direct tv receivers review

I have a question regarding LCD TVs and 1080p vs 720p?

I’m going to be buying a new LCD TV soon; most likely a 40″ or a 42″.

Now, I know what 1080p is: simply put it’s higher resolution: 1920×1080. My question is that I will not be putting this TV in the living room; it’s going to in my bedroom. I also will not have the cable receiver thus I will not receive 100% HD channels; I’ll only have the direct connection from the wall to the back of the TV

Therefore, should I honestly dish out an extra $250 for the 1080p? From reviews, I read that “only” Blu Ray supports 1080p. I can get a quality Sony or Samsung 720p TELEVISION for roughly $750; so I ask myself, “Why shouldn’t I”?

What do you think?

If you won’t be watching Blu-ray, playing on a PS3 or Xbox 360, then there is no need for you to dish out another few hundred dollars at the moment.

HD channels is only capable of broadcasting in 780p or 1080i, not 1080p. Modern technology simply doesn’t allow it especially when money comes in as a factor. It also won’t happen for the next couple of years.

My advice would be to save up for now until 1080p is capable of being broadcasted (which won’t happen until at least 2015) especially because many companies are now developing OLED tvs, the display itself without the casing is only 3mm, so the thinkness of the entire TV shouldn’t be over 1cm, but that piece of technology will not be cheap enough to mass produce in big sizes like 42″ until half a decade from now.

However if you have a PS3, Xbox 360, or Blu-ray player then forget everything I’ve said and get the 1080p because on a 42″ it will be noticable to the naked eye.

can split the signal from Direct TV satellite box and split into two 2-way TV splitter satellite?

I used to do signal cable has three television channels a cable box with a 3-way splitter. is possible that I'll be watching the same TV channel and can be operated both by remote control from a single source TV. All right. Sometimes you just want to look in the garage while working in some animals.

Yes, you can divide and do not need a special satellite distribution, as long as separated from the box. Only basic cable splitter work. Once the signal has passed through the receiver, just a regular TV input – if it came from cable, antenna or satellite – it does not matter. In addition, if there was another box, you can use a special satellite splitter (Called a switch multi-) to split the signal from the antenna before the box. You do not need a dual-head antenna as described above is not right (although more likely to have an apartment with two heads and – for reasons totally independent).

Can you get HD QAM coded signal to a satellite dish without box Direct TV set-top?

The first owners the house, I just bought left their dish on the roof with wires going to each room. Before installing a HD satellite in the hope of obtaining a more in the air HD signal, can you tell me if I could get a signal encrypted QAM existing antenna? This may seem a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure before going ahead and spent much time and money in purchasing a high definition signal by other means. In addition, like all new games appear to have QAM decoding capabilities, it seemed the logical question to do. Thanks!

The answer is NO, you must install the antenna on the roof itself, but you can reuse the cable is there.
