Various forums report that there are three different manufacturers for DirecTV's H20, -100 (Thompson/RCA), -600 (LG) and -700s (Pace): http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=8488933&highlight=lg+samsung#post8488933 I haven't run across anyone who actually opened one up to see what's actually inside, but would speculate that LG is using their 5th gen LGDT3303 chip and would suspect that the other manufacturers are also using either the LG or an "equivalent" 5th gen chip based on date of design. holl_ands ================================================= flyback1 <flyback1@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sigh. I have a DirecTV HD receiver, model H-20. It is the latest, greatest they make. It works better than any of the eight others I have tried. I think the ATSC portion of this receiver is fifth generation. Not certain where I read this, may have been here or Audiokarma? Still can't get clear, steady pictures without occasional breakups. Just not acceptable to me. --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $310,000 Mortgage for $999/mo - Calculate new house payment
