Anyone else experiencing audio drop outs and lip sync problems with Directv? I just switched from Dish Network to Directv and am having these problems. It doesn't matter if it is coax or optical digital output on my new Samsung SIR-TS160 HD receiver. I notice the lip sync problem also on my...
Has anyone used the Philips as a line doubler for external sources? Could you run your satelite through the S-video and have it come out the progressive output in good quality? I have the Toshiba 56x81 RPTV and it has a poor line doubler so DISH programming especially NFL football doesn't...
I have the HK AVR65 receiver purchased in 1999 and after only 3 months it burned out the left front speaker output. Now 3 years later the right front speaker output went out. Repairs get costly and this shouldn't happen. Am I doing something wrong or is this a lemon? I use 12 ga. wire.
Anyone know what might be wrong with my AVR65 receiver? It started whenever the power would go out it wouldn't remember all my settings and it would say "bypass". Then I would have to reset everything in all modes. Now it forgets my settings almost daily. What has gone bad and what is...
I am new to the game console discussion and am leaning toward buying an Xbox. How do the two compare technically? Do they both support 480p games and future 1080i games? Both have DD 5.1 sound? I know xbox claims to have the first hard drive. Of course PS2 is a proven sytem with a huge...
I understand CBS broadcast these last year in HDTV. If they do it this year I may have to have a big get together now that I have HD capability. Will they have any playoff games?

Where can I find this schedule of future HDPPV movies? I know they don't change them often. Have they shown good ones in the past?

I watched my first HD PPV Movie (Return to Me) but had Dolby Digital audio dropouts every couple minutes throughout the whole movie! I even missed dialog because of it. Is this common??? If that is how it is going to be I would just as soon send the whole system back and go back to plain old...
Finally got both dishes up and tuned in just before we got a foot of snow last night. Called DISH and was watching HDTV a few minutes later! It even looks better than in the store (converged my RPTV and have it set up right). I can't get OTA HD channels so have to settle for what comes over...
I am considering the DISH 6000. I haven't heard much talk about how the picture looks!
Please tell me... how do 480i DISH channels look when upconverted to 1080i on a HD RPTV? I am very interested as I have never been happy with DSS channels on my 56X81 RPTV in 480p. Too many artifacts...
Do I need another STB besides the DISH 6000 to view HDTV on my Toshiba 56x81 RPTV?
This language from DISH's Showtime HD page makes me wonder...
