Set the 811, (or 921) to 1080i, and leave it. No need to do any switching afterwards.

Call a local Retailer. And, we'll check your receiver in the store for free. If you can reach your LNBF, we'll check it for free too!!!!

tycl,

Your DLP is a digital display and uses 720p pricture format as native resolution.

View your picture with the STB in 1080i then 720p and see the difference. But you would normally let the TV make the change.

CBS, NBC and PBS transmit in 1080i while ABC, ESPN and FOX transmit in 720p.
