First, let me thank all the members of this forum for giving me, a complete newcomer to all this, the information and courage (literally!) to purchase a plasma tv. Also, my experiences with forum vendors has been first class.
I have a Panasonic TH50PHD6UY and a Hughes HTL-HD receiver with satellite service. I also purchased a DVI connection and have inserted it into slot 1. I get a "no signal" message when trying to use the DVI. I get a beautiful signal using the set's component connection, however. I know from doing a search that there have been some problems with DVI with this plasma and some receivers. Is this something I've done wrong ... or maybe something I haven't done, like a setting somewhere? Or is it a problem with this hardware combination? If it's a problem, what would you recommend? I've got a progressive scan DVD (Panasonic) with a component connection, and I really don't want to be physically moving cables around under the set whenever I want to watch it. Should I get a second component connection? Any help would be very much appreciated!
