I have a Panasonic 600U with Dish as a source. The picture quality I get even with low def programs is very good. DVD and hi def is spectacular. So, for the most part, I would agree with the posts above in that your panel is not the source of your problem.

Although you don't mention what kind of picture quality you are getting with a hi def source from the satellite. How about that? I think it is a little odd too that you are getting the color shift between channels. I have none of that and I would consider it abnormal. I never had that as a problem even when I was using a CRT. Color has always been consistant on broadcast and across the Dish.

I have a 4 yr old sat reciever hooked up with coaxial cable. So quite possibly its the reciever and the cable

What coax? RG59 or RG6? How do you connect to the TV? Coax as well? If your receiver, and possibly your dish, are not capable of receiving HD, then yes, you will need to replace those.

If you are running coax to the TV, get rid of that and connect with component or HDMI. If you are running RG59 from the dish, you need to replace that with RG6.

First of all you guys and this site are awsome. I have RG6 cable from dish to reciever and then to TV. No high def stuff and that is my problem. I will be getting new stuff
