Hi, I didn't see anything in the TV's settings to change the screen res. I have the HDMI cable from Sony's store. Should I swap it with another cable I have? What does the 24 mean? Thanks.

I did a tech chat tonight. They took my receiver and projector information. The tech stated that the engineers wanted specifics, manufacture and model #. I was told the report was sent and it would be fixed......
"soon"
"soon"
I too watched it last night and the pq was really awesome, probably the way HD should be! At first I got the screen to rent then it went to the error message that said I waited to long, I then did it again and it went thru with no problem, started watching immediately and the pq was really nice! I too have a ps3 and I'am Legend Blue Ray, I thought the pq was about the same!
I have the same sony it can do 1080P 24f but it is HDMI 1.2 not HDMI 1.3 I wonder if that is the problem since the HDMI out of the VIP622 and 722 are both HDMI 1.3
TomCrown1, I assume that you did not get the download yet to see if our sony xbr3's will play the 1080p movie?
On my Sony XBR2 the specifications page makes no mention of any rating for the HDMI inputs other than the 1080P 24 bits. How can I find out the HDMI type?
HDMI 1.3 spec were not around for the XBR2-5 XBR6-? will have the HDMI 1.3 spec.
I do not have the latest uprade yet.
1080p HD VOD Movies
Steps to follow if a customer calls because they cannot view HD VOD movies in 1080p.
Steps to follow if a customer calls because they cannot view HD VOD movies in 1080p.
- Confirm the customer has a ViP HD DVR and ask if their HD TV is 1080p capable
- Have the customer turn to Ch. 501 and see if they have "I am Legend" in 1080p
- If they have a ViP HD DVR and 1080p capable TV and do not have "I am Legend" in 1080p on Ch. 501 please refer to the schedule below as not all HD DVRs receivers have yet received the software downloaded to enable 1080p (please note this schedule is subject to change without notice). Also, please remember that in order to view the event in 1080p the customer's television will have to be capable of displaying 1080p at 24 frames per second.
- ViP722 - 1080p-VOD capable on all units with current software (L6.10 or later)
- ViP612 - 1080p-VOD capable on all units with current software (L6.00 or later)
- ViP622 - 100K units to become capable with L6.12 partial rollout on by August 13th, 12:00 AM
- ViP622 - All remaining ViP622 receivers, date TBD
Does this mean Dish expects everyone to buy a brand new expensive TV to utilize their 1080p offerings? If so, they're nuts.
Where can I find the info you quoted? I've only had this set since last year.
I just talked to Sony tech support. It seems that my XBR2 is HDMI 1.3, BUT only 60 FPS. I guess that ends the prospect of seeing a movie in 1080p from Dish. Are they nuts???
Hmm. L6.12 for the ViP622. Will the 622 and 722 start having different versions all the time, or will they sync up again?
I don't think the version of HDMI (1.2, 1.3, etc) has anything to do with it as all of them can pass 1080p with no problems. You would need ver 1.3 for lossless audio but I don't believe we are getting lossless audio with VOD.
All of these "expect me to buy a new TV" comments are getting rediculous. People, being able to view 1080p24 is just like watching Blu-Ray or HD DVD. If your TV cannot accept the best possible resolution (1080p24), you can still watch the movie you just need to set your player to a different resolution. And in this case, if your TV is not capapable of 1080p24 you get 1080i/720p depending how your 622/722 is set. So if you want 1080p24 then get a new TV. If you just want to watch the movie, go ahead and rent it and watch it in non-1080p24.
That being said, even if your display will accept 1080p24, there is bound to be HDMI handshake issues. There always seems to be handshake issues with some combinations of devices with HDMI. But eventually most of them get worked out.
