The satellite receiver produced a very good HD picture and a decent SD picture. The sound via HDMI and optical cable properly. The remote control at the same time the TV. I like that. The switching times are not ultra fast but not slow, so between 1-3 seconds. The only drawback: Sky HD: The sound does not work on my Samsung 40 inch LCD, but only on the music system over HDMI and Optical. Balance at 28.04.10
