Does anyone have a Samsung 56" DLP, model hlr5668w? If so, are you getting a good picture with your Dish 625 hooked up? Mine sucks (at least ESPN and ESPN2 - anything with sports motion).
Is there any issues with the 625 because it is a DVR where the picture quality will suffer when hooking it up to a big screen TV? Perhaps I have too much recorded (I still have 38 hrs of recording time free, so it isn't close to being full) and it is automatically reducing the quality of the picture to save space on the hard drive???
The TV looks great when receiving HD or when using the DVD player, so I don't think it is an issue with the TV itself.
Please help! My plan is to hook up my 301 basic receiver to the Samsung once my basement is complete, but right now it is hooked up to the 625 (I'm hoping it is just some simple thing to adjust on the 625 or the 301 will just perform better).
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Forgot to mention, I'm getting HD channels through my local cable service, Dish isn't in the current plan for HD at this moment in time, will cross that bridge later this year. We don't get Local channels via Dish, so getting my internet + local channels through cable (and now my new TV gets the HD channels via the cable connection, which is a nice bonus).
