    H20 Runs Warm

    The h20-600 I had initially put out enough heat to fry an egg on.The guide never worked smoothly and after about 4 months it started constantly rebooting itself. D replaced it with an h20-100,runs a lot cooler and guide works much better.

    HR20-700 - First Impressions

    I've had mine running for about 4 weeks nows.Not sure which software v is on it right now but I haven't forced any of the beta downloads. 1) I get audio drop outs every once in while but not to the point that it really irks me.It's nowhere near as bad as the h20-100 I've got upstairs. 2)I...

    WGN HD & Reciever upgrade question...

    I live very close to you and have the hr20-700.My guide shows 2 different channels for 2,5,7,9,32. One sd and one hd version.Most of the time the 2 channels carry the same program. Channel 11 only shows the sd channel and when I called they said they didn't carry the hd channel.

    HD Upgrade To Eliminate OTA

    If you already have the ota run to the area the receiver is going to be in I would use it also. I know I'm not the only one that feels the ota hd picture is better than the sat one.Another plus is that the ota gets several different hd programs per given channel,for example 7-1,7-2,7-3.Whereas...

    Hd Add-On Antena Question

    You don't need the hd package to get the locals hd,if you get your locals through directv you should also get the hd versions.That said,I agree with the others,the hd locals look better with an ota antenna if you can pick them up that way opposed to the sat hd locals.

    SPDIF optical cable from HR20 ????

    you have 2 digital inputs that can be used with any of the selections on your receiver.You need to assign them so that when you select your dvd or sat on you receiver it gets its audio from one of the digital inputs.If you are aready hooked up with an optical for your dvd player your optical...

    HR20 Second tuner ?

    you don't,the second tuner is there so 1) you can record one channel while watching another or 2)record 2 channels while you are watching a recorded program it's smart enough to do that by itself you will need 2 feeds from your dish for that to work

    SPDIF optical cable from HR20 ????

    you can find your manual here http://www.usersmanualguide.com/yamaha_audio/av_receivers/htr-5630 page 23 has a note that both digital inputs accept a 96kz sampling rate but above 48kz you will lose your dsp and it revert to 2 channel audio page 41 tells you how to assign the 2 digital inputs .

    Just tired of all the complaining.

    No disrespect intended but do you really think the mustang would have improved if nobody complained for improvements or upgrades.Look how many years the mustang was a lame shell of car.If it were not for the complaining and constant pushing for a better product you would still be watching a 19...

    SPDIF optical cable from HR20 ????

    I would go the new receiver route myself but it's always easier spending someone else's money.But with only one optical input it sounds like you are due to update the receiver.On the hdmi issue there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies with equipment compatibilities and the ability to...

    SPDIF optical cable from HR20 ????

    your receiver may have a coax type dd input also.If you can assign them to particular inputs you my be able to hook 1 up with the optical cable and the other with the coax cable.Otherwise I'd be looking for a new receiver myself.

    can roof support new 5 LNB?

    Dude you need to take a prozac and chill. 1) I never claimed it to be anything and certainly not the worlds best roof mount. I merely tried to answer the posters question if a dish could be mounted to the roof and give him an understanding of how I did it to help him out. Which is the purpose...

    ka sat signal strength

    yes the b-band converter is installed.On a whim I did a force update tonight.The signal strengths still show zero on the h20 for sats 99 and 103 but now I can tune in the hd channels which I could not do before on the h20.I don't know,guess its a reporting glitch.the channels tune in on both...

    hdmi vs component resolutions

    It's an rca scenium HDLP50W151YX3.It was one of the first sets rca put out when they switched to dlp technology,got it around August 2004.Here's a scan right out of the manual.It kind of surprised me that it would take a 1080i signal and not a 720p,but it kind of backs up what I've always...

    can roof support new 5 LNB?

    mine is on the roof.I put it up 2 weeks ago in place of my really old 18 in single lnb. I used a 12"x12" 1/4" thick aluminum plate under the dish mount to distribute pressure over the shingles better to keep the dish mount from crushing through them when tightened down and put roof/flashing...

    hdmi vs component resolutions

    Well, as I hooked it up with the component cables and made my way through the dvr setup for the first time I ran into a snag at the resloution selections. I could not enable 720p.Turns out my rca 50" scenium hdlp won't take 720p on the component input per the tv manual but it will take...

    hdmi vs component resolutions

    Thanks for input everyone.I am well aware of the price differential in the cables and have a source for pricing that would make either choice viable if the hdmi was significiant enough in advantage in video quality to go that way.From the response's I've seen and from what I've read that does...

    hdmi vs component resolutions

    With all the hdmi issues I've been reading about I've got a resolution question.Will a component video cable set carry all the resolutions an hdmi cable will?I know hdmi is a digital signal and component is an analog signal I'm just not sure if the component will handle all the resolutions the...

    H20 going bonkers!!!!

    I agree,The -600 I had was made in Korea which I thought was LG made.I actually made sure I got a Korean made one when I bought it as I've had LG phones before and thought they were great.Who would have thought the made in Mexico one would be better.When I bought my HR20 I made sure it was a...
