New install with H20-700 and PQ

[Ronald_Jeremy]

My father had a new H20 installed yesterday and I have a few questions.

First a comment. I tried to make it over there for the install but didn't get there until the guy was just heading out the door. He seemed in a hurry.

Seems he had some trouble getting the locals over the satellite????????? But he finally pulled them in.

When I went to check out the OTA locals, he had never set them up. Fixed that.

Then I checked signal strength. Well there was no signal on tuner 2. He had two feeds hooked to the input. Well it turns out on of the feeds was just a cable coming out of the floor that my father used to pipe TV up to a TV in the front of the house. So I hook up the correct feed and he now has two tuners.

/rant

He doesn't have many HD channels, but the few I looked at were ok until things start moving. Then pixellation from hell. His signal strengths are upper 90's.

Discovery HD Theater was god awful when even moderate movement was going on. I set the H20 to native resolution and this seemed to help a little bit. But it still looks terrible compared to what I get at home.

It is on a 32" LCD.

Is this what Dave is passing off as HD? Any suggestions or tweaks I could do to improve it?

Funny that this should come up on the same day that I am reading in posts that it seems that content from DHD is seeming to come in at 1920 X 1088 all of a sudden. Damn, I was hoping things were getting better, but I guess we will see in September. I'm sure someone here can help you with the tech stuff better than me, good luck!
