New member Username: Pacman89Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-07 | I hooked up my receiver using component cables but the channels are not really showing as High Definition (still only 480i). Is there a setting on the satellite I have to change? Or anything extra I have to buy? Thanks in advance. |

New member Username: Pacman89Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-07 | But it has component hook-ups in the back, so it should have some sort of High Def. Correct? |

Bronze Member Username: CarpiePost Number: 13 Registered: Dec-07 | The component output delivers the signal to the TV in a different way, but the signal from an Extreme is not and will never be HD. If some one led you to believe this than you have been given bogus information. Was it satgrl? |

New member Username: Pacman89Post Number: 4 Registered: Dec-07 | What if my HDTV has a built-in tuner? And also, where can I get a tuner needed for high-def? |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2545 Registered: Sep-06 | I also have HDTV but the sat receiver has to have the tuner to receive the channels first. Right now it is "around" $750 for a HDTV receiver, and a adapter you have to get in order to receive DN HDTV. Most of us are going to wait for the receivers to drop in price and be more stable....looking at the dreambox now.. Good luck do some shopping for the viewsat 9000 HD receiver |

New member Username: Pacman89Post Number: 6 Registered: Dec-07 | Ok, now I am returning the Extreme Receiver and I was wondering. If I only get the receiver, will I have the HD channels? Or is it a must that I have to buy the adapter/tuner with it? And whichever way I go, will all the channels be HD? Or only a few channels? |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2554 Registered: Sep-06 | Only HD channels will be in HD. the HD receiver does not make every channel be in hd. You will get every channel on each sat you have a lnb pointed at when the coders have a bin out that allows viewing of DN programing. Their is no promise that you will be able to watch DN-BEV channels all the time. In the last few weeks most of DN-BEV programing has not worked with a fta receiver. I looked around at lots of places and its still around $700 for the HDTV receiver and adapter. You will need also to be able to receive more sat's than just 110-119 in order to enjoy all the HD channels. I would suggest a motorized dish so you can get all the sat's not 1 or 2. With that much $ invested might as well get everthing. I have 2400 channels here with mine. |
