Looking to get back into CB. TV Interference was a problem before the days of cable. Any complaining neighbors with you running the IMAX-2000?

i have never had any problem with tv , when running a IMAX 2000 antenna.I have had 4 Imax 2000 antenna in the past.

Place an rf choke at the feed point to decouple the coax from the antenna, many ways to do this. You will for the most part stay out of TV's, but you may get into computer speakers if they are in the radiation field of the antenna. Same thing with telephones, if it's close it's possible. Rule of thumb : the higher the antenna is the better off you will be in terms off interference. However, loud audio and high power ALL bets are off.

Not one complaint been running it for a good while with some power and no complaints. Great talker.

No, I don't have any complaints from neighbors. I also have the ground plane kit which supposedly pushes the radio waves out towards the horizon, and helps with TVI. It also makes a difference in transmit and receive.

Anybody?....we have tried everything. There is supposed to be an option for av out in the quality video settings. However the options in quality are the same as in panel quality. Very dissapointed right now. How do I get them both to play video as well as hearing the movie?

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

I'm an Old School holdout. Never had cable, never will. There's enough on broadcast TV to distract me from real life. Odd you should ask this question. To answer, YES. I had an old giant CRT running off an Insignia DTV box without any problems right up to the day the tuner in the TV went belly up. I retained the DTV box to feed my VCR (Yes, I still have several of those) and added the Vizio with a splitter. The Vizio did not like this arrangement and refused to accept some channels. I finally had to feed the Vizio from another antenna outlet across the room. This solved the problem (mostly) but I have an annoying coax cable running through the bedroom. Depending on the weather the picture and sound will break up at times. If it really gets unbearable I watch the programming through the DTV box that far outperforms the Vizio direct tuner. Unfortunately this arrangement only allows a reduced screen and fuzzy captions. In my opinion the tuner capture capability of the Vizio is borderline and a real disappointment. I'm running a roof mount antenna in a suburban area.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

Not me but I am using hdmi cable with a samsung 46" LCD LN46B640. It was definitely near HD quality. Watched a regular dvd of inglourious basterds and district 9 this week and the picture quality was nothing short of amazing. In district 9, the helicopter shot over the alien camp was so crystal clear that it looked like 3-d. I'm gonna have to rent the blu-ray version to compare them. I've been happy with the upconversion. I also have a regular sony dvd player (dvp-ns700h/b) that got great reviews and I still use in my bedroom. Is that the one you have? You could even see my 5/14/08 amazon review of the sony dvd player to see how much I love my sony dvd player (dvp-ns700h/b). The Sony dvd player does an amazing job of upconverting. Probably the best outside of an oppo. Maybe even slightly better than the panasonic blu-ray player. Not really sure though because I have been really impressed with dvds in the panasonic. Maybe I will set up both with my television and really compare them. I do suggest you to connect an hdmi to your television though. That may fix your problem. Maybe the sony converts better than the panasonic with the component cables but the panasonic may convert equally well with an hdmi.

I have only noticed a minor motion 'jerkiness' on a couple of TV shows, but I attribute it to my satellite receiver, otherwise Sports in HD and DVD viewing are phenomenal! I will look into the owners manual, to see if I can find anything. You say it is intermittent...for all viewing or on certain shows? Also, are you viewing via cable or satellite?

Thanks Andrew.How to you like your new HDTV.Any regrets.Any suggestions?We can't wait. Hope it gets here in time for NFL on Sunday or better yet in time for Battlestar on Friday night.

Yes that's correct. Dump the cable TV bill, and use an antenna, it looks better, and it's free. This does do atsc, and over the air, the picture quality compared to cable looks great. I am going to be dropping pay tv, because clear qam is how I used one tuner for. Ya listening Comcast?

Well MFin, my replacement set arrived last week and, thus far, it's been absolutely perfect. The crystal clear edges and deep blacks that sold me on this set in the showrooms is now alive and well in my living room. High Def looks absolutely sick. The "buzzing sound" that many owners cite (and admittedly, was very noticeable in my 1st set) is now virtually non-existant. I'm going to chalk my first experience up to a fluke. I hope you end up with a '5084 that meets or exceeds your expectations. I recommend you give it 1 last shot....good luck!

Yes. Lemme say though. I'm a guy who likes cool gimmicks. 3D, isn't great. Not with ps3, or 4... Not with most movies. Headache, literal, and not something one often uses. I know more than a few folks in the same spot. I still have that TV. I also have a samsung led stripped out, not smart, but hd and under a grand. Costco selling them.

I haven't. Encountered a signal problem of any kind. However, after checking with my carrier ATT the area I live in is saturated with towers. I stated this to say that this may be the reason why I haven't experienced any signal problem. But the answer to your question is "no, haven't had a problem with signal interference."

We have this set. It's been ok. Still working after 3.5 years but the interference.... oi! I hate it! If I lay in the wrong spot in bed, or if my husband wears his watch to bed, or if one of us is walking around in the house it goes off, and by going off I mean a LOUD warning type of Beeping... like WAKE UP NOW. I would no longer recommend this one at all! It does that no matter the channel either, so I cannot imagine what it would do with another monitor. Cell phones and other electronic devices make it sound odd as well.

it's stable for me. I've had the unit for about a month now. It was a pain to get it it setup properly, it took me 3 tries, and I had to wait 24 hours after each try, but now its very stable. Just remember that you have to have the IR blaster in front of your cable box at least when the TV is not in use. Otherwise the Diga can't download the new listings, and then all the listings will show "No data" until it downloads the new listings.

Thanks for checking this for me! Yeah, I've been checking out the 4061 as well, but right now they are very close in price, so I thought it would be nice to bump up in CR and get the better sound (especially sine I won't be hooking up surround in this location - above fireplace in LR.) The 4066 sold by Worst Service has the exact same panel, but the sound is not as good since they ditch the side speakers to narrow it. Not worth it. I'll probably go with the 4061 since I know it'll fit and also seems to be an outstanding TV.

same here. Set up tonight. This background noise is annoying. Like nails on a chalk board. Sending it back. Hoping for better replacement. Shame...it looks good for my small home office (in a spare bedroom). I don''t need fancy, but I don't need this headache that this tv is giving me.
