD scan rate as in 480P or 480I. Some receivers can be switched back and forth from the remote. also... OAR, Original Aspect Ratio - Black Bars and Burn-in...

FAYRICH, Digital displays do not come in interlace only progressive. You are looking for a 1080P display. ;) Hmm... Actually, check out the DLP link. A first! But bear in mind this is a horizontal interlace application that has never been done and is not native to the vertical interlace...

That is to be expected although there a few rare birds out there that you cannot bypass the internal scaler and 1080I actually has less artifacts but you still have more artifacts than you would if the scaler could be bypassed. Always start with the rule of thumb, match the native scan rate of...

You are not bypassing the internal scaler which is why the difference seems so much greater to you. For the Sammy you need a DVI enabled DVD Player and feed it 720P. The Sammy DVD-931 as Carl mentioned is a good example. Try one and let us know if you experienced a difference. The 768 LCD...

Hi Barney, Nearly all agree a calibrated image is a better image! Please let us know how it turned out! And if you like please post your results at HD Library as well. http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=1202 Anybody else interested in this service? What is an ISF calibration...

Hi Sean, What is the native scan rate of your display and technology? What DVD player at what scan rate? Most folks are not seeing a huge difference between SD-DVD and broadcast HD so I wonder if your experience may be an equipment/setup issue. That said maybe you are simply picking more...

Due to the screen door effect, the ability to see pixel structure, the distance you are considering may be the ticket. For more info... http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=37

Video is a system of standards so all you need are the connectors and cable designed for this application. http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=310 http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=199

Have you calibrated the contrast and brightness controls using a calibration DVD? With a digital display you don't really have these kinds of controls as they need to be set for maximum dynamic range for the encoding process for the display device. Put another way you set them and then based on...

Actually on any TV. That is why there is an additional charge for each scan rate. That said you can still use the same settings you obtained with the DVD as a ballpark for the others. With HD you can set nearly all the same things with a test pattern from HDnet or other services such as...

Depends on the native scan rate of your display. What is your display? Brand, technology and age?

Yanks2402, While there are DVI to component or VGA convertors they are useless for HDTV applications because that version of DVI incorporates HDCP. There are a number of HD displays with DVI that will not work either because they do not have the HDCP interface. As for upscaling DVD players...

Hmm... Don't where you got that price :no Please check that link again for the correct pricing and also an additional post to address your concerns over value. http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=4 Check this link as well for that... http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=1201...

Glad to hear this worked out for you. Before you go tweaking your display though consider this... http://www.hdlibrary.com/viewtopic.php?t=106

Most displays will have a setting or mode called movie, film, theater or pro which reduces the contrast by half usually putting you in the ball park for better imaging besides changing some other settings. Contrast is the biggest concern. Brightness is set based upon the ambient light in your...
