How do you calibrate a HDTV connected to a Blu-Ray player?

When I use a calibration DVD, obviously I am in DVD mode on my TV. How do I calibrate the Satellite Television setting? Should the settings (ie brightness, color, contrast, white balance, etc) theoretically be the same regardless of whether it is a 1080p Blu-Ray picture or a 1080i/720p television picture? Thanks!

No. Calibration compensates for different signal strengths and electronics among different inputs. Your BluRay player has different signal strengths than your Sat receiver or xbox.

Try hooking up your DVD player in place of the Sat box and calibrate the input and get away from the factory settings.

Then attach the sat receiver. While you wont have the fixed test-patterns, having done the calibration with the DVD should give you an eye of what to look for and you fine tune the levels for the Sat receiver.
