Thanks, but I get the same disappointing result when bypassing the AVR: 720p looks better than 1080i

I've had a Hopper with Sling for a few years, connected through an AVR to an LG OLED TV: Hopper outputs 720p -> AVR scales that to 1080p ->TV scales that to 4K I watch mostly broadcast content, occasionally VOD catch-up, never PPV, and I have plenty of non-Hopper Netflix options. I tried...

Two Dish reps were unhelpful today (Newsflash? Not!). I have an OTA tuner on my Hopper. I can get WBTS on Dish channel 10 and on OTA channel 60. The guide info for Ch 10 is good, and I replaced my old Ch 7 timers with Ch 10 ones. But the guide info for OTA Ch 60 is all multi-hour blocks that...

Thanks. That's a little more regulatory and a little less science/physics than I'd hoped, but it might do.

Didn't see anything on Wikipedia that fit my description. Did you?

Maybe not the best subforum, but I figured some technically inclined reader might be able to assist me. I'm looking for a good-sized (at least 3'W x 2'H) poster of the ELF to Gamma radiation spectrum that has enough detail to call out satellite communication bands. I'm thinking of an...

Did this ever happen?

From Logitech support: To move the Dual View window: With the Dual View window enabled, move the mouse cursor over the Dual View window. Click on any one of the four corner buttons. To resize the Dual View window: With the Dual View window enabled, move the mouse cursor over the Dual...

Thanks, Scott. So the Revue shouldn't have any hardware difficulty to pass through the frame-compatible signal, though it might need some software work to get the metadata from the STB to the TV. Seems promising, though I wonder where adding 3D support sits in Logitech's list of possible...

I've seen lots of discussion of 3D video formats. For example: Frame Packing 1080p/24 (via 3D Blu-ray) 720p/60 (video games) Frame Compatible (via STBs) 1080i/60 Side-by-Side 1080p/24 Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom 720p/60 Side-by-Side or Top-and-Bottom DirecTV is using some...

How?

Got no useful info from today's CSR. He confirmed that they can't project a shipping date, just acknowledge a date after the fact. He also confirmed that he has no way of knowing whether any Revue units have shipped to any customers. The Dish site still reports not-yet-shipped, with no...

I've spoken with 8 CSRs from the first order to the latest helpful guy who sadly had no info but sent a promised follow-up email. I've been disconnected 3 times; twice by CSRs who promised "I won't disconnect you". I've been told it would ship Friday, didn't ship Friday, would ship Saturday...

Classic Dish BS Around lunchtime Friday, I try to log on to the Dish store to order the Revue, but even after a few minutes, the webpage won't load. So I call the 800#, find a CSR who tells me "since you're such a great customer, I'm going to waive the shipping cost -- I'm even going to send it...

I have a D300 aimed at 61.5 and a D500 aimed at 110/119. I'm not willing to sacrifice the 61.5, as it has local Boston HD channels. If I want AMC HD, I think I need to see the 72.7 or 129. Not that AMC HD, alone, is worth changing out my hardware, but which dish would I replace? And with what?

So, when a Dish STB connected to your Denon receiver supports auto lip-sync, then the feature could have some value. Or, if your Denon is connected to a TV that supports it, the two can agree on how much audio delay is needed to match the TV's video delay. It takes two to tango, and auto...

I haven't encountered audio lag, but I've seen where the video sometimes lags the audio. Usually it's when things like deinterlacing and scaling delay the video so much that you can hear someone's voice before their lips begin to move. Video might be delayed when the 211 converts digital...

The HDMI 1.3 standard, as written, allows for the lip-sync feature you describe. But can you point to any products that, as manufactured, support this lip-sync feature? I'm not aware of any that do.

Kinda. The whole point of ICT is to drop the content's resolution over analog to 960x540. Since there's no common component-video standard for 960x540, manufacturers are free to output a 480p signal, or downrez to 960x540 (throwing away some of the HD goodness) and then scale it to a 1080i or...

I don't think it's an L447 problem. I suspect that WBZ is broadcasting in 2.0. I've posted a question over on AVS -- maybe Robert Yankowitz (RF Systems Manager, CBS Boston) will respond as he's done in the past.

L447 showed up overnight, my OTAs have sound again, and last night's recording of Heroes is no longer soundless. :) So I've gone from clueless to pissed to neither in <12 hours: a new record! :D

No, the problems are real. It's just that L4.46 has not been proven to be the culprit. Of course, L4.46 was found standing over the corpse, holding a smoking gun in one hand and a full confession in the other, but the jury hasn't returned yet with a verdict.

Chalk up another 622 OTA sound kill for 446. No sound on 9 of my OTA channels, but there is sound on 6 PBS OTA channels and subchannels. Why PBS? Who knows. Had a swell time with 1st-level tech support trying to explain that on OTA HD channels the 622 kept sending silent digital audio to my...

And the kicker is that much of the 24/7 "HD" is really SD in upscaled stretch-o-vision.:mad:

I think you missed my point. I agree that 10-bit color isn't a feature of HDMI 1.3 that we should be anxiously awaiting. But the lip-sync feature of 1.3 would offer some benefit. The problem is that a box that claims "HDMI 1.3" doesn't give us a clue as to whether the box has implemented 10-bit...
