I'm not going to go so far as to say "garbage" but I will absolutely agree that wireless devices, for me and my husband, have historically never worked out too well. We had a couple cheaper...

I assume the indoor rabbit ears probably aren't helping, they rarely do. Could it also be a problem with his digital signal converter, maybe? I remember my dad had a few problems with his not being...

Thanks so much for the advice! In your experience, if "minimal smoothing" causes jerkiness, is it bad enough to be distracting? Or at least is it LESS distracting than the horrible smoothing effect?...

Yeah, for right now the DVD player is just in the composite inputs, which doesn't look...great, to be honest. (We're also trying to figure out how to turn off the motion smoothing, which we hate!) I...
