Therefore a 'Stabiliser', they claim, is redundant. They say what is required is a surge and spike protector - something like this - Monster PowerCenter™ HT 800 with Clean Power™ Stage 1 at the best price in India! Sumaria.in

I also went to a couple of leading AV showrooms locally. There also I found that they were hooking up the equipment to raw power - had no stabiliser at all.

please:

EDIT: Perhaps the conversation on stabilisers can be moved/continued here.. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/gadget...abilisers.html

As Selective said, Devi is at the mercy of Panasonic supplying the TV to them. Devi doesn't keep stock of the Panny but gets it on demand basis. So the delay is from the Panasonic wholesale dealer. Even we got it a day late. As i said earlier, since I paid only 500 bucks I wasn't that worried.

Received the PV80D from Devi yesterday night.
SD content through Hathway STB does not look that great. I see scan lines in the background. Is it due to the poor signal quality? h Have to fix this part.
DVD content looks great. I have a panasonic home theater system as well. Watched Lord of Rings once again with its full grace.

thats odd - i have hathway and it works just awesome on my pv80 - try the natgeo, discovery, animal planet channels :)

I now used a different cable for video on hathway STB (the one which came along with my Home theater) and the picture has improved a lot and the scan lines have gone away.

I guess STB with component video will do great job.

Yes, those channels look great.
Thanks jassi.

I got a call from Panasonic asking when they have to come for installation. I was surprised with the prompt call. I thought they never call up.

I said I did it my self and he was fine with it.
He has taken the serial number of the TV to raise the warranty.

I get scan lines moving from the top to the bottom from my STB. I also get background noise. My cable wallah is not interested in changing the STB for me. Stupid fellow. I might have to move to DTH if this continues.
