    HDMI Audio and Component Video question

    I finally figured it out. What a knot head I am!!! I did run the Component out from the Blu ray to the TV and the HDMI out from the Blu ray to my receiver. My mistake was, I kept using the Blu Ray input on the receiver rather than HDMI3 input. I had the BD plugged into HDMI3, but was still...

    HDMI Audio and Component Video question

    I tried it, but it still won't work. I have to be doing something wrong, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I guess the solution would be a new TV, but that just isn't going to happen right now, my Hitachi works just fine. Thanks for the help!

    Problem With My Satellite?

    Well, the 2 service guys arrived here at 7:15 and were gone by 7:30. They said they couldn't find anything wrong. Unfortunately, there wasn't any problems for them to see or hear. They said if I continue to have problems to just call DTV and have them send someone out again. So far...

    Problem With My Satellite?

    I have been having this exact same problem for months now. I have called DTV about 5 times to complain and all they have me do is re-set the receiver. When I called this past Sunday to complain again, I told them I wanted this resolved once and for all. My problem involves all of the local HD...

    New York MPEG 4 Details

    Will Directv contact me? Just curious on how this is all going to work. Will Directv contact me to set up the MPEG4? Or do I have to call them. I haven't heard anything from them. I live in the New York area ( North Jersey ) and heard NY went live with MPEG 4 12/28.

    HD Upgrade Path

    Beast, Are you using the GainMaster Dish? I felt that the installer was just trying to take the easy way and figured it was just good enough. I have also considered paying the 7.99 a month that Directv charges for the protection plan. Then I could just call and say I need the dish aimed...

    HD Upgrade Path

    GainMaster Dish I have also been considering the GainMaster dish. I have good signal on 101 and 119 (90-95)and a very fair signal on 110 ( 60+ ). I have thought about bringing in someone to get the signal up on the 110, but the guy when he did the install, said this is typical. 90+ on 101...

    Multiswitch Question

    Using all 3 satellites Thanks dishjockey, I am using all three satellites. The way my dish is set-up, you can not bypass the built-in multiswitch. The multiswitch is built into the end of the arm that holds the 3 LNB's. The LNB's plug right into the multiswitch. 4 wires then run through the...

    Multiswitch Question

    Is there a reason to replace Phase II dish? I had no idea the dish should have been replaced. Actually it seems to work fine. I get all the channels without problem, with the one exception of the new FOX HD 88. I always seem to have a problem between the audio and video out of sync...

    Multiswitch Question

    Which Multiswitch??? OK, I have been going a lettle crazy trying to figure out which multi switch I should get. I already tried the Terk BMS 58 and an Eagle Aspen DIRECTV® Approved 4x8 Multiswitch (DTV4X8). Neither of these have worked for me. I have what I believe is a Phase II dish. Para...

    Audio/Video Not insync on FOX 88 HD

    Sony Hd 100 I have the Sony HD 100 , so I guess it isn't limited to the Samsung. I do have a replacemnt Sony HD300 coming, so hopefully that will take care of that, if it is the receiver that is the problem. How can you get both 88 and 89? I am only getting 88. I am new with Directv, so I...

    Multiswitch question

    Flex Port Actually, I wouldn't need the Flex Port. At least I don't think I would. I would just connect the 4 wires coming from my dish to the 4 inputs on the switch. Am I correct? Kevin

    Multiswitch question

    Phase II Dish not Phase III OK....apparently, my dish is a Phase II dish and not a Phase III. I picked it up a few years ago as a 2 LNB oval dish. I then purchased a Sat C kit and added that to the dish. All has been working flawlessly. I now want to add a 5th receiver, which is where I...

    Best HD Receiver???

    Looking to replace my Sony Sat-HD100. What is the best choice? I was originally looking at the Sony HD300, but then saw that the LG LSS-3200A was essentially the same, but for less money. My remote is a Sony RM AV3000 but I don't see any codes for the LG listed. I need to make sure that I...

    Use of Terminators/Multiswitch question

    Terminators and Dish I will definitely get rid of the terminators. I did think of removing the inner wire just so I could cap off the unused ports. The dish I have is a 3 LNB Winegard. I am assuming it is a Phase III. It has the 3 lnb's attached to the end of the arm and I am guessing...

    Use of Terminators/Multiswitch question

    I was wondering if the unused input and output ports of a Multiswitch should be terminated with those 75 ohm screw on terminators. I am not using the OTA input and 3 of the 8 output ports are not being used. It is a Terk 5 X 8. It doesn't seem to be working with my Phase III dish. I...
