Anyone else with this combo. I just bought the Zenith stb this weekend after a some research and I must say, I'm very impressed with it's output. I borrowed a sammy 160 stb a while ago, but it had so many bugs I couldn't deal with it.
I have a couple questions, first I set the 520's output to 720p and am pleased with it's performance...but I wanted to know if there were any suggestions on any of the other modes.
Second, both the tv and the stb have aspect controls, what's the magic combination of aspect ratios. I have the sammy set to wide and the zenith to normal and that seems to work, but the 4:3 ratio seem a little slim, ie the black bars on the side seem larger that I remember prior to using the 520. Is there a setting on the zenith to tell it I'm using a wide screen.
Currently I'm using the component connections, but I will be picking up a dvi cable on my way home tomorrow. Will there be any big difference in the pq?
Last thing, I'm in Arlington, TX, and seem to pickup almost all the hd ota sations with a crappy radio shack indoor antenna. My only problem is intermintant signal drop. Usually not too often, but enough to make me want a better antena. Any suggestions? I'd like to try the indoor variety first, Don't have the time to run any new line from the roof right now.
Thanks,
