a lot of people will think it looks soft. The nhl on espnhd. But HD has a dramatic affect on hockey. MUCH better than SD.

I'll try to watch in both E* and V* to see any differences. I guess we have to say that ESPN HD is not the greatest looking sports in HD.

yes definately not as good as HDnet hockey but since I wont watch SD hockey anymore this is great. lmao
PQ is perfect for espnhd, i dont think you will see a difference.

i think it looks very good, enjoying this game alot. Comparison between dish 6000 through component and voom through dvi, i think the slight edge goes to VOOM. anybody else getting black scrren every couple of minutes, dont know if it happens on dish also?

Already a goal...I missed that. Yes. Game is not as good as HDnet but it is what you come to expect for ESPN HD. Another goal... The black screens I have not seen yet but I was not watching continuously. I have been flipping through three channels...

the black screens seemed to stop. Great game, hope toronto comes back and makes a game of it.

Why would they choose to show the "replays" in SD instead of HD. Don't these guys have the ability to do this. In an HD presentation, I expect replays to be HD.

O the excuse ive heard is that "its an HD and SD broadcast." "not enough HD cams". or "it adds character" blah blah all kinds of bologna. Hear those excuses from all the networks. But we wait 2 or 3 days for an hd event on espnhd and they use sd cams in it?

Still trying to get ch301 to tune - all the other ESPN's ok - but the HD for hockey is still getting no signal, try later, although system setting signal strenth, quality are normal for my setup. Called in to get an action report started, no others reported by the CSR i talked with. Anyone else similiar problem? i'm gonna unplug reboot to see if it does anything. Any other suggestion fixes? tyvm

Whoa... the baseball game looks pretty damn good! And I can see no difference between ESPNHD on D*, and ESPNHD on VOOM! Both nice lookin' PQ!!! :D Now if they could just fix those micro stutters! ;)

The game looked great to me!!! I see that the goalcam replays are SD, probably because they don't have any tiny HD "spy cams" that they plant in tight places.

It looks as it should from espnhd.

Is anyone getting the black screen? I have been getting it like twice in the 2 minutes. It is a quick black screen that pops up and then it is gone like a blink...

do you use components or DVI?

It seems the black screen is not limited to espn only, i just witnessed it on hbo and cinemax. Voom might be working on something. Plus, spiderman on cinemax west had really bad pixelation

Wilt is loading up more channels for us I bet :)

DVI --- today has been the day when I have seen them the most...

I get those from time to time with DVI too. That is why I use components now. Sometimes you won't see the black screen all day, and other times, you will notice it every few minutes. And it varies on different channels too! It puzzles me?

the west coast feeds for all the premiums have so much pixelation going on with fast movements. If I don't catch it on the east channel I skip it. They should fix it, or get rid of the west feeds!

I'm having trouble with my DVI input as well-the game looks better thru DVI than component but the screen is flashing purple streaks every few seconds and will go black at times-seems its doing it on every channel-component pq doesn't look good but atleast i don't have the purple streaks-I'm new here and new to voom-has anyone had any similiar problems?

I have been watching the game and have seen the occational black screen as well.
Other then that (and the fact the Sox are losing) it looks good.

I guess this "black screen" is not only seeing on DVI connections but on component connections as well.

i Haven't had any problems at all with "black" screens w the component connection-

I have my Mitsubishi hooked up to Component and also DVI. I saw those quick blinks of black several times as I watched on each one. Never saw them like that until today either.
