I have to respectfully disagree. I have had great success with my setup and have not found any reference on the AVS forum stating that Macintosh is not a valid solution. Can you give me the specific link in the AVS forum where I can find this discusssion? I am always looking for information to...

I'm recording HD from the OTA channels via the following: Macintosh computer running VirtualDVHS software, connected to my Mitsubishi WS55613 via firewire. The programs are captured to an attached external firewire hardrive and I've been recording all of the shows of the new season. Not...

There doesn't seem to be a way to record from the Voom box. But I have been able to record the over the air HD programming. Follow the link below to get the details, but in essence you need a free program that works with macintosh computers and a firewire connection to your tv (I have a...

I have just been able to record OTA HD content to my computer (apple G4 Powerbook) and play the content back on my Mitsubishi TV. Below is the link for the program(s) you will need if you have an Apple machine...

If you hardly ever watch Voom why are you so critical of them?

I try to skip vurbano's posting because he seems to revel in his negativity. I appreciate constructive criticism, but he seems to forget the constructive part. Voom is not going anywhere and will only get better. I'm willing to bet money on that.

I live in South Jersey and cannot get the NBC feed via the off air antenna. This and PBS are the only OTA channels that I'm missing I would hope that Voom keeps this channel for regular NBC programming after the end of the Olympics.

Do you ever say anything positive?

Sorry. I meant to say Family Basic for $11/month. This gives me all of my local channels and spanish channels (a total of 21 channels). Basic cable is also around $25/month so don't feel like you're being cheated. Sorry for causing the confusion.

I have this arrangement but I have the Va Va Voom package. When I placed my order with Cablevision I told them that I had just installed Voom and would like to downgrade my cable service to basic cable and they didn't question my decision. I think Cablevision understands that there will be...

I lost TNT HD here in South Amboy, NJ

Picture Washed Out I have recently (past 2 days) noticed that the picture quality of the HD channels has decreased substantially. The colors are not as vibrant and the picture in general seems washed out. Has anyone else been experiencing this and will it be fixed in the upcoming software...

I'm seeing/hearing the same thing. I hope this doesn't happen later on at the basketball game.

johnfaas I also live by the Jersey Shore and I'm able to get NBC, Fox & ABC. I'm having trouble with CBS but the installer will be coming out next Saturday to install and upgraded over the air antenna and remove the diplexor (this has been know to cause issues with other users). I'll let...

I noticed this happening this morning. Hopefully it'll be fixed by the time I get home tonight.

Firewire Coming It seems firewire is coming, see below: In the Spring 2004 issue of HDTV Etc. on page 42, it states the following: "... The system currently uses the Motorola DSR550 HD-STBs. By the third quarter of 2004, there will be a new STB that will have PVR Networking Server...

In the Spring 2004 issue of HDTV Etc. on page 42, it states the following: "... The system currently uses the Motorola DSR550 HD-STBs. By the third quarter of 2004, there will be a new STB that will have PVR Networking Server functionality (the PVR 580). "The plan is to include IEEE 1394...

Voom is planning on making this service available but has not activated it yet.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I bought an extended 5 year warranty so it was covered.

Is this the April issue with Uma Thurman on the cover?

Overscanning I had a similar issue with my Mitsubishi TV. It turns out that my TV was overscanning the image and cropping off the top portion of the score of Worldsport channel. I had a technician come out to fix this problem. Apparently, there is a way to get to a service menu on all tv's...

I'm Not Going Anywhere Now that I know for sure that Voom is fully aware of the issues we've been noticing the last couple of weeks, I'm certain that they will be fixed as soon as possible. I agree with Scott you need to first try to find the cause of the problem before a timely solution can...

Picture Quality For those who voted that their picture quality is the same or better, can you give us some specifics (signal strength, connection type, software version, etc) so that the rest of us who are experiencing can compare our settings and see if the problem may lie elsewhere. Thanks,

Sean, Thanks for your reply. I looked at above posting and it only stated that someone at Voom stated in another forum that they are aware of our picture quality issues. Is there anyone you can contact at voom to better understand what specific steps they are taking to fix this problem as...

I wouldn't mind paying the higher price if they guarantee the picture quality. I've had voom for 3 weeks and got used to the great clarity of the images and vibrant colors. Over the last couple of days, the picture quality has decreased substantially and it has lost the wow effect that I got...
