Directv 1080p upgrade

[pm240sx]

Is anyone else have trouble using the 1080p on there HD-DVR from Directv. I'm getting my TV. is unable to handle the resolution (sony KDS-60A2000). Thats complete B.S. because my TV is a 1080p capable tv and my PS3 plays 1080p content perfectly. Anyone having this issue?

It's not just 1080p but must support 1080p/24 and the set must handshake properly with the HR2X over HDMI that it can support it. I've seen a number of people post about problems with Sony on this issue. I had a Sony KDF46E2000 that always had issues with audio via HDMI from HR2X's saying it was passing unsupported audio, never had a problem with any other set I've used with HDMI.

I would also make sure users have a quality v1.3a HDMI cable such as those found here for about $4: (not the older versions)

If your TV is 1080p/60 or 1080p/30 and not able to Nativity compose or upconvert it will not work or work properly with 1080p/24

Sony Bravia 1080p/24, same thing with mine, can never get the HD-DVR to read it, tried everything, but my TV will display my Blu-Ray and PS3 in 1080p/24, decided I'm not worrying about it anymore...

I have the same set and unfortunately it is not capable of accepting 1080p/24 which is what DTV is sending. The set only accepts 1080p/60. Worse, the video chips in the current DTV HDDVRs can't support 1080p/60, so the current receivers will never do it!

A lot of us got screwed by TV manufacturers who knew that 24p content was coming yet still advertised 1080p/60-only TVs as "1080p" without specifying that they only did 1080p/60, and didn't also do 1080p/24.

same problem here. today manufacturers are making sets that display higher rates than 60 but they also added 24hz support to some not all. I'm sure D's next line of HD Dvr's will support 60hz at 1080p
