    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    I have a question... Does the Voom box amplify the antenna signal through the coaxial output.. If so, what do you set it to.. I read this somewhere but, I haven't been able to clarify it.. Thanks, Brent

    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    I've read that the ribbon cable has fallen off the OTA tuner.. I'd open it and check the ribbon cable..

    Buy or Rent your HD DVD movies?

    I'm not a movie collector so I signed up for Netflix after getting my A2... I have a 3 day turn around which isn't bad.. Netflix should give you the option not to have your DVD's sent from another location.. Rather just skip to the next available movie on your list.. To me it's more...

    Equipment Rack and Setup

    How goes the search, Fred.. Have you found many processors with audio.. And you probably already know this but, just thought I'd mention it.. If find everything you want in a processor but, it's DVI output you can use a DVI to HDMI cable and run an audio cable..

    Equipment Rack and Setup

    Why don't you try an inexpensive A/V switch to get you by until you decide what you really wanna do.. Some are auto sensing, taboot.. I saw some on eBay today damn cheap, like under $20 shipped.. I think Radio Shack carries them.. This way you're not jumping into anything and can worry...

    Equipment Rack and Setup

    Fred, Different brands / models have all kinds of inputs / outputs scenarios, some with audio and some without.. I only have 3 maybe 4 units I'll be inputing into my Centerstage CS-2 so audio wasn't a big problem for me.. I bought the Centerstage CS-2 mostly because of the Time Base...

    Equipment Rack and Setup

    SWEET... I'd look into a video processor / scaler for switching different types of video inputs.. I have a Centerstage CS-2 video processor but, it's not hooked up yet.. Hopefully, I'll be able to try it out tomorrow.. It has these inputs.. 2 component 2 composite 1 DVI 1...

    HDTV and Standard Definition Quality

    SWEET, glad you got it straightened out.. "I haven't tried the DVD calibration yet, but their advice is really easy to understand and yields good results." I have the AVIA calibration DVD you could borrow if you decide to go that route..

    HDTV and Standard Definition Quality

    Bummer, Fred... Have you tried playing a DVD through component, if so how'd it look.. And I'm surprised the SD digital channels didn't look great.. How about the analog channels.. All my analog and digital channels come in great on my Emerson.. Well, after getting my antennas...

    Is HD TV really needed?

    I agree, totally... I bought my Emerson LCD for a great price in June and I'll never go back to a SD TV.. After getting my antennas straightened out digital and HD channels are excellent.. If all you need is a bigger SD TV just find a used $50-$75 one and start saving for a real TV, you...
