GEOSATpro HDVR3500 Output Display Help
Back in July I purchased 2 HDVR3500 receivers and from the git go I could not find a setting that would fill out the screen on my TV. I contacted Eugene at GeoSat and mentioned the problem to him and he gave me a recommendation to try, which by the way, didn't work. I've tried to contact him 3 times since, both by phone, and by email, and have never received a return answer.
I explained that the HDVR1200's had a setting of 4.3PS in the aspect settings that worked great will all my TV's. The HDVR3500 does not have this setting. Without it, I get channels that have black spaces at the left & right edge about 6 inches in width, or it will have a Black space on all four sides of the picture. I've never been able to find a happy medium where all the pictures fill out the screen. I was hoping they would add the 4.3PS setting to the 3500 updates, but so far, I don't think it's happened.
The older TV was a 55 inch LG I bought 2 years ago. Just to see if there would be any difference, I purchased a 60 inch Sony and encountered the same problem. That makes three big screen TV's with the same problem. The 1200 does just fine. Any suggestions?

Get a V8 Super?
Sorry I could not resist. We don't have a 3500 here so no way to give you an honest answer to your 3500 question and it appears even the one bringing it out does not have the answer to correct the problem for your setup.
The setting I am speaking of is 4.3PS. It has a standard 4.3 setting, but not the 4.3PS. If memory serves me, the PS stands for "Progressive Scan." When I hooked up the old HDVR 1200, I took it off 4.3PS and set it to 4.3. The pictures immediately shrank. The "Stretch" feature makes the picture bigger but it blows the picture up until part of the head is out of range at the top. With the PS setting, the picture fill out the screen on all the channels and the channel banner fits nicely between the left and right side of the screen.
I've hooked the HDVR 3500 on three different TV's and it's the same on all of them. It's something I've never ran into before. The Freesat V7 works properly like the HDVR 1200. I received an email from a brother in Tennessee and he ordered a 3500 after I did, and he has the same problem. I like the 3500's because it has nice features and it's easy to program and transfer data. My wife's on me all the time about being such a perfectionist. Things that don't bother her, drives me crazy. I once worked 14 hours straight fixing a quirk in Windows XP.

I was hoping Geosat could add the 4.3PS setting to one of their firmware updates. I can't imagine it being all that difficult, but maybe there's something there I'm not aware of. I'd also be curious how many others are experiencing the same issues. BTW, I am considering the V8 Super.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
