First time post...long time reader.
Question please:
I have SD Directv service (Self installed about 7 years ago). I have an old RCA reciever connected to a new 42" LG HD TV using an s-video cable. The picture is not the best, I'm assuming due to the limitations of the s-video feed.
If I buy an H21 receiver and connect it to the TV using component or HDMI cables will I see an improvement in picture quality? And, will Directv allow me to do this? I understand that this setup will not give me an HD feed, I'm just hoping for a better picture with the modern reciever and cable.
I have ordered an HD service upgrade, but between the terrible Chicago winter weather and a flakey installer, I don't think it is going to happen any time soon!
Any and all advise is appreciated!
