    HR20-700/Slimline Question

    I already have 3 HR20-700's and yesterday I had the 5LNB Slimline Dish with the Zinwell 6x8 multiswitch installed. Everything works fine, however when I go through the set-up it finds all of the satellites except the 99. It says it "failed" on that one for all 3 HR20-700's. Is this normal? ~Josh

    A Petition for Universal to Support Blu-ray

    I have started a petition for Universal Studios to support Blu-ray and release their films on the Blu-ray format. I think this will help the consumer as then Blu-ray will be supported by all major studios, most of which are exclusive. It just seems a lot more logical to have Universal go...

    Neat

    I just discovered that both the HDMI output and Component output are active at the same time on the 622. This was not the case with my HD-Tivo. It is nice because I can feed the Projector and LCD in my Home Theater at the same time. ~Josh

    622 5.1 Audio Question

    Today I got my two 622's installed and I am having a problem with the audio. I run both of my 622's through JVC Receivers via HDMI. I can not get the JVC Receiver to recognize and 5.1 material. Everything is output in 2.1. This was never a problem for my HD-Tivo. Anyone have any ideas on how I...

    Maybe I Made A Mistake

    I have been a D* Customer for three years now and decided to switch to E*. With D* I have three HD-Tivo's (HR10-250) and really couldn't be happier with them. I have three Home Theaters in my home and I run each HD-Tivo via HDMI only. The reason I am switching is becuase I hear E*'s HD PQ is...

    My Review of the Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S1

    Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to attend a special showing of the Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S1 at Listen Up in Colorado Springs. I went to the 7 p.m. showing .The Blu-Ray took about the same amount of time to load as the Toshiba HD-A1, so that was a bit frustrating. As compared to the HD-A1, the BDP-S1...
