    Comparison Tool

    Do you not get the header row at the top that lists the provider and package? I have only tested with Firefox, so perhaps your browser is not displaying it.

    Comparison Tool

    That's why I'm trying to get a feel for the usefulness of such a tool. Being database based makes updates a bit easier, but I was also going to rely on user input to notify me of updates. I do also have a host of other features that I would like to build into this. For example, I'd also...

    Comparison Tool

    That's the goal is cross provider comparison. For example you can go in right now and compare high def packages between DirecTV, Dish Network, U-verse and Time Warner.

    Comparison Tool

    Is anyone interested in a service comparison tool like this: Channel Comparitron Just something I've been working on in some spare time and wondering if its worth pursuing.

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    Does this deal include the premium channels like HBO and Showtime? I thought you couldn't get the HD versions of those channels without the SD versions because of the way they negotiated their tiers.

    $60,000 Satellite Dish on Ebay

    That's weird to see stuff like that on ebay. I work for the company that built that antenna. Oh, and it's not Vertek, it's Vertex. (Incidentally, Voom also buys our 7200 controllers and digital tracking receivers) :yes

    Questions About Voom, Tivo and DVR's

    So what about the aspect ratios? Obviously you'd have to come out of the Voom STB with S-Video into the Tivo, but can you record HD material to the Tivo in letterbox format and then stretch it to 16x9? I.e., can it work like a non-anamorphic DVD? Is it interlaced or progressive scan?

    Washed out colors

    No it's not channel specific. It's every channel. Even the Voom menu, which is why I worked so hard to rule out my TV.

    Washed out colors

    The other night I was watching the election results and suddenly the colors on the screen changed. They became what I can only describe as really pale and washed out. The yellows were all dull, the blues looked almost green. I checked my other video sources and they were fine, plus my TV's...

    NBC Annoucement (VOOM new news on CH 593 or 594)

    Sounds to me like OTA NBC will not be receiving full coverage of the Olympics. It implies, to me at least, that cable broadcasts will be getting full coverage. ... not too sure though.

    Should Voom get rid of or replace the following channels?

    Moov has had some actual interesting things on lately instead of just the fractal graphics and computer generated images. They've been showing fish tanks, which I could watch for hours, very abstract footage and effects with architecture, etc. I had it on today just for visual effect while...

    Does anyone at Voom monitor picture quality?

    From what I understand, they monitor that stuff from their control room.

    Funny thing Directv told me about Voom

    Couldn't you hook the Voom receiver up to a SD TV and just hit the red button to force it down into 480i? Hi def in 480i still looks pretty darn smooth if you ask me. Try it out sometime. :cool:

    Great Article on New 5th generation OTA tuners

    Couldn't this be accomplished by just changing out the 8VSB module?
