OK, Either found first bug with my new 921 or I am missing something.
With my Voom receiver. I can put receiver into auto resolution mode. 480-1080. so it will output what it is. My Sony then upconverts. What I do to not have annoying fish bowl effect picture is that I put all three output choices to Tv. Rca jacks (run thru Onkyo reciever), Components, (actually component is run thru Onkyo receivers auto switching) and DVI (straight to sony) And I label inputs on my SOny as Rca-Component-DVI. When watching SD channels I leave tv mode in RCA it accepts the 480 signal and gives full standard picture. When changing to a HD channel I either toggle TV input to Component or DVI inputs. Both work fine and give me either 780 or 1080 depending as Voom sends out native signal to SOny. THis works great and does not piss the wife off with having to wathch fish eye or or small box picture with 480 going to HD tv inputs.
Well with the new 921 It appears I can not do this. Why I say it may be a bug is when I initially activated new reciever I installed it exactly how I did voom above. I immediatly had full picture and reciever said it was ina astretch mode. I was able to toggle thru all tvs inputs with a picture. But HD did not look like HD. So I went into setup reciever screen to Output settings. I saw that 921 default is 480I. So I changed to 1080i, WHAMMO I lost picture completly on both rca and component tv inputs. I did have picture on DVI input. THen I changed to 780 , Same thing. Then I tried 480 and BAM I lost picture on my DVI but gained it on my RCA input. All the time I could not get a picture back on any setting with my COmpnent tv input.
Is this a known problem? could it be a bug or bad reciever?
Can this reciever not just output native like Lowly Voom receiver??
Please help
Thank you

It's a known limitation. You can have either the SD outputs (composite, S-Video, RF coax) or the HD outputs (component, DVI) active at any time, not both. The one exception is "safe mode" where all are active but the HD outputs are putting out SD 480i.
I assume you're aware of the "OUTPUT" button on the remote and on the front panel? It will toggle between the SD outputs and the HD outputs. Hold the button down for a few seconds and you'll enter "safe mode". Press it again to leave that mode, or as I like to call it, enter "unsafe mode"
(from my old days of working with Windows)

Well yeah, but note your HD outputs will not actually be putting out HD video, just 480i SD video. At least that's how it's documented...iceshark said:
I seem to remember reading that, so you're probably right on that one. I admit I don't yet have an HD capable TV, so I can't verify...
That's a good question. My guess is the limitation lies more in the hardware but I hope to be wrong.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....
