I have come across two Panasonic plasma TV's where the picture will freeze up while watching digital and/or HD channels. This won't happen during analog channel viewing. Is anyone experiencing this? |

Need more info:
Do you use TIVO/DVR?
Are you HD/Digital antenna?
Are you an HD Cable or HD satellite user?
Did you do the wizard installation?
Do you use RGB components or HDMI?
I do have 2 panasonic plazma 0% problems |

Just make sure you set the wizard for auto switching.
SET THE AUTO wizard (read your manual)
Since broadcasters use all of these you must enable them all or it won't look right.
Most TVs are preseted for TV tuners in case you tune externally:
In receiver/cable box set advanced setup to enable all:
* 480 standard
* 480i
* 480p
* 720i
* 720p
* 1080i
followed by the wizard for auto switching
If one of these not enabled will cause poor quality on LCD/Plasma/or DLP
Wizard will allow your receiver or tuner to detect broadcast aspect ratio/resolution but is up to you to set it for auto switch including auto stretching 4:3 and keeping 16:9 so you don't have to mess with that either.
If this doesn't fix all HD/SD problems
- Ask King first
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RUN BOTH SATELITE AND CABLE or antenna with one Coax cable.
"yes yes yes"

King,
I don't think I need to do an auto wizard when using a cable card. I think th auto wizard you are referring to is the Auto Program that you normally go thru when running TV for first time. However, manual for Panasonic TH-37PX50U says the auto program is not available for tuner cards. |

Panasonic has a great built in auto wizard
But you didn't answer my questions in post 558 and I have no idea what you are using I was making a guess. |

Zenith is not a brand I would recommend for Plasma
Call Zenith see if they can reset it for you.
But I think you R going to end up taking it to service
Find the closest place to you so you can drive it |
