Trouble with HD Channels thru Directv

jmoss78 · Post by **jmoss78** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 1:30 pm

I just bought a new sony 51" rear projection and sign up for directv HD. When I watch the directv HD channels especially the 1080 channels. When the picture moves vertically there is a small line running thru the middle of the screen the disrupts the picture. The line is only about 1/16" but it is still annoying. You can see it at other times but when the picture is moving vertically is when its the easiest to see. I havent seen the line on any off air HD shows or any progressive scanned dvd's so I dont think its the TV. I called directv and they had never heard of anything like this. they sent a technician and he only saw the line one time. I'm not sure if it has always been there, but it took me about two weeks to see it. Also I havent seen it on any of the other satellite or off-air non hd channels. Does anyone have any experience with this..any info is appreciated...sorry so long but this is hard to describe without seeing it

I found some places on the net today where other people were complaining about the same thing with this particular receiver, but no one seemed to know how t fix it..sounds like it is a common problem with this particular receiver....any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Based on what you have already found it may be the nature of the beast. That means you need a different model or different brand.

If you check that link there is a thread at AVS about a line.

Is this with DVI, component or both? What happens if you change the scan rate?
