RickB Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Are you getting the Dish 811 receiver? If you are that receiver has component and DVI output, but no HDMI. I use the component out on my 811 and the pictures great. I use HDMI out from a Denon 3910 DVD player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 17, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes it should be the 811 because it is not a dvr and i think that the 811 is the only other, i had checked out hdmi cables and they are about $100 for 10'. Tv has hdmi but i don't think dvi,guess i will just wait and see what they do and go from there. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 You will also need to run an Optical Digital cable out from the 811 to get Dolby Digital 5.1. If you do want to use the HDMI input on your TV, you could run a DVI to HDMI cable, but I have heard of people having ghosting issues with that setup.

gcoker Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 You will need both video and audio cables from your sat receiver to your TV and another audio to your AVR receiver. The audio to your AVR receiver needs to be either digital coax or optical. The audio to your TV needs to be standards RCA audio cale (red and white). For your video it all depends on the SAT receiver but by the sound of it it looks like component cable is what you will need and unless you are using your AVR receiver as video switching I would run it directly to your TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you set it up like mine with the TV speakers turned off all you need is an Optical Digital cable from the digital out of the 811, into your audio receiver or pre-pro. You won't need an audio cable to the TV. You will need to go into the 811 setup menu and select Dolby Digital/PCM. I also would run the component video cable straight to the TV if possible.
