Summary: review from Philadelphia
Review: It is quite surprising to me that one could think that an S-Video cable is sending data to be "decoded" by the television. The problem the gentleman from Philadelphia was having had absolutely nothing to do with the television. He should be quite aware that the "decoding" is actually performed entirely by his DSS receiver and is caused by the lack of signal from the dish.Though I cannot make a specific comment on this particular model, in my humble opinion Toshiba televisions are quite marvelous. You can be reasonably assured as a customer that the macro blocks experienced by the reviewer from Philadelphia would be seen on ANY television this customer purchased - and that YOU will not be plagued by this problem if you have properly installed your dish. Though at one time or another any digital source such as digital cable or digital satellite will at times have this problem if the signal TO the box is not good. It is my contention that the large blocks this reviewer witnessed on his TV were in fact of extraordinary image quality, though improperly "decoded" by his DSS receiver.

Summary: Digital Compression
Review: This "blocking" effect, known as pixeling, is the result of over compression of the digital signal by your DBS provider DIRECTV. This problem will eventually improve as DIRECTV launches more DBS satellites. I find EchoStar's DISH Network to be far superior as far as compression issues are concerened. Currently, EchoStar has more bandwith, therefore requiring less compression. I have a DISH Network receiver connected to my 62" Toshiba projection TV set via S-Video and am very pleased with the picture quality.

Summary: Nice Picture - Sometimes
Review: This TV has a nice picture on any analog inputs. If I use my DSS through the cable input the picture is great. However, if I use it through the S-Video Input at times of high motion the TV can't decode the signal fast enough. The result is a bunch of blocks on your 50" screen. Pretty irritating to spend $1500 on a TV and see blocks as the signal quality! It is a super obvious problem with any S-Video or Component input source. I am not at all satisified with this product!
