Home theatre suggestions?

Question

I have my Tivo and Dish Network standard cable running through my dvd player (which is part of a home theatre in a box). I connected to my LCD via HDMI cable, and the picture was smaller than the screen and terrible quality. Am I waisting time since I haven't upgraded my cable service to HD?

Answer 1

first of all why are you running through your dvd player and how. dvd players dont have the ability to broadcast tv signals so how are you doing this. your picture quality will not be truly realized until you start using an hd signal. that is the purpose of having an hdmi cable. get hd from dish with dvr. lose the tivo and you picture will jump off the screen for you.

Answer 2

need model no.

sounds like the htib is messing with the signal---connect everything to the tv instead.  it should have the inputs for it

if you are not using a hd signal you really don't need a hdmi cable, but it won't hurt anything
