    To SET 1080i in NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT the SD Stretch...

    OK I took the time to really work with this (I should have read more carefully that you need to use the colored buttons twice--once before and once after--setting the stb to native or "all bars amber"). I don't really see much difference choosing 1080i or 720p with the colored buttons using...

    Monday Night Football Audio--Not DD 5.1? Watching MNF right now through my VOOM stb and my receiver is only decoding Dolby digital 2.0 on both 6.1 and 25.1... I seem to recall all the games being in 5.1 last season. What gives? Do I have an equipment or setup problem here? I'm using...

    To SET 1080i in NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT the SD Stretch...

    When I tried that, I don't seem to get any DVI output. Component seems OK. Thoughts? Todd

    To SET 1080i in NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT the SD Stretch...

    The confusion to me is the interaction between what you choose in the installer menu and the red button. There's no "native" option in the installer menu; you must choose among 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i. The red button seems to cycle between these four options (each amber light bar from the...

    To SET 1080i in NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT the SD Stretch...

    This issue is confusing the heck out of me. I tried native (all amber lights on) and my DVI picture was scaled-down on SD channels. I'm only having luck with the 720P "green button" setting. Is there a concisely-written explanation of all this somewhere, or is this info sacred to...

    To SET 1080i in NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT the SD Stretch...

    This is just the topic I wanted to address in a new thread today. I need advice... I have an InFocus ScreenPlay 7200 projector which is native 720P. It has a pretty good scaler (Faroudja FLI2300). Should I set the VOOM box to show all amber lights using the red button and let the projector...

    Evaluation: Component vs. DVI

    Doesn't the setting in the VOOM stb menu over-ride the 4:3 "stretching" regardless of the output setting? Barthk2, I'm going to try setting the box to "native" and see if I see any difference (let the scaler in the fpj to all the work). I'll report back right here. Thanks for your input...

    Evaluation: Component vs. DVI

    I use VOOM with in InFocus ScreenPlay 7200 projector which supports both input formats, making comparison convenient. I initially felt component was better, but I've changed my mind after careful evaluation. Here's why: The biggest problem with component seems to be crushed blacks on my...

    Everything's A-OK!

    I use VOOM with a 120" diagonal screen and an InFocus SP7200 projector. The picture quality is not an issue for me. Even SD channels like FOX News look much better than D* did. Todd/Indianapolis

    Update: I'm in VOOM HEAVEN here... No dropouts, no billing problems, NONE of the horror stories related here. What a great move--I'm so glad I went VOOM and sure hope they make it! Todd/Indianapolis

    Just got VOOM, WOW!... couple of issues...

    I am very happy so far. Had initial DVI output problem on all non-HD, but now with new software all is well. I see pixelaton when changing some channels--not a big deal. SD looks really good compared to DirecTV. Oddly enough, component looks a tad sharper than DVI to me... is this an...

    Done... I had the chimney right in the way for the OTA, so we stuck with the Silver Sensor in the attic. I got 12 locals w/ch59 a bit spotty. No ch4 or ch63, among a few others. Is this reasonable? Also, SD feeds were a mess on my 720p projector with DVI (InFocus 7200) until we updated to...

    OK it's a guy named "Steve" from Installs, Inc. I talked to him today--sounded very heads-up--told him what I wanted to do and he advised to go to Skywalker and get the mast (I did...). I'll be on the roof at daybreak laying the ground work to make things go easy and fast. I'll advise how it...

    Thanks... I figured that bolt would have to go. V* seems to have set up Installs, Inc. to do the work. Sure wish I could just do it myself. I already have cable run for all three antennas and I'm pretty certain the LOS is good. I do pretty well with a D* HD200 and a Silver Sensor up on a...

    Quick ? for Indy Voomers I want to do two dishes (D* and V*) on one mast. The D* triple-LNB dish has to be at the top of the mast because the mast would hit the tilt plate hardware. Do any of you know if a central-Indiana V* dish's mounting hardware would clear a mast if it were not at the...
