    Who's has an HD source on their Projo?

    Who all is running an HD source on their projo and if so what and how do you like it.
    I've got a Shaw Cable Motorola DCT6200 HD receiver running to my X1.I've had it for 2 days and aside from the lack of programing I have a hard time prying myself away from watch HD shows.

    I feel upgradeitis setting in.Now I want too get a higher res projo.DVD's didn't really give up much resolution to hi-res projo's.But it is sure noticable on HD programs.I might just have to splurge and get that Sanyo PLV-Z2 this fall.

    I have the Star Choice DSR-500 for HD.

    The picture is absolutely STUNNING on my JVC HX-1U on my 110'' screen. 8O

    Sitting at 7' (no screen door effect or pixelation with a 3 chip LCOS) from this big screen in HD is unbelievable... :E

    It's really like looking through a window.

    I'm dreaming of those elusive HD-players... :cry:
    To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO.

      Samsung DirecTV HD decoder producing 1080i, 720p, or 480p. I only have very limited DirecTV HD material. HDNet, ESPN, and a couple of others. Image wise, on either of my projectors, it's quite impressive. I also have the Samsung DVD-HD1000 DVD player that up converts to 720p or 1080i set manually. It seems everything except the projector is set manually with dip switches. The projectors of course, are menu driven. I know the DVD player is doing what it says it will, as I have set the projector manually to either 720p or 1080i, and changed the DVD player back and forth. When not matched to the projector resolution, you get strange image scrolling, and no real picture. In short, I am quite happy with my video performance all the way around.

        I'm running a Dish Network 6000u receiver and like Lex, my selection of HD channels is slim... however very good quality.

        I'm toying with the idea of getting VOOM Satellite as they offer a little over 30 HD channels now and more coming. I think the receivers lack a little bit to be desired but are being improved continuously via software upgrades.

        I just posted a thread on VOOM: HERE

          I've got a Z2, cable TV and a 6200 Motorola HD box.

          The picture is perfect.

          However, we have the same problem here as most everyone else - not enough shows.

              I'm using component cables.

              I'm curious about the DVI connection too, but don't have the cabling for it yet. The required cable length is about 30', which is on the long side for DVI, and an expensive cable as well.
