Has anyone successfully used the Echo with a HD Homerun prime tuner and what is the quality? Thks Roy

Yes, that's the setup I have I works fine. Resolution seems fine. Don't use it much, though. Too many commercials on over-the-air TV, even if you can fast-forward though them.

Pioneer sold in amazon is problematic. It only plays/receives the stations ending in even numbers, the stations ending with odd numbers cannot be listened to. I have thrown mine away. Procuring it from local market will be much better for you.

So did you ever solve your tuner problem? I hooked mine to my cable box to record programs that would fill in my cable co. DVR or did you try connecting this to one of the $40 government ATSC to analog boxes?

is it possible that it IS hd but dimmed? when i got my satellite upgrade, i was horrified to see that the picture i was getting was about half the brightness of over the air broadcasts that looked absolutely beautiful. it took me a day or so to figure out that the tv comes from the factory defaulted to 'autoview' under 'picturemode' in the picture menu. put it on 'sports' or 'standard' to suit your taste. this tv is all about inputs, and i assume you have it set on 'antenna/cable'. if you do, i should think you'd be getting HD just fine. good luck. -dan

IT works ok from my HD Box but not from the audio outputs at the backside of my tv. The Shart works but the sound Quality insnt so good. Whyred is that?

Janet, did you after connecting the coax cable, then AUTO-TUNE your TV? That is, go to the settings where it searches / tunes the broadcast channels? It's a necessary step, taking maybe 2-3 min. (Sorry if my info insults, just want to be sure you completed the entire set up process!)

I purchased the Samsung for there good reviews but had sound problems on the HD chanels. It looks like Samsungs digital tuner isn't stable on the sound if you are using a satilite box or cable box then the sound doesn't go through the tvs digital tuner so I think this is why there are so many good reviews most people are using a box for there tuner. Samsungs customer service was terrible but Amazon took the tv back and I purchased the Sony with out any sound problems.

I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner. Hope this helps! Dave

I am interested in buying this player. I have a cable box from charter and all the cables from it go directly into my sharp hdtv. how do I hook this unit up so I can record tv shows. Also, whats the difference between tunerless and units that have built in tuner. Which should I buy? Thanks for any thoughts

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

The soundbar is meant to replace the low quality tv speakers. It's not meant to be both on at the same time. That's why you get the echo.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

I am getting very good results with the 3' Firestik II with the tune-able tip on my Toyota Tacoma. $20 on Amazon. You also need an SWR meter to tune the antenna properly

Transmitter works great but there is s slight delay which will cause kind of an echo effect. I just mute the TV and use the BT speaker.

I don't get an echo. I use on a limited basis (mostly at home), but my friend uses this a lot. He desperately needs help. He is very happy with it.

HD is better, however the signal is affected by the same things that have afected analog. The diference is that with analag disturbances you would still see a pcture but it could become grainy or have ghosting, with digital if the signal gets too much interference your digital tuner doesn't have enough data to construct the picture and either severe pixalation occurs or the picture vanishes. Even a high quality outdoor digital antenna will experience the same problems.
