I recently upgraded to the Directv HR21 DVR. My HDTV is a 9 year old Mitsubishi Diamond Series WS-73905, 73 inch rear projection TV. The problem is that the output of the the new dvr is either hdmi, component (YPrPb), or S-video. My HDTV does not have hdmi so can't use it. The component input on my HDTV is YPrPbHV. That means the HV sync signal inputs on the TV are not used when using the 3 cable component from the the DVR. Granted, the HV input on the new 3 component cables is carried on the Y component cable. However my HDTV receiver expects the HV sync signal to come in to the separate HV inputs, and does not recognize it on the Y cable. My previous HD receiver (RCA) outputted to all five component cables on the HDTV. So what is the solution here to make my Directv receiver compatible with my Mitsubishi TV? Hopefully there is someone out there who understands what I am saying, and what my problem is. For the time being, I am using the s-video output on the dvr and the s-video input on the HDTV as a stop-gap measure. That of course makes my resolution only SD 480i, thus defeating the whole purpose of having an HDTV. My previous RCA receiver had connectivity with the HDTV, but because all of the new Directv HD signals are on a new satellite, it was necessary to get the new Directv receiver. HELP!! Thanks. Dave.
