    ****My rant against PQ on New Encoders****

    Most of my channels look worse than ever. It's like watching a VCD on a large screen. TNTHD looks as if it is being broadcast through coke bottles. I'm also having lip sync issues on many channels. If this continues, it won't matter what happens come April 1st.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Lip Sync Issue :confused: TNTHD looks great, in fact I have a better picture than ever before as well as several other channels that seem to be better before the harmonic encoder improvements. I have a bad lip sync problem on several channels, but none as bad as TNTHD. Too bothersome to even...

    STB freezes since last software download

    Ditto! Constant freezes and reboots are making me an unhappy camper along with big lapses in program guide time before the "big freeze"!

    On Screen Caller ID No Longer Works For Me...

    The first night I received the firmware upgrade the caller ID function worked great, but that was the only time. I cannot get it to work anymore. I've tried soft reboot and power reboot to no avail. After two frustrating calls to Voom and staying on hold for 30 minutes and then becoming...

    Native Mode??

    I have the new software. My TV doesn't do 720p so I prefer Native Mode which will up convert my TV to 1080i automatically and does a better job stretching SD channels than the voom receiver. My problem is everytime I enter the installation menu, the receiver always go to 720p and my picture...

    Wish Me Luck on My Second Try At A 30" Dish

    I live in south central TN. After countless tries to get a 30" dish because of complete signal loss during light drizzle for hours at a time, I had a 30" dish scheduled for installation last Saturday. After not receiving a confirmation call from the installer I called Voom back and the CSR...

    Please excuse me if this has been asked before...

    Are there any plans for the Cinema 10 channels to change from 720p to 1080i as my Pioneer TV upscales those channels to 1080i but I would rather keep the stb on native mode because my TV does a much better job with its own stretch modes than through the receiver. It just gets tiresome pushing...

    Has been raining here in southern TN for past 3 days. I don't have any hd channels and very few sd. I have called Voom on 3 different occasions and finally convinced them that this is unacceptable. I have a 30" dish scheduled for install this coming Sat. I am keeping my fingers crossed that...

    Signal Increase This Weekend??

    I spoke with a Voom CSR yesterday and told them how I lose my signal in southern TN with only light drizzle for hours at a time and how an installer has come out twice and says this is a voom problem. The CSR informed me that Voom will be increasing their signal strength this coming weekend and...

    Lockups with the new software version

    Problems Here Also! Since the push, I have constant lockups with two different receivers and it seems to be while surfing or checking out the program guide. It becomes very frustrating to have to reboot only to lose info and then have it return and lockup again.
