    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I should also mention that Dish ESPN HD also had just a bit of the above mentioned motion floor artifact. Slight softening and dirty film. Like a window that needs cleaning. My viewing distance from the 34XBR960 is 6 feet. daveoo

    Two minutes ago VOOM ESPN HD looking pretty good. Motion over the floor softens the floor and imparts a dirty/grainy look. No pixel breakup or streaks. XBR960 with component conn and DVE calibration. daveoo

    My post from yesterday on ESPN HD VOOM with streaking was viewed on XBR 960. Has nice resolution. The streaks were like taking a pencil and moving back and forth horizontally and creating a shading effect. Seen on floor with motion and some on other shots. daveoo

    Now on ESPN HD at this moment I can see streaking of the floor with motion on VOOM that Dish doesn't have. Horizontal and grey. daveoo

    I just did another Dish/VOOM comparison on ESPN HD at 14:00. Very close and the same as three days ago. Correction: The Lumi Sharpness is fixed on the VOOM 1080i input. WOW did I see some color blocking on Rave and Ultra last midnight. Gone in AM. This was on my third rcvr that...

    Audio Irregularities with B&K Receiver

    Thanks for the advise. Got off my but. Couldn't find exactly what you suggested, but I re-did the settings for processing and got reliable sound for now. The unit is getting rusty and forgets some settings when powered off. daveoo

    Audio Irregularities with B&K Receiver

    With VOOM rcrv hooked optically into my B&K 307 I get unpredictable audio. This is not dropouts. I may have audio just fine then switch channels on VOOM and lose all audio. A few more flips of the channels brings back the audio. Having to flip, up or down, thru 2-10 channels before audio...

    Backrub over. Watched VOOM HDs. No breakup or pixels. Rave, Ultra, Lab, Worldsport and Rush. On World Sport soccer I noticed that the distant field has some softening on motion, but I have to watch specifically for the artifact. daveoo

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Since my last post I started watching VOOM HDs and saw some breakup/pixels (B/P) on close motion WorldSport, motion Equator and motion on Rush. Then I went to the premiums and saw none of the problems. I returned 10 min ago to the VOOM HDs and could find no B/Ps for about 10 min. The B/Ps...

    Hi; When my wife finishes her meal I will go down and check a few more channels. The ones I can confirm are Rave, Ultra and Monsters about 50 min ago. On another note: I did a comparison btn VOOM and Dish this Wed nite watching ESPN HD basketball. NEC 110 LC on 84 inch wide Stewart...

    I think VOOM should do a VOOM HD exclusive on the events of this battle. I would watch. Daveoo

    This is more compelling than VOOM in the short term for me. I will plug join the Pub again. A few bucks helps keep this forum going. Daveoo
