I don not know what price point you are looking at but the Tosh 50H81 has dropped to 1999.99 at Best Buy and the warranty is 300.00. I own the set and am extremely happy with it (when it was 2500.00). I bought the waranty for piece of mind. I think the 42H81 is the exact same set smaller...
Ed, I prefer to watch the locals through my high def converter and OTA. However I subscribe for locals because the antennae I use does not get all locals now (since Direct started offering them all) and also there are usually screen formatting problems using just OTA. However, OTA is much...
Wes, I was hoping someone would answer this, but to no avail. I will be trying it tomorrow. I have a Tosh 50H81 hooked to a DST-3000 and would like to see what the box does through an s-video as opposed to the doubler in the box. I'll get back to you, if not PM me.
I have been using the DST-3000 hooked up to a 50H81 for a few months now and am very happy with it. I understand that the Samsung appears to have a stonger tuner than the Tosh for OTA (of course no sat available) but other than the weaker tuner that sent me up messing with the antennae quite...
I believe Ian is probably right. I only use DirecTv Tivo units and know that the single subscription is good for all three of them (mirror charges apply). But I do not believe your lifetime sub can cross platforms ie. standalone and sattellite subscription. So you would incur charges to start...
From my understanding, as long as the unit with the lifetime sub is activated, the other one will also receive tivo services at no extra charge. I know this is true the directivo's. I am doing it.
I had the same problem with a 61H70 (lesser model, bigger brother) and spent about an hour doing the convergence in service mode of course before I got it looking good. A great site is Keohi.com. This would no be a mirror problem to my knowledge. Make sure you adjust the green gun first, then...
I have no tecnical answer to this, but I will tell you what I ran in to when switching multiswitches. When the cables were reversed, I still got channels but not all of them. After asking this forum and others, I found that I was only receiving half of the transponders. After switching them...
I am using a Tosh DST-3000 on a Tosh 50H81 in florida with directv and OTA and am very happy. I ran in to the same problem with first hd set (Tosh 61H70) hooking up to regular cable. The picture was horrible. I called the cable company to move me up on distribution and bought a line cleaner...
Make sure you are in full mute mode (not half mute) then while holding mute, hit menu (on set), then "s" appears, hit menu on remote and you are there. This is what I have to do on the 50H81. The half mute thing really threw people off. email me personally if you have problems.
Thanks for the help guys. It appears that this multiswitch input wiring was different from the other one. Hence, me wiring it incorrectly. I got it figured out and working now. I just need to figure out how to activate the second tuner in my satt60 now. Again, sincere thanks for the replies.
Hey guys. I just changed my multiswitch from a 4X2 to a 4X4 to accomodate adding a Tivo. My problem is now I get perfect readings on some transponders and 0 on others. I need to know in ya'lls experience, is this a bad switch or was I clumsy and knocked the dish out of alignment. It is a high...
