Question from a new member........Have a 311 receiver we use in our RV. Used to have hooked up to a analog TV with a great picture. Recently bought a Sanyo DP26648 HD TV for use with both our rooftop air antenna and satellite. On rooftop air antenna we get a great HD picture. I know we can't get a HD signal with the 311 receiver, but get a lousy, grainy, ghosted picture on all channels when operating off satellite. Signal comes into RV from Dish 500 via RG-6 cable and is routed through a winegard distribution box. Air antenna is connected to digital jack on TV and 311 receiver is hooked directly to TV via s-video cable. Have double checked everything and am beginning to wonder if this new TV being HD doesn't like a straight digital signal. Any ideas? Thanks!

an analog signal from a 311 going to aarge format HD TV is never going to look that great.
the only thing you can do is try messing with the TV's format options to see if you can put it to a settings that looks a little better when you are running the Dish box.
Point to consider....check to see what an analog OTA signal looks like using the analog tuner in the tv. I have seen a big difference in the new flatscreen sets when a SD service is displayed. Sony products seem to produce better results on SD. Shop the big box stores and ask the clerk to show you a SD channel on their display models. Most all brands do well on HD, especially, un-compressed OTA.
Ghosting is something that can't happen with satellite content delivered via a line level connection.
What you're seeing is likely the result of a HDTV that doesn't handle SD content well coupled with SD content that isn't all that great. A yucky SD picture is a common complaint with HDTVs that aren't set up to process SD content.
