    Newbie Question. 811 input to Denon A/V Receiver

    Component switching has only been out about a year, on high end recievers $1k and more. You probably have composite switching, the worst. He could get much better signal by hooking up the DVI connection if his TV supoorted it. You will always get your best signal by going to your TV without...

    New Club Dish offer in mail today

    I will not be using these. My brother-in-law just moved to Chicago and got dish without consulting me. He did not even get a DVR, was never explained to him. For him and his goals I would have given him one. His dealer did a poor job explaining the choices. I gave two away when I joined 2...

    ESPN and Hockey last night

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    Thanks for the correction. That is my only gripe with Dish, It is really hard to find accurate information about pricing and model information. They release information on Charlie Chats and Tech Chats that you can't verify anywhere. I'm waiting to see how this all shakes out on Nov 1 before I...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    Greetings AGAIN from Baltimore!

    jcrash: That was my guess also. I think there is also channel mapping information. Here in the minneapolis some HD boxes seem to have problem correctly processing the PSIP. CBS is channel 32 digitally and it gets remapped to 4.1. The PSIP gets changed and some hardware will not see 4.1...
