I am looking to replace my Pansat 3500S. I need a real HD receiver to go with my home theatre. Real HD is 1080P resolution. Not 1080I. The first television ever made used I. Interlaced scanning scans odd and even lines of resolution and flashes them on the screen according to its refresh rate. Progressive scanning scan all lines simultaneously and flashes them on the screen according to its refresh rate. Thus progressive scanning produces a noticeably sharper and clearer picture. Also an HDMI cable is required to carry the picture and 7.1 HD audio and satisfy the HDCP requirement for future recording and playback. It requires DVB S2 with an 8psk tuner. It there a receiver out there that will do this? If not, everyone must wait because it is a shame to hook up inferior inputs to a true 1080P home theatre system. AFAIK the global broadcasting format is going to be DVB S2.

the cup is half . . .
The way your post is worded, the requirements even exceed my shopping list for a good HD FTA receiver.
And since nothing meets my specs, for darned sure nothing meets yours.
However, if you mean:
- digital or optical sound output, carrying whatever is being broadcast...
- upconverted video to 1080i/p format...
Then I think you might be happy.
Some few feeds may use Dolby E, and I don't know what could decode that.
Otherwise, your hi-fi system should be able to manage the sound found on other feeds 'n broadcasts.
Since nothing is currently broadcast (to my knowledge) in 1080p, you'd have to settle for 1080i, 720p, and 480p being upconverted for you by the receiver.
I suspect some of them will .
I have an RCA 5-disc DivX upconverting DVD player, and it manages some incredible pictures.
Right now, there is one HD receiver that blind scans at all (I think), but not in S2 mode, and I wouldn't take it for free.
Of the other HD receivers which will record video to a hard drive, there might be one that's stable.
Things do change with firmware releases, but I've not been impressed with the current products.
The receivers which also receive HD ATSC over-the-air broadcasts, do not use the available guide info!
The other side of the coin is that a lot of people are happy with what little the receivers offer.
They see the cup as half full, not half empty.
Those folks are buying hardware and watching signals you and I cannot.
So, are they wrong? They don't think so.

I can't wait to get a Coolsat 8100. Looks like I'll have to wait though because they are out of stock at the major dealers.I love my Coolsat 8000. Very clean picture through the HDMI cable

Well put!
You might want to hold on your hat, since there's a prototype super hi definition at 4320p 60 or 50 FPs!!

This may shift employment patterns in Hollywood. What actress beyond the age of 20 is going to want to show off the tiniest details of her face in your living room? Talk about reality tv...

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
