[QUOTE="silversonic, post: 895105, member: 1231"] To elaborate: (have just been through the manual :RTFM:) these are the HD/DVD1 and HD/DVD2 inputs. (which follow after the Video1, Video2, Video3 & Video4 inputs) I think the DSTV video signal (SD) is unsupported by these 2 inputs, as apparently only a 1125i(1080i)@50/60Hz, 750p(720p)@50/60Hz, 625p(576p)@50Hz, 625i(576pi@50Hz, 525p(480p)@50Hz & 525i(480i)@50Hz video signal is supported here, and the DSTV SD native resolution from the decoder comes in only at 480p, which explains why the image is not displayed at all when trying to connect the DSTV SD video signal to the HD/DVD1 or HD/DVD2 inputs. :( I guess my only chance of getting a HD TV video signal signal displayed on the Sony TV, is to upgrade to a HD DSTV decoder, providing it has a RCA type (not HDMI type) video output.
