    HDTV Picture

    I currently have a 811 receiver which is hooked up (DVI) to a RCA HDTV television. I have noticed that when I switch from 480p to 1080i the picture color fades in and out (light to dark). If I switch back to the 480p then the color does not fade in and out. Any solutions to fix this problem??

    Need help on local HD channels

    Went to antennaweb.org and found where all my local HD channels were. I have a couple of questions about my findings: 1) Currently, I have an indoor antenna hooked up and I am receiving a HD local channel that is 30.6 miles away. Why can't I receive a channel that is located less than 30...

    Please explain......Twin or Quad???

    Simon Looking at the picture, the back of it does look like I have a twin, but I know a twin would not have four cables coming out of it, or would it? Since I have four cables coming out of the LNBF then I am wondering why it would not show on my check switch. I appreciate all the responses...

    Please explain......Twin or Quad???

    Goose I have four wires and no switch so I am assuming I have a Quad. I only have one receiver hooked up and the cable runs straight from the dish to the receiver. Soon, I will hook up another receiver to another room so I guess all I would have to do is run one of the other cables to the...

    Please explain......Twin or Quad???

    Simon and DP Logo What Simon stated: Note that for DishPro, you can tell a Twin vs. a Quad from a distance by looking at the DP logo. Black letters, no background is a Quad, Black background with white (gray) letters is a Twin. Looking at my DP Logo, I have a black background with white...

    Best OTA antenna?

    Installation help needed.

    Thanks for the response. Are you talking about connecting the cable off the satellite to the cable of the room? Not running one continuous line from satellite to room, correct? Also, does it matter which of the remaining three cables I choose from the satellite?
