    It would seem that VOOM didn't take into account how many clients could not receive OTA via antenna when they planned their business model. The customer service rep and her supervisor suggested that I keep a basic cable package for my local channels instead of cancelling VOOM. Unfortunately...

    Update Bye Bye VOOM Today the installer from Installs,Inc. arrived as scheduled and on time. In his van he had a Radio Shack antenna rated for 90 miles and a large mounting pole. Unfortunately his best efforts were unable to bring in my local channels. Antennaweb.org indicated I could get 22...

    Volume Variation

    I use the digital audio out from the Voom box into my surround receiver and experience a wide difference in the volume levels when changing channels. It is very annoying and jarring. Is there a way to solve this problem other than muting when changing?

    Best setting with Samsung DLP

    I was thinking the same dmm. Thought I was getting lost on all this. Seems that i will just have to fiddle with the settings and see what works as nobody had a definitive answer.

    Best setting with Samsung DLP

    Would the Voom box outputting at native be an even better choice? I am not really clear on this concept.

    Question about DLPs

    I have the Samsung 50" DLP and the bulb is rated for 8000 hours. The smaller set is the same. The 60" is rated for 6000 hours. As to rainbows.... Most people don't see them. The newest Samsung models with the 7 segment color wheel are supposed to be less susceptible to the rainbow effect...

    Best setting with Samsung DLP

    I'm using DVI cable. Did you choose 1080i because the tv does a better job of conversion?

    Best setting with Samsung DLP

    What setting on the VOOM box should I use for output with my Samsung DLP? The tv is 720p native. Should I choose 720p, 1080i, or native out from VOOM? Should I change it depending on what I am watching?

    I see no need to bother Wilt with this. I am getting an upgraded antenna. My problem is the inefficiency. A waste of time and money for both parties. I did my research ahead of installation and read about the diplexer problem and signal decrease with it installed. I checked antenna web...
