Grey panel bar on Tivo HD for 480i programs: I wonder if Tivo HD does the same thing?

Yes, I have a series 3 tivo so from TiVo Central select: Messages & Settings---&gt;Settings---&gt;Video---&gt;Letterbox Color---&gt;select "Black" and you are set.

Works great on three HDTVs with mixed aspect ratios on Windows Server 2012 R2.

You have to go to the display settings of the cable box and remove the choices for 480 and 720 (if you have a 1080 tv, or remove 480 and 1080 if your tv is 720). Only the applicable resolution should be selected and you should have no more problems.

i have a different model but similar issue- the color was only black and white. the green is a shared port so use it as yellow and go in to the settings - go to options then down to input options. then go to AV input and change the setting to VIDEO. I bought a tv and the online trouble shooter said bad tv so I ordered another and it did the same. this time I called support and they helped

HD is not working when motion detection is active. Pixel Resolution is so BAD.

Is the convertion from 1080p to 720p the reason I get two grey bars left and right when I tune into a HD channel? If not, why do I get those bars? The picture is quite good but not full left and right.

Hi there! I have the 46D64U and I believe I have the answer for you. If you're watching HD content through the HDMI cable, you shouldn't have to watch it zoomed or stretched. With an HDMI connection your "view mode" options (the button is above the 3 on your remote) should be "Stretch, dot by dot, S.stretch, and zoom." If you are watching a true HD broadcast or source, you should select "dot by dot" as this will ensure that nothing is cut off or distorted. If, when you select "dot by dot," the image does not fill the entire screen (i.e. it looks like it's not widescreen, there are black bars flanking the image, etc.) then what you're watching isn't actually HD. Make sure the show you're watching is actually in HD; sometimes the channel guide will say it is even when it's not! I personally keep my settings on "dot by dot" regardless of content because I don't mind when non-HD content doesn't fill up the entire screen. I don't like having the image stretched and distorted as I feel it looks worse that way. You may have different preferences, but make sure that whenever you're watching true HD content you aren't stretching the image or zooming in. Hope this helps!

I have the 55vt60 with about 1700 hrs. . I pulled up the tv menu and looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu . Yes , I see what you are talking about ( I think ) . I see it at about 1 ft. and it disappears at about 3 or 4 ft. . If you are seeing this all across the gray area . I believe you are OK . If you are seeing this in a small area in the gray that is different . You might have a problem . I would take a video of this and go to avsforum.com - Plasma Displays - ZT60 thread and post it there . If I am seeing what you see , it is OK . Sit back and enjoy !

I have a Tivo Premiere and I cannot find any way to connect it to prevent pixelation. Some users report the device has a faulty TV tuner. I get perfect reception when hooking directly to the TV and bypassing the Tivo.

I have not had this problem. Very happy with XL4 .. best TiVo yet. Can record 4 shows at same time while playback of another prerecorded show. Downloads/streams of shows (from netflix, for example) is fine .. no pauses for additional buffering.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.

Yep. It's like a halo around the characters, especially on grey or blue background. No difference between vga / dvi / display port (have not tried hdmi)

If you indicate the wiring in more details - what is connected to what - , I may be able to help. Is a HDMI to DVI adapter used? What is "elgato"?

Justin, I can't really answer that since I do NOT have a Tivo hooked up. So far as I know there is only 1 HDMI cable connection on your TV and you have the Tivo hooked up to that. So you would need to hook up the sound bar with the auxilliary cables (red, white, or yellow tip cables) into the back of your cable box. This is how I connected my sound bar.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

yes it does. you get black bars on the side. if you leave it in 16:9 mode, when you watch standard definition channels you automatically get the black bars on the side. the picture is sort of grainy though...it's not as clear as a standard tv when watching standard programs. only when you watch HD will you see a dramatic difference.
