Smudging Problems
I have Dish Network and an excellent 35&quot; television. The problem I have noticed is that smudging appears on walls and certain backgrounds on some shows/movies etc. They are not always obvious unless you look for them. On certain broadcasts, they are completely un-noticable. Changes in brightness levels often show up in black and white shows on such things as dark suit coats.  If I watch these shows on the TV without going throught the DVD recorders tuner there is no such problem.  I was able to try an exact same model of this recorder and got the same results. No other reviews seemed to touch on this so I wondered if anyone else had this problem.  What I see on the screen when I record to the HDD or DVD is exactly what the tuner portrays.
