    H20 receiver and AT-9 relocation abroad

    Cforrest: First of all, thanks for that... pair of lovely baby soothers... and, "reply". As of now, I only got a relocation date, but no exact location. The business contract has something to do with the Panama Canal Authority. I guess I would know in time. It seems once again, there...

    H20 receiver and AT-9 relocation abroad

    By March 2007, I will be job relocating to Panama City, Panama. Does anyone know if it will be possible to relocate the "high definition" equipment, keep my subscription active at my local U.S. home (where the wife will stay... :devil: ) and somehow, while in Panama, "aim the dish" to lock...

    upconvert dvd players

    How much is this Avel LP2? Is it a high-end player? I googled it, but did not find much info. Now, I am also worried about "macroblocking" ... :( It probably all boils down to a "trial and error" issue, and how it looks with your own eyes... This reminds me of the OTA antenna...

    upconvert dvd players

    My older model Pioneer Elite Plasma upscales my DVD's through component to 525i or 525p. My H-20 "native" signal goes through one HDMI connector and it is upscaled to 525i, 525p, 750p, and 1125i depending on the channels. I am still eagerly waiting for the Oppo to see how it performs...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    As stated by "Grizzly One" at the AVS forum: ***************************************************************** "Just plugging plugs into the jacks with no terminations on the other end, should not change anything, (such as resistance, impedance etc.) on standard jacks. I took the cover off...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    Same here, H-20 goes to TV with HDMI, and optical for the receiver. I have been using optical since I felt in love with DTS... Never thought this could happen, since I always thought "optical" meant perfection! until now. I hope more people test this, and actually complain to DirecTV...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    Well... I did not call D*, but send them a message to "Please forward to TECH SUPPORT for H-20", and sent them a link to this thread. It still doesn't make sense, but it has to be addressed. Maybe it could be fixed on the next firmware upgrade? Let's see what the reply would be. I...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    Disregard that "kentuck1163", I tried to get technical with that... I wanted to call "stereo" DD 2.0 and "mono" DD 1.0 ..... :rolleyes: My receiver picks up the signal either way in "STEREO" (dangling wire plugged or unplugged; now permanently plugged!) Another observation, I see...

    Whew! :up Thanks guys for trying it out! :music: I don't feel :what anymore! For now, only at this forum we would be the ONES with the H-20 and the "dangling insulated" L+R wire! Just thinking of calling D* as a consumer they would probably only say "Thanks"! and maybe at best a...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    I know the feeling arXaw... :) That's why I am keeping the "loose end" disconnected. There is no way, I am moving the receiver, but it WORKS! It is set to DD. I am glad you are also using both, the optical connector and the analog L+R configuration for the sake of it. Thanks!

    Looking for a Good Technician in the Northern VA area

    Nope... I only know "Rusty" the DirecTV tech who installed my AT-9 and H-20 two weeks ago. He did give me his cel number in case I had problems. He has an out of state cel number, but said DirecTV was paying his stay at a local hotel while he did ONLY AT-9 and H-20 installations in...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    Dolby Digital, since I do get the HD channels in full DD 5.1 (when available...) Try it out! It still doesn't make sense to me, but it is happening with my H-20. I would like to find out if somebody else test this, specially with the XM music channels where you will hear the difference...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    YES! kentuck1163 :D RCA L+R cable is connected to both L+R outs on the H-20. The loose end is not connected to the receiver... (definitely odd...) but just resting behind the H-20. Just to still be baffled by this situation... I now unplug one (L) channel from the H-20, and (the XM...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    H-20 optical = MONO on non-HD and XM music channels... Thanx! ArXaw: Did you try unplugging the analog L+R wire from the H-20 though? Just to find out if your optical signal becomes "mono"? A better test can be done on the XM music channels (all in DD 2.0) The H-20 optical still gave...

    H-20 DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels?

    H-20 OPTICAL output in MONO for "ALL" non-HD channels? I've just found out something very strange... about my H-20 D* receiver... I have it connected to my Pioneer receiver through the optical connector, and I am definitely a conscious audioholic. NOW... the WEIRDEST thing! (And I hope...

    WHY...should I upgrade to the H-20 and AT-9 RIGHT NOW?

    IN.... :D Now... do you think it would be a good idea to buy the DB2 antenna and have the installer take care of it? Or should I request the "PIZZA" OTA antenna from D*? My 3 LNB dish is actually installed on a pole inside a large plastic bucket full of cement. :o Works great...
