Samsung 4215 problems with HD picture Can't Post

Ok, I need some help here. I have had my Samsung 4215 for almost a year now and finally moved to an area where I can get HD channels. Problem is the channels come in distored and with a greenish/red ghost effect. What could be the problem here? The picture is great on all the other channels. Thanks in advance for any help.

How are you getting the bad channels ( over the air,cable or sat)?

How are the recievers connected?

Are the other channels that look great,coming from the same source as the bad channels(ota,cable or sat)?

Sorry for not including that info... All signal comes in through the Motorolla digital box from the cable company and I have it hooked up through the component inputs. And yes all channels come in great except for the HD channels which carry the problem described above.

Your Samsung Spk-4215 Plasma set is a ED not Hd set.

Hd is 720p 0r 1081i,your set only does 480p.

So regular channels are up converted from 480i to 480p.

Hd channels must be downconverted to 480p.Your set does a better job of upconverting than downconverting.

Check your cable box and see if you set the output to 480p.

Some cable HD boxs let you switch the output between 480p,720p or 1081i.

I guess I still wasn't specific enough... sorry, I'm not too smart with this stuff I guess. The set is not a plasma and the exact model number is HCM4215W. It is a projection that is HD ready.

Try moving the component video cables to other input on the set,if there is one.

Make sure cable box is set to output @ 1081i.

Pirate Sorry It happened to me also with Samsung. I purshased a Plasma TV Samsung and I first thought that the quality of the picture would be much better with HD. I waited a year and a half (A LONG TIME) thinking about HD everyday when I watch TV. Finally I had HD then I realized that the TV is worst than my CRT TV. My recommendation is start thinking to buy another brand and forget about Samsung.
