I have a Sharp 42" 1080p TV that I bought used for the 1/4 of new price. Directv receiver is a HR-24.
Great TV. However the issue is not the TV.
My Hitachi 1080p set (that I returned today for several bad pixels), was able to display a 1080p VOD fine, and when I checked the 1080p box in the menu of the D* box, it would work.
Not the case with this TV.
Directv however is not wanting to take any blame and pointing at the TV.
I have a samsung blu ray player, connected to another HDMI input, when I watch a blu ray, the TV pops up with a box in the corner that says INPUT 5-1080p.
So this TV is a 1080p set (which the maker said), and can display 1080p content fine.
I also switched around the HDMI cables, did not make any diff.
So the problem is that this HR24 is not wanting to handshake correctly with a 1080p signal.
What could be causing this?
