The 280 software update has been over the last several weeks. I think the update before that was 269. Again though, if you are getting picture over the component outputs then it very well may have nothing to do with HDCP.

Seedoo My point was to eliminate HDCP as the culprit, as they consider the component and DVI outputs to be "digital" and force the copy protection scheme on both outputs. I might be wrong on this bit I have seen posts that indicate it to be true. So if you got picture on the component...

I know you said that you need component for your DVD player, but have you tried connecting the 811 via component just to see if the problem is with the DVI connection or with the HD output set to 1080i on the 811. I don't think E* used HDCP previously but other Sat providers have turned it...

I am surprised it is doing that on the RCA. My impression of the 811 remote was that it would emulate other remotes if you got the right code, but that you could not program macros into it (which on my system would be turn on TV and switch input to DVI or Component 1 or whatever.) I use a...

BGHoff I have tried this and it does lessen the distortion but it is still there if the 811 is set to output either 1080i or 720p. I guess once TNT stretches it, it is difficult to undo totally. I don't think this 4:3 material is HD anyways. It certainly looks much softer than the other HD...

How nice of them to stretch the 4:3 images and not give me a choice..... Most TV's and the 811 offer all kinds of stretch modes for folks who feel they are paying by the square inch and don't care if Lenny from Law and Order looks like someone sat on his head. Thanks for the insight, that...

All I am pretty new to Dish and have an 811 connected to a Samsung HLP4663W with the HD package.. I have the 811 HD configured for 720P output (native resolution for the Samsung). This seems to work well for all the HD signals except for TNTHD. The aspect ratio often does not seem right...

I am very new to "da dish". I have two 811s and am seeing the blank screen on Sat channels more on the upstairs unit. I think I have only been seeing the blank screen problem since I had OTA installed on Sat. Prior to that I would have to go through the downloading program guide everytime I...

Once again, thanks. I have been watching AVS but the topics don't always pop up where you would expect them to be. Tim

All Thanks for all the suggestions. Chastulsa, I'll give the S-video a try on the SD. cpdretired, thanks for the Service Menu codes. I watched the Dealer service guy fix the geometry last week, he could have used your notes. It took him 5 tries to get in there. He was probably fixing a...

As for being surprised, the difference between the two sets with a DVD feed are not that different. I expected the black levels to be better on the CRT but I had expected the DLP to put up a better showing. With the SAT feed it definitely widened the gap. I found that with the SAT feed...

All Thanks for the head's up on the calibation patterns. Who the hell can see at 5:00 AM??? Everything for me is soft focus at that point in the day ;-). I will definitely check it out. Thanks again to all. Tim

Hi New to Dish Network, new to 811 new to Samsung and new to the forum. I just had Dish installed with an 811 going to a Samsung DLP hlp4663 set via DVI. One thing I noticed right off the bat was that the Comcast analog PQ directly into the Samsung (no cable box) was sharper than the Dish...

Hey New to Dish Network. I have been looking for calibration patterns. Where are the HDNET patterns at?? Thanks TWC
