Has anyone added a STB to their Hitachi 53or60SDX? IMHO the RCA DTC100 does not work properly even with their VGA to YPrPb converter and the latest software update (40b). Can someone relate their experience with these HDTV's?

When watching 1080i content, the display would go completely black (gray bars included) intermittently for a couple of seconds at a time - this would happen anywhere from about 5 times per hour up to 25 times per hour. I got no where with Hitachi as they blamed the Toshiba STB. I have a Sony HD100 ordered and will try that to confirm whether or not the problem is with the TV or the STB. |

Originally posted by DLB: I beg to differ. There is nothing wrong with the 60SDX88b. It's a great unit. I've got one set up with a RCA DTC100, AA Converter, Directv and Local OTA HDTV. Works perfectly. Great HDTV picture and 4 x 3 picture. Problem is with STB compatability of other units... with all this waiting that's been going on for the 2nd generation of STBs -- it's not worth it DTC 100 still rules! |

I'm sorry I do not recognize the UM initials on the STB, which brand? When you say "they" were out several times, who is they, an authorized service guy or Hitachi? |
