    New software update last night---anyone else?

    I can't believe that this hasn't been mentioned here yet, and I know I can't be the only subscriber that got it last night, but I have a new software version (watched it download, interesting). Here are my version numbers: Software: V00.01.20 HAL: 00.06.20 Middleware: 00.01.39...

    OK, boys and girls, here (isn't) the software news we have all been waiting for

    I have to presume that no one that follows this forum actually got the update over the weekend since no one has said so----

    OK, boys and girls, here (isn't) the software news we have all been waiting for

    Here is the message I sent to Voom on Friday: Customer - 07/09/2004 06:24 PM that I am not happy about the lack of channel scanning with my Voom service--- I know for a fact that all new customers that are being installed are getting boxes that do have OTA channel scanning capability--...

    Just got voom installed!! Brand new software??

    SO WTF? Has Wilt and Sean and all the rest that are supposed to be "in the know" been pulling everyone's leg about this new software update for the "old" boxes?

    Its July 1, 2004 and no software.

    At this point, I really don't care what it's called, just give it to me-

    Its July 1, 2004 and no software.

    A little off the subject of this mindless bickering, but what, exactly, is the difference between software and firmware?

    New Firmware Update - WHEN???

    I think that that was said by one of the local resident soothsayers looking into a crystal ball----

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    Didn't realize they upconverted---so that explains it. I sure hope this software update addresses this, but from I've read here, it doesn't :(

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    Yes, but we're not talking about an HD picture---we're talking about a SD picture OTA--- Again, why would there be side bars on a SD set?

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    I have 2 stb's----one connected to a 16:9 HDTV and the other connected to a 4:3 SDTV--- On my OTA channels some broadcast in stretched mode (non-high def programming) and some not. Of course, the HDTV shows black/gray bars on either side of the screen when receiving broadcasts in...

    Diplexor must be installed because of powered antenna? (Depends on antenna model)

    You guys that are having trouble getting maybe one station to come in when you know that the broadcast antennas are located on/in the same location/mountaintop/whatever should tune to the station that's not coming in and check for signal strength in the system settings menu. Sometimes a strong...

    Verbano: How can you be so quick to tell this person that it's his set? There have been lots of folks reporting back that logos on several different channels have been "off screen" as would be happening with an overscan problem. But, these reports have come from people with several...

    Good luck, Voomers! (If you don't reboot daily)

    I have 2 VOOM boxes, one is connected to my HD set, the other to a SD set. The SD set box has only locked up once in about 5 weeks---and it did so "on it's own". Turned on the TV (the box was on already) and it was locked up--stuck on one channel with no key response. The HD set box...

    Overscan on HDNews? Wilt?

    Yes, the logo position is better in the vertical, but still slightly offscreen in the horizontal------- A small part of the "N" is still offscreen---

    HDN Logo moving around

    Maybe this is VOOM doing the new software testing for the "video output" adjustment in system settings?

    Need aspect ratio help

    Bart: There are some problems already mentioned in another thread about the HDN logo only being half there----it's not your set, it's also happening to lots of others, too, including myself. This particular problem is not your aspect ratio setting-----

    HDN adjusted for overscan?

    Maybe VOOM is working on the "video settings" portion in "system settings" of the new software update?
