Also, (this question should probably be in the Dish forum) I cannot find the correct code for the TV to power on/off with the Dish remote. I can change the channels, but not power.
Anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?
Greatly appreciated,

EDIT: Liz, Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. I moved the post to this thread for better visibility with your issue. |
You can use the coaxial cable to connect to the TV, but I would recommend connecting the Dish Network receiver to the Sylvania
HDTV using the component inputs on the TV for a crisper picture. To clear up the grainy picture, make sure you have the 3/4 output switch on the back of the Dish Network receiver on the same channel as the TV. If the Dish receiver is set to 3 make sure the TV is switched to channel 3. If that doesn't help, switch the Dish receiver output to 4 and select channel 4 on the TV to see if that helps.
When you are viewing SD programming from Dish Network, your
HDTV will set the picture to a small box in the center of the screen. You can choose the zoom feature on your remote control to fill the screen.
I'm not totally sure, but I don't believe you can program the TV remote to work the Dish Network receiver. You need to set up the Dish remote to control the
HDTV. Post back with the mmodel number of the Sylvania and we'll try to find the correct code.
