    What do I need?

    Which of the 2 would be the better option? Will the C61k have a digital optical out? (My Onkyo rcvr does not have HDMI) Will I lose DVR space by using the new set-up? I have those DECA things in there too somewhere for whole home svc. So...am I thinking this correctly? My non-4k tv HR24-100...

    HDMI to Component switch

    Do you guys know if the newest XBOX 360 (not XBOX One) uses HDCP? I really only need the HDMI to component for the XBOX 360, for my other equipment I can use their component outputs to a 4-1 component switch (just can't get the HDMI on the XBOX 360 converted to Component to add to that switch)...

    HDMI to Component switch

    Hi all! I am having issues finding an HDMI switch that will take 3 or 4 HDMI and convert to Component Output (That is what my TV has, no HDMI) Is there such a converter? I am trying to connect an XBOX 360, DVD and a DirecTV HD-DVR to my TV that has only 1 set of Component inputs (Coaxial or...

    Recording from DVR to DVDR Problem

    My DVD-R will only record SD programs from my HDDVR. I don't think it can decipher the resolution when the program had been recorded in HD..(kind of along the lines of what the previous poster said about checking resolution) the HD content is not making it through the SVideo (which is not...

    DirecTV Remote is Awful

    Harmony 700 works awesome (had it for about 5 years), almost all of my components have been replaced during that time and all were really easy to change through Windows program, well worth the money. It works all of my components flawlessly. Really cool that you can add extra buttons to the LCD...

    D* Wireless Adapter

    My distance was too complicated too. I set up a wireless bridge with an old G speed linksys that I had laying around and it works great with HD. Plus I have my BluRay hooked to it also.

    Just got the new Sony BDP-S580 Player, and have it hooked up via component cables to my 1080i TV (I don't have HDMI connections). It only plays in 480i? I'm pretty sure I have all of the settings correct on the BD player. Shouldn't I at least be able to watch Blu-Rays in 1080i? Or did I miss...

    MRV Question

    I understand that multiple DVR's can be networked together to utilize MRV. But can you network an H20(non-DVR) and a HR20(DVR) to view the HR20's recorded content on the H20? I believe the answer is no... Thanks! Ace
