YES! I have component cables from the monitor to the 990 and then component from the DVR to the 990.Got every thing programed and am up and running!

The first thing I noticed,my speakers sounded much more open,tweaked it some and now have deep wide sound stage.

Going to watch a movie tonight.

Glad to hear that you got the 990 squared away!

This is your problem - you have no video connection between the 990 and the TV. As a result, there is no way for the 990's setup menu to be displayed on the TV. You need to run at least a composite or s-video cable from the 990's monitor output to the TV and use that input while setting the 990 up.

The 990's menu is available over component (it is mine anyway). It shows up over whatever is playing (i.e. DVD, TV, etc.).

Yes, the 990's menu is available on all three analog video monitor outputs. The problem was that pegasus had initially not connected any of those analog video monitor outputs - just a component video connection directly from the satellite to the TV. Once he connected the 990's component monitor output to the TV, he was fine.
