You have it backward Tom, Fox uses 5.1 to pass the network feed When there is no network we up-convert the SD signal and stretch it to 16:9 (so you don't...
I know that there are others in Atlanta with the Toshiba DST-3000 (or the Hughes and Mitsubishi flavors) and DirecTV, so I thought I'd post my first-hand...

I've tried all of these "fixes" to no avail. I've attempted hard and soft resets. I've waited overnight. I've reloaded the guide about 10 times. It would seem...

Kenny, I have the Terk 55. My advice is to dump it and get a better antenna. The Terk is really next to worthless for receiving TV/HDTV signals. I suggest a...
