    general Home theater question.

    Remote... I love my Theater Master Mx-500. It's cheap (about $100), it has loads of memory (for "learning", which is what I prefer), and has cloning capabilities (to make multiple remotes). To me, touchscreens are overrated - they get messy (when eating popcorn), and are hard to surf with...

    Gray bars gone?

    Never saw it... I never saw gray bars while watching SD. Only black... I have my resolution set to 720p. (fortunately for me, my Sony LCD has no problems with burn in - so gray bars aren't even an option on my TV). If you saw gray bars, might it have been on a specific channel? I know...

    FOX Local HD: Crappy cameras???

    Anyone else watch the All Star game on Fox in HD? I'm in detroit, and the HD cameras looked anything but HD. In fact, I would swear they just took a regular SD camera, changed the aspect to 16:9, then just upconverted. I was wondering if everyone else saw the same thing (meaning it was the...

    Video Signal Issues: "Native" resolution

    Correct... You are correct Sean. This only happend in the conversion between 480 and HD. If I leave my settings on 720p (native for my tv), then I never see this issue... Quirks, quirks, and more quirks... I can live without this one. If only they can make a usable Guide, I would use...

    $499 or $0

    Waiting for PVR I leased, figuring I'd do a purchase when the PVR unit comes out. I know, they "say" they will "buy back" standard receivers or offer some form of discount, but as my lawyer says, if it ain't in writing, it don't mean squat. PVR will be out later this year, so my...

    Video Signal Issues: "Native" resolution

    Picture... No, I don't watch "The View"... but you wanted a picture, so here it is. It doesn't happen every time. It took about 4 switches back and forth between SD and HD before it happened. Interesting to note that the show is in high-def, but the guide being displayed is in SD. So, it's...

    Does Tivo work with Your Voom? Yes!

    Replay... Called replay the other day. Basically, they don't have guide support, so the device will only work like a standard VCR (you can click on record, stop, or manually set up a program). I went to their customer service section on the website and officially asked for VOOM guide...

    Video Signal Issues: "Native" resolution

    Anyone else using the "native resolution" output feature on Voom? (voom sends video in native resolution, so 1080i comes 1080i, but 480i comes 480i without upconverting) When I use this, it works great most of the time. However, sometimes when I switch from a 480 program to a 1080, the video...

    Voom STB questions

    compression... My guess is that "compression" is like the compressors used in the music business. These basically take a sound wave and in effect "average" it out so that lower audio signals and higher audio signals match. This is what radio stations use since all CD's are recorded at...

    SD Channel quality

    Slowness explained... I would describe it this way: Going up and down through the current page of the guide is ok. When I get to the end, and it "pages", there is a bit of a lag. When I select a channel from the guide (move from one channel to another), there is a bit of a lag before the...

    Voom STB questions

    Unfortunately, it doesn't... Tried that on several channels all night... Also tried rebooting the receiver. Nothing worked. When I switched over to D*, the same movie was syncing fine...

    SD Channel quality

    SD Voom Versus D* I have D* and Voom. Comparing the two last night, the Voom SD looked better (a bit more crisp on the color spectrum, and a little less soft). However, from time to time I noticed more artifacts in the Voom SD as opposed to D*. However, I am using DVI on the Voom, but...

    Voom STB questions

    VOOM Audio out of sync? I just wanted to start a quick thread to see if anyone else was experiencing the following audio problem. I just got my box installed yesterday. Last night while watching Showtime Hd, I noticed that the audio is out of sync with the video. Some channels were ok, but...

    Landline Required for VOOM??

    VOOM over Vonage (VOIP) Installed VOOM yesterday using Vonage's VOIP service. No issues. Everything worked fine... I used the "fax" portion of the Vonage server (with the business service, you get 2 lines - one for voice, and one for voice/fax). /joe
