New member Username: SawdoxPost Number: 1 Registered: Feb-07 | I've just got a Philips 42" plasma. Seems to be working fine in general except when I'm watching sports. The picture then is not very sharp and when players move quickly, there's a kind of wavy shadow around them. Is this a tv problem or the way I've got the tv set up? thanks |

Do you have problems between regular SD and HD from receiver/tuner Start with few basics and FAQs - Is splitter good or bad for HD. Ans (no problem at all) cable does not use high frequency like Satellites - Can I use regular coax cable? ans. Try Not to! King highly recommends quad shield RG-6 with good crimps - I'm using great RG-6 in my house but signal is bad. Try to install an in line booster preamp. Cable companies know about it and it is their job to do it not you. But if you got free cable just buy the booster about $12. Or moisture from rain got to the crimps (outside your house) - I get great HD reception but poor SD Ans. bad set-up. EACH BROADCAST MAY OR NOT BE SAME pixel frame size so you must switch back and forth to each system. SET THE AUTO wizard (read your manual) In receiver or tuner set advanced setup to enable * 480 standard * 480i * 480p * 720i * 720p * 1080i followed by the wizard for auto switching If one of these not enabled will cause poor quality on LCD/Plasma/or DLP Your receiver or tuner will detect broadcast aspect ratio/resolution but is up to you to set it for auto switch including auto stretching 4:3 and keeping 16:9 so you don't have to mess with that either If this doesn't fix all HD/SD problems - Ask King first IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RUN BOTH SATELITE AND CABLE or antenna with one Coax cable.
