I have a new Zenith Iqb56w10g RPTV which has a built in Hd decoder,but am confused about connecting to the Starchoice satelite system in Ontario. Do I still have to buy a separate decoder to receive their HD signal,if so what is the point of the internal decoder? Appreciate any info. Thanks Bob
Follow Ups:
I think you need the external decoder, as there is no HDTV feed from the standard reciever. At this point there are only a couple of HDTV feeds and only some of the time. If I was you I would want before paying the extra money for just two stations.
Hi, The internal HDTV decoder in most TV's can decode over the air signals (Try putting up a radioshack antenna and you may pick up detroit if you are close enough, or buffalo?)It is also compatible with the US DirectTV signals...
STarchoice uses different encoding, and so you need a HD-201 Navigo HDTV decoder box. This unit is now priced about $400.00 cdn. It will only hook up to the Navigo 401 receiver, so if you have the newer and simpler 305 Starchoice unit, you may want to see if you can trade up at your local dealer, or use the 305 in a second room.I have to admit that starchoice is improving their program offerings slowly... It is now normal to see several movies through the week in HD, along with at least a couple of hours of network programming in prime time. Leno is always on if you want to see his chins in HD.
I was even able to watch ABC in 5.1 DD sound last nite, which is something that starchoice has been struggling with for months.
for the whole scoop on hd in canada see www.kusat.com and look in the discussion forum for HDTV.
Hope this helps.
Hi fanatic, thanks for your reply, it is the best information I have received from anyone so far. Appreciate it Bob
