They make a new power cord adapter for the HD satellite receivers now called cloverleaf C5 IEC adapter and some of the HDTV's will need a power cord IEC adapter too.
One my friends ordered one of these cloverleaf c5 IEC adapters for his HD satellite receicer and they are on backorder ever place he checked....I also heard that Directv will start changing to 1080p by the end of the year!...
Someone over at audioasylum took some of Alan Maher's CBF crystals and put the crystals inside the housing of a ac plug and ac IEC connectors. He said it improved audio and video a lot! http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/17/170427.htm
I took some Oatey thread seal tape from WalMart and tightly wraped it around my WireWorld 5.2 HDMI cable. I covered the whole cable with this stuff and it took about 2 rolls to do 2 meters. Now my TV picture looks more film-like with richer colors after doing this tweak to it.
I put two more coating of teflon tape on my WireWorld HDMI cable and this seems to be the sweet spot on this tweak. The HD picture looks very film-like with very vivid colors now! Three coatings teflon tape lowers the noise floor a lot! Next I'm going to do all my power cables.
