    A follow up on bypassing the Loewe HDTV internal progressive scan doubler

    Any suggestions for an hdtv stb for the Loewe? I would like to buy one but I am scared off by all the problems I've read about them. I know it has to be one with a VGA connection.

    A follow up on bypassing the Loewe HDTV internal progressive scan doubler

    Darrel, I was told by the dealer who sold me my Loewe Calida that you don't need a progressive scan player since the t.v.'s line doubler does it as good or better. I was also told that Loewe recommends the s-video connection as opposed to the component video connection. Also, don't you need...

    My Sony DVSP-360 just died. Help me choose a new player

    I need to try the same thing on my Sony 560D. It often had the C:13 error but now it says NO DISC. Will this work for this too? How do you know if a dvd is single layer or not?

    Sony DVD Player on the BLINK? HELP!!!!

    I have had a Sony S560D dvd player for the past 2 years and it has always worked fine for me. All of a sudden it is saying that it is flashin NO DISC as I try to play a dvd. Any suggestions on what to do? I can't believe I have to buy a new player after only 2 years.

    How to get a 480p on a Loewe set from a DVD player?

    Darrel, Hoew did it work out with the Loewe transcoder box? I would like to buy a progressive scan dvd player for my Loewe t.v. but I am not sure it is worth it. Let me know if you were able to hook it up and if it looks that much better than a non-progressive player. Rubén

    How to get a 480p on a Loewe set from a DVD player?

    Doug, I also have a Loewe Calida 32" t.v. and I was wondering how it all worked out for you. I can't believe that we would have to purchase a transcoder box for $300 to hook up a progressive scan dvd player! My dvd player is not progressive and it looks great. By the way, have you had your...

    Is professional video callibration necessary?

    I have owned a Loewe Calida 32" tv for a year. The picture is beautiful although I've never had it callibrated, either professionally or with a disc. Does callibration make the picture significantly better? Does anyone have any experience with Loewe t.v.'s?

    Is there Dolby 5.1 on T.V. ?

    I watched Six Feet Under last night on HBO with satellite. It seemed like it was surround sound but I am not 100% sure. It sounded pretty good though. I have a directv receiver but I don't think it offers dolby surround sound. I wasn't aware that there were different types of directv receivers.

    Is there Dolby 5.1 on T.V. ?

    I just got my surround sound hooked up and dvd's sound great. I was wondering if there are surround sound broadcasts on movies and shows on T.V. I am mostly referring to premium channels like HBO, etc. If there are, are there any extra wires to hook up and does it matter what type of wires are used?

    Still can't get certain channels and frustrated with Direct TV

    Now I am more confused than ever. I don't know if I should be messing with the dish if that is not the problem and i could make it worse. One thing, though, this only happens sometimes, not all the time. And it's only certain channels that are affected.

    Still can't get certain channels and frustrated with Direct TV

    Where does it tell you on the dish what direction and elevation it is pointing to? Also, do I need to touch the elevation at all when it is telling me to move the dish 3 degrees?

    Still can't get certain channels and frustrated with Direct TV

    Scott, I checked the transponders and I noticed that all the even ones have no signal strength. It says to move the dish 3 degrees. I didn't install the satellite so I have no idea how to move the dish 3 degrees. Rubén

    how do i move my dish 3 degrees?????

    Once in a while (like right now) I am unable to get certain channels. The message is searching for signal. When I checked the signal strength the even transponders are not showing any signal strengths while the odd ones are. I am getting the message to move the dish 3 degrees. I didn't...

    Still can't get certain channels and frustrated with Direct TV

    Scott, Here are the answers to your question based on my memory since I am not at home at the moment. 1. I think that I am getting a strong signal strength on each transponder but I'll check again. 2. I have unplugged it for 5 minutes 3. I have 2 receivers and I assume that it is a dual...

    Still can't get certain channels and frustrated with Direct TV

    Direct TV is driving me crazy! I spend so much money for the service and, once in a while, I am still not getting certain channels that I pay for. Someone on this forum suggested I change the cable to RG6 quad shielded and I did that and it made no difference. I reset the receivers and it...
