Native Setting

[samvonac]

I have an HR21-700. What is the purpose of the Native setting under HDTV? I find that when I set it to Off, changing channels is faster and there is much less flicker on the screen.

I leave it on and only have one resolution set for 1080i. This makes all shows go to 1080i. With native resolution on and you select all the other resolutions that your tv supports like 480i,480p,720p,1080i, you get flashes as the receiver will change to what that channel is presented in. So Sd channels will go to 480i or 480p and hd will go to 720p or 1080i. This causes delays in the picture as the receiver changes to the proper resolution.

I have mine set to on as well but only have checked 720p and 1080i

My TV is 720p so I set native to ON and checked 720p only. This seems to stop the flickering.

I got them all checked,With native on. Setting to 1080i all the time makes my SD programming unwatchable!

To me 480p on my TV at least the SD looks to soft 720p looks sharp

It looked to me like the jump from SD to HD seemed a bigger hit than 720p and 1080i. I can't tell any difference in 480i or 480i converted to a pillar boxed 720p other than the thin side black likes that seem to get added in the upconversion.

Native does make changing channels take forever.
