Hi I read some of your post and found your comment really interesting.
You were saying that the HD FTA won't provide a real HD experience and that a blu-ray player would enhance the picture more than these HD FTA.
I was thinking of buying one of those HD FTA but you made me reconsider
My LCD tv resolution 720P/1080i and my fta receiver is cw-800, would adding a blu-ray player really improve my picture quality more than buying a CW-4000 or a Sonicview 360 HD
Thanks for your help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Reply
Randy48 I wrote many posts against HD FTA receivers Many people will always disagree But I always express my personal opinion
Current HD FTA were built for 720pHD which was first introduced about 8 years ago At present time there is no 720PHD/MPEG-2 FTA Last was B#V until they recently switched to Nagra*3 D#N to my estimate got about 6 weeks +/- 10 days take or give Plus it will need yo to spend another $150 for 8PSK Module that will last yo few days It will be cheaper to subscribe to D#N HD Turbo for $25/month
So purchasing HD FTA receivers now days is like buying christmas trees in January
Yor current Standard Definition FTA can be easily connected to yor blu-ray player for better upscale to best video quality
I have a visionsat which is 480i I upscale it to 1080i on my Panasonic Plasma The picture is outstanding Much better than my other VU-sat crap
If yo have a pixilation issue on yor HDTV Make sure yo ask me Do not PM me I don't usually respond to PM Half of them from White Hawk
