This is my first post on this forum...although I have been a very active browser of all the good, the bad and the ugly discussions that goes on.
I have a viewsat ultra and have been extremely happy with it...recently I got a Panny HDTV ...I tried the component output and for some reason it displays a very weird 'grayish' kind of image. I thought all I had to do was hook the cables...am I missing anything?...for the time being I am back to Coaxial....any other way to get the best picture quality from this box...Please note that I totally understand that this box is like a ticket to a buffet...'you get quantity but not quality'.
I had the same problem, hooked it up with a s-video cable, made a big difference, hooked it up with monster cables and made a bigger difference. Also do what African told you, it will make a difference also.
