    Why Is ESPNHD in 1080i instead of 720P?

    I saw somebody comment in a thread that Voom was showing ESPNHD in 1080i and nobody responded back to him. So I went and checked, and sure enough, it is 1080i. Why would Voom convert this channel to 1080i when the native resolution of ESPNHD is 720p? And before anybody jumps to conclusions...

    Help!!!! Stealth Has Me Going Nuts!!!!

    Actually HOA's, condo associations, and such can't force you to not have a terrestial antenna if it is mounted in an area that is considered "your area". The thing is, the external structures of most condos and townhouse type structures are considered communal property, so in areas such as the...

    PQ has improved it seems or did it?

    Just to be accurate, a question wasn't asked, an opinion of current PQ was stated and Wilt responded to it. I should know, I was the original poster. :) If anybody is interested, here is my post that Wilt responded to: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/VOOM/message/8770 Hammer

    My New Voom-First Impressions

    Two things...hook up S-video or Composite from Voom box to your display and report how SD looks over those cables. You may be surprised on how well Voom SD can look. Another thing is, I would like you to post your A/B comparison between Cable HD and Voom HD on the Voom Yahoo groups mailing...

    PQ has improved it seems or did it?

    I'm hoping it's not a Placebo effect, but I swear, the PQ on the 1080i channels seems to have come back up. The sharp, focused, 3-dimensional effect on my Plasma screen now seems to be back. I did catch a tiny bit of Pixelation on HBO for a tiny second but other than that, I really think...

    Poor SD quality: read this.

    Leaving your box on Auto still is no substitute for s-video or composite with SD. I also leave mine on Auto but any of the poor SD channels look tons better viewed over the composite for me. Hammer

    Poor SD quality: read this.

    As most of you probably have noticed Sd does not typically look good on Voom. As some may have tried, they discovered SD looks actually pretty decent when hooked up via composite or S-video. If you want to have a better understanding why that it can be a good thing to hook up SD via these two...

    Voom Pq

    Well for starters, SD looks much better on S-video or composite. For an expalantion as to why, read this thread at the AVS forums: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=320181 Ignore the fact that the author was focused on Plasma tuning and read the parts as to why SD...

    Audio Problems

    I don't have the audio drop-out problem. I have mine set-up as "Dolby Digital" and the compression set to "no-compression." When compression was set to "Hi-Fi (light)" I believe I could hear very tiny nuances occasionally. Btw, my box is connected to my Onkyo TX-DS777 Receiver with a Monster...

    How about a new Sub forum for programs

    Here is a suggestion of mine, how about creating a Voom sub forum for when people want to post about certain programs that they feel are worth mentioning. Example, Sean has a tendency to let people know about certain shows being on or gonna be on that he believes people may have an interested...

    If we don't complain they won't fix it!

    Just for you Gene, I posted in the yahoo group forum and set the record straight to the guy who claims "friends with comcast have crappy HD. and Voom is like totally awesome" :) I really think that some people refuse to pull the blinders from their eyes because they want something to great...

    Channel 999 and 8.15

    Is it just me or does anybody else think these two channels are just a major waste of bandwidth? I mean come on, does Voom actually think we are gonna sit and watch a channel devoted to attracting Voom customers? For god's sake, they already have us as customers. Ok, rant done! Hammer

    Voom not planning to use led lights on box....

    they could make the option just like the Scientific Atlanta cable boxes; channel number, clock, or a switching combination of both. Hammer

    Voom not planning to use led lights on box....

    You know what, that would be a great idea! I removed my SA3250 box from my equipment stand today and after it was gone, I missed not having the clock there. I never thought that the Voom box had this feature possible. This would definately be nice. And yes, I know, I could just buy a simple...

    OTA: Sporadic signal drops

    Ok, I have the stealth antenna with the amplifier and on many channels I get OTA signal quality in the 60-90's on most stations. The problem I'm having is sporadic signal drops where suddenly signal quality suddenly drops to single digits to low teens for a second or two. Does anybody know...
