Silver Member Username: TapemanPost Number: 476 Registered: Oct-06 | db-bass Regarding the question you asked in Sat forum Your TV should have Aspect preset for size and ratio Also some TVs may have wizard set-up but no big deal What is Aspect ratio? for TV either 4:3 or 16:9 repersenting small or big screen But each aspect has different resolution affecting overall size 1080p 1080i 720p 720i 480 etc Keep in mind sometimes during HD broadcast some clips or commercials appear in 4:3 aspect ratio there is not much you can do about it Feel free to ask here any questions King |

Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 516 Registered: Apr-05 | SO i hooked it up yesterday and i get maybe 12 channels, but all of them look like my cable analog channels at best. even the HD programs are definitely not "HD quality," compared to my HD channels that I subscribe to. i have manuvered the antenna around everywhere and the picture is nothing that i was expecting. i am thinking it is because i am in an appartment complex and the buildings around me are affecting the signal. what else could it be that i can try? |

Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 517 Registered: Apr-05 | also i bought an additional rg-6 cable (35ft)incase the 6ft one connected to the antenna is not long enough. Should i try to connect these and see if i can pick up a better signal from the back of the house? |
