Re: Question for DirecTV HD users...

Hi,

Thanks for the response, but you didn't answer the question. Let me explain.

Sony replaced a defective KDS-50XBR1 (the previous SXRD line) with the brand new (mfg 9/06) KDS-55A2000. My real issue is that the new set does not have anywhere near the picture quality of the old set before it went haywire. Apparently Sony is having real problems manufacturing the SXRD optical blocks. Anyway, in checking and double checking everything I could think of, I encountered the error message. What I was really after was some opinion based on experience whether signal strength in the mid-80s is acceptable, and whether the error message might be some artifact since all channels seem to work.

Clearly I want the best signal possible, but I am sometimes getting poor resolution from DVD (two sources – DENON DVD-3800 and Panasonic DVD-S77), XBOX 360, and off the air HD as well (but not as bad). I'm just trying to work systematically through the issues. I am calling DirecTV, though to ask ‘em to check out my LNBs.

Cheers, Joe
