Hello everyone,
Just got a new HD HR10-250 to go with my new Toshiba 50HP95 50 inch Plasma. I had a DirecTV Tivo Phillips DSR708 connected to the Plasma before the HR10-250 arrived. To my suprise, the SD picture looked really good. I mean really good. I have a Theatre Wide mode on the TV that stretched to picture only on the left and right sides. The middle was not streatched and the picture for he most part looked normal. You didn't get that wide body effect on people on the screen.
My question is I am not sure how to set my HR10-250. With the HR10-250, the HiDef channels look great. SD channels have that wide stretched body effect. I see I have more Video settings in the setup for the HR10-250. It is currently set to 1080i and 16:9. I tried setting it to 4:3 and using the stretch (Theatre Wide) mode on the TV, but the results are not like the results with the Philips DSR708. Still get the wide body look with the HR10-250
Also with the DSR708 (DirecTV Tivo) the guide information is more proportinal. With the HR10-250, the guide information seems a little stretched from left to right. Is this the way it should be with the HR10-250 or do I have some settings incorrect.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. I appreciate you guys.
Also, is there a recommandation for an Over the air antenna? The installer was suppose to bring one but didn't. I called DirecTV and they said it was their fault and gave me another $100 credit. I am in the Lafayette, LA area.
