    622 - no pic, no sound sometimes

    I'm having the same problems with the 622 in Atlanta. The receiver is on a UPS so the power never goes down. I have tried rebooting by pressing and holding the power button as well as unplugging, waiting and replugging but the problem never changes. I wonder if this is an issue with the software.

    942 Playback Problems

    Hi All, I have a 942 which I have had since early May (I got it after Voom died). I have had zero issues with it until recently. Over the weekend I had several movies recorded off of the HBO and Showtime Free Preview in HD. Two of the movies would not play back due to "Error 07". There is...

    Dish to offer Multi Camera Football

    The OTA TBS is digital and they are currently broadcasting only in the main channel (none of the subchannels are being used.) So far the only thing that has been HD has been the Braves games and only when they are at home at Turner Field. When the broadcast the games I must admit that it is the...

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

    Totally agree about the frequency of the audio dropouts. There used to be maybe one an hour, if not less but now you can count on 4+. Voom needs to get the audio right, especially on this channel.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Same thing here, lots of blocks that look like they are slower at catching up with the current image.

    The End of VOOM?

    I agree. Whenever I would tell someone that I had Voom they would say something to the effect of "Isn't that only HD, no normal cable channels?"

    The End of VOOM?

    Right now on Rave HD, my favorite channel, Robbie Williams is singing Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way"....I think I'll go sit in the corner and cry now. I will miss Voom so much.

    Discoveryhd breaking up

    I saw it too vurbano. I was watching BIG and it would drop the audio, pixelate the image and go into the "No Signal on channel 601" screen all throughout the hour I was trying to watch. The other channels seemed fine.

    Blown Modem - Worth the Pain of a Service Call?

    Both; the CID does not work and the Modem Setup and Test (the 988 menu from the installer menu) fails. I have tried different phone cables and I know that the jack that it is connected to works.

    Blown Modem - Worth the Pain of a Service Call?

    The modem in my STB appears to be fried. The new release of the 2.30 software renewed my interest in trying to get the CallerID to work. It had not worked in the past and I had not really ever pursued it but it seems that the modem has not been working since sometime in June when we had...

    VOOM in MicroCenter!

    I went to Micro Center today to get some ink for my printer and found myself lured to the HDTVs/Monitors. To my surprise I saw the HDN bug at the bottom of the screens. The Micro Center in Duluth, GA has a Voom receiver and is demoing its monitors with HDN. I asked the sales guy who jumped on me...

    HD Transfer of the Wizard of Oz on TBS OTA

    HD Transfer of the Wizard of Oz on TBS OTA? I live in the Atlanta area and get TBS via OTA. When the Braves are in town they do an HD broadcast of the game. I can get the SD downconvert on TBS via the Voom satellite as well. Anyway, TBS is playing The Wizard of Oz now and the OTA that I am...

    Atlanta Area Voomer

    I'm in Lawrenceville and did an OTA scan this weekend and still no PBS. I took a look at GPTV 8 and WPBA 30 and neither have anything on their websites about going digital. www.gpb.org has nothing about digital either.

    need component video switch

    To my knowledge there are no component true HD capture cards. It is not possible unless you go from component to SDI and then use an SDI capture card which are tons of money. Please post some more details about your PC DRV, I'm interested to see what your plan is.

    VOOM Commercial (shown in HD) on DiscoveryHD

    I too saw the commercial on DHDT but the audio was out of whack. For the majority of the commercial the voiceover was coming from the REAR channels. Toward the end of the commercial the voiceover returned to the front center channel. I checked all of my settings and everything was normal. Has...

    DVR pushed back

    I have. I managed to short out the power bar that all my HT equipment was plugged into. It blew the fuses in my receiver and the Voom STB. I did not want to wait around for a tech to come out when I knew it was a simple fuse so I opened it up and threw a new one in. I'm renting the equipment...

    Voom in Atlanta - WSB OTA Problems?

    Ah, it's good to know it's not just me. I have not checked to see if WSB is back up today yet, I will have to wait until after work.

    Voom in Atlanta - WSB OTA Problems?

    To anyone who is in the Atlanta area, are you receiving WSB at all? My receiver locked up today and I did a reset and WSB did not work. I did a OTA channel scan and got all of the other channels that I was able to pick up before the reset. WSB (on digital 31) was totally skipped. I guess my...

    Rave-HD: Genesis Invisible Touch - Live at Wembley Stadium 1987 10/22

    I liked it even better the second time. This kind of content makes Voom worth every penny. Now if we only had a dvr to record it to...

    Rave-HD: Genesis Invisible Touch - Live at Wembley Stadium 1987 10/22

    I caught the last 35min or so. Sounded great. I hope they play it again soon, I'd like to catch the beginning. I'm agreed that the picture was soft and think that I saw some interlacing on some of the fast cuts. Maybe it was just my imagination, but if you have ever played a DVD or an interlaced...

    Rave-HD: Genesis Invisible Touch - Live at Wembley Stadium 1987 10/22

    Ha, it's pretty far away from Genesis, but in the meantime I'm watching opera on DHDT. http://dhd.discovery.com/schedule/episode.jsp?episode=0&cpi=79667&gid=0&channel=DHD I feel all cultured. :D
