    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    Guys, can you please tell me where in the menu this crop option is? I have only see where you can set the zoom for the 16:9 and 4:3 sources. Perhaps I have to select 4:3 first? My plasma gets pretty bad ghosting from the sidebars on 4:3 letterboxed 16:9 Digital OTA transmissions, and this may...

    New Firmware Update - WHEN???

    Well, well, well. just got the new Voom Inner Circle email newsletter and guess what the ask the pros section is? OTA issues and updates. See it here To be honest, it is EXACTLY what I want. Not only will we be able to scan for all channels, we can remove from the guide listing the...

    New Firmware Update - WHEN???

    Good thing I don't like Basketball, or I would be really pissed. No way to take a deep breath when your only way of receiving a local broadcast is OTA digital. If VOOM doesn't want to give me a sat feed, then they damn well better let me choose which OTA station I want to watch. If my 2 year...

    New Firmware Update - WHEN???

    I love VOOM. I hate my local ABC afialiate. They had no digital signal last night, so no HD game. I know I get the Baltimore station perfectly since I used to watch it with my old OTA tuner. When in the world is the new FW coming that will let me map my own OTA channels? Thanks, E. J.

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Oh, forgot the important part. Got the .05.68 FW last night and now I LOVE VOOM! Everything works perfectly. Thanks for the help and patience. Is there anyway to remove OTA stations you don't want from the listing? I have favorites set, but would like to remove about 10 OTA channels I...

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Problem is, my set, and all the other digital sets I know of have to convert the signal to analog for any scaling and to go from interlaced to progressive. This a/d and d/a double conversion defeats the purpose of using the DVI connection and taking advantage of an all digital signal path...

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Thanks guys. I will turn it off before bed. I have 00.05.08 FW version on the box now. Hopefully it will get hit with the new FW tonight. E. J.

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Okay, I got all the locals and the guide is up and correct, as well as all the correct channels. Now, 1080i will pass through to the TV, but still no 720p. I am going to try component now. Thanks, E. J.

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Well crap. I just lost every channel besides HD News. Is this normal for a one hour old service? Guide goes from 100, 101, 200 - 277, 298, then 8 wrong OTA channels. I get the 0-x for all my OTA channels. So no OTA either. This plus no 720p DVI to my TV ain't great. I hope someone reading...

    Install just left, no 720p over DVI???

    Installs Inc. just left and I am trying the different output modes with the red button. Only three down from the top, or 480p, is getting passed to my samsung 1280x768 plasma over DVI. This is not great since my old OTA receiver was passing 720p over DVI fine. TV says 'Out Of Range' when I...

    Digital Audio Output active with SD Signal?

    Thanks Cameron. I am sure it originally had a plaster wall there, but the previous owners had made lots of changes, including a few additions. So I am sure the plaster walls were taken down at some point and sheetrock was put up in its place. Too bad they also didn't re-do the framing on that...
