    No I just did 56 point calibration myself and I also used DVE. for 1600 $TV , I can't justify to pay 300$ more for calibaration .Hopefully I will get plasma or a better display technology in 2-3 yrs. :smug

    VOOM STB Version 00.05.68: Features/Bugs/Requests

    Exactly I noticed the same bug too , but good thing it wont lock up STB, u dont need to reboot. Just go to next channel and comeback then the channel works fine. It is a bit annoying but definitely better than STB locking up :)

    zooming 4:3 to fill 16:9 screen

    I set my STB to auto ( all lights lit using red button), now I can adjust the theater wide stretch of toshiba when i watch SD, even when my input is DVI, STB automatically switches to 480, 720 and 1080 format very well and I use toshiba wide format which is very good for SD channels

    what do you do if the box locks up?

    First 2 days I had like 4-5 lockups, then I have not had one also. But I have been very carefull. I dont flip the channels that many times , I just browse the program guide using up down buttons and select the channel through that.

    zooming 4:3 to fill 16:9 screen

    U can use the stretch mode for 4:3 SD transmission in voom settings, u will get full screen in 16:9 TV screens and it definitetly prevents burn in. But u may not like the picture as voom stretch mode is not that great
  16. D

    zooming 4:3 to fill 16:9 screen

    You can stretch the SD channels through the settings as mentioned above but the stretch format is not great like the Toshiba RPTV, the one I have, so I still havent tried S-video out for only SD transmission, One may be able to use stretch modes of the TV

    How are these readings?

    Same here I have been checking signal strength in the mornings and it used to be 30s and 40s, this morning it was 56 and 60 so I guess they must have done something to fix the probem

    West Coast VOOM Issues

    I am in neighbouring county san bernardino, but I am at an altitude of 3500Ft . I am getting 60 signal strength in the afternoon and night times, but morning it drops to high 30s to 40s. But so far I am pretty happy with HD transmission. I hate the remote and receiver though ,very buggy.

    To DVI or not DVI that is the question........

    Last night I compared to DVI and component video inputs, DVI picture quality by far much better softer and smoother, colors are a little dull but the quality is so much better. I would stick with DVI for now.
