    Couple Of Questions

    The 942 reciever comes with both an HDMI to DVI Cable and also a 6" DVI to HDMI cable/adapter. This allows any purchaser to mate up with the output of the receiver to either his DVI or HDMI on the rear of their TV. The other receiver you posted, the 921 comes only with a DVI cable and sound...

    Couple Of Questions

    You tested it with an HDMI out of a STB via a HDMI to DVI cable in turn plugged into a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable in turn plugged into a TV? :confused:

    Couple Of Questions

    You are being abtuse, I assume. Nobody has suggested audio is available by DVI. The setup described is HDMI => DVI => DVI => HDMI I earlier posted: "I do not know if this is correct, but in another threads we we discussing this very issue and in response to my speculating as to how this...

    HDMI connection

    Spoken like a man in need of justifying the $120 he paid for a 4" cable. :)

    Couple Of Questions

    The discussion is about HDMI to DVI To HDMI capabilities. Dish is only an example and serves to document a capability - nothing do do with Dish per se. I notice that you were OK with this when earlier in this thread you incorrectly said, "DVI carries no audio. PERIOD." Now when confronted...

    She is smarter than I. :) From the User Manual for The 942, Page 114: "Connecting To The Nearby TV (TV1)" "HDTV Digital/Audio/Video Connections" "The HDTV Digital/Audio connection provides high-quality audio and video to your HDTV or HD Monitor in one cable." "1 Connect an HDTV Digital...

    Couple Of Questions

    Jimbo, I did the setup. There is only the cabling I described going from the 942 to the TV. Before you post sarcasm you should go read the posts at the links I posted and you'll see that numerous people are saying that this is so. You do a disservice to those of us trying to learn by...

    Couple Of Questions

    I never asked for advice. I stated the fact that my wife's cable setup carried the stereo sound from her STB to her TV. I also posted two links where this very subject was discussed, to include multiple posts by folks documenting that fact. If you can't accept that - well that's your loss...

    Couple Of Questions

    If you have 4205 Posts here you must be right. I said "interestingly" and only posted from that perspective. I've coming to this D* Forum to learn so that I can make an informed decision this year as to whether to upgrade to D* MPEG4 or E* MPEG4. I also posted, " As I have said, my wife...

    Couple Of Questions

    Because those two cables come free with the Receiver. Allows the customer to Go from the Receiver's HDMI Out to a TV or Receiver's DVI In or to an HDMI In.

    Couple Of Questions

    Maybe the audio is added present at the DVI end of the cable but no protocol exists to allow it to be used by the DVI user? Or maybe E* manufactures their cables so that is is possible? In any event, I'm sick and tired of people posting here that what is a fact is impossible.... simply because...

    Couple Of Questions

    Jimbo, I listed the specific hardware in the next post. I can absolutely assure you that the stereo sound is in fact coming thru that combination. I have no idea if other cable brands (other than the one E* provided with my wife's E* 942 receiver. :)

    Couple Of Questions

    Nope. Only HDMI to DVI to HDMI - using the TV's speakers. The STB is an Echostar 942 HD DVR and the TV is a 37" Panasonic Plasma. The cable and adapter came with the STB. As I said, "interestingly" the sound comes through the digital cable.

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    You need to find a hobby. :rolleyes: (Other than following me around and posting snippits out of context.:) ) I suspect that I'm in a reasonable position to opine what my wife and I would find appealing in a future TV image. Certainly a person that has presumably never met us and seems to...

    To Switch to E*, or not.

    E* tried to buy D* a couole of years ago. It's not that investors don't want to buy D* but some "Industry Watchers" have speculated that E* may in a position to look for a buyer.

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    Like yourself, I hang on to TV's and cars "forever." My newest set (53" Sony XBR) was made in 1992. My wife recently replaced our MBR set with a Plasma. That old set had a great picture right up until it died. That set was a 1985 Sony DXR from the first year that Sony introduced the...

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    I never said that. :rolleyes: I don't believe that half of the nation will still be "with SD sets not HD sets" ten years from now. I believe that many households will still have and be using SD sets in ten years, but as the amount of Network and other programming shifts to SD, I believe...

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    Shucks, you’re just being obtuse. So in ten years you envision millions of Sat subscribers looking at their 10-15 year old boxes on their 10-25 year old sets watching 16:9 images fitted to their 4:3 Screens? :rolleyes: Not everyone needed to run out and buy a color set in the 60's... but...

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    Go back and re-read. I said "Providing the HD locals in MPEG4 is a perfect example. " HD By bringing the HD Sat locals on-line as MPEG4 that will provide incentive to some subscribers to upgrade, and the continued availabilty of SD sat locals in MPEG2 will not make that vast number of...

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    While you are likely correct, your logic and sarcasm are without proper foundation So called MPEG4 boxes are actually MPEG4 and MPEG2 boxes and will allow a user to continue to receive all of the existing MPEG2 channels. This will permit a gradual phasing in of MPEG4 programming. Likely this...

    Nonsense, get far enough away from the screen (:rolleyes: ) or own a panel that is not capable of displaying any better than it was with the lower resolution. :)

    MPEG 2 to MPEG 4 What If

    At this time this is precisely the path that E* is taking. The first "new" HD Channels under the approach are the Sat HD Locals.
