DirectTV - Washed-Out Look on Regular/Non-HD Channels

12 years ago
I recently signed for the the High Definition version of DIrect TV which seems to provide a great looking signal on High Definition channels, but a rather poor one on regular ones.

On regular channels, especially on the national ones, the image looks a bit like a poorly painted watercolor ( a washed-out look resulting from the used of too much water).

Direct TV tecnicians came a few times and after changing a few things (including the receiver and a multi-switch box) ended up sugesting that my TV is the one at fault.

I find this hard to believe. The TV is a brand new Samsung LED unit that I brought with me from the US and it looks great on the High Definition channels and with DVD and BluRay discs.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem with their Direct TV service?

In case it makes a difference, I am in Quito.

Best Regards

Miguel Angel
