Awesome Link! I also found that by activating "movie" mode, it seems to reduce or disable the SVM/VSM.

That's what I meant, my mistake. However, the actual form factor of the connector is HDMI, yet it handles DVI and HDMI signaling. Anyone know the service menu codes for newer Samsung sets?

New Question: How can VSM be disabled on the Samsung sets? Anyone know the specific circuitry to disable or how to identify it?

Thanks!!!!

I just purchased an additional HDTV. It is a new samsung RPTV that has a DVI-I port that is shared with HDMI. Where can I find a cable that has one end as DVI-I and the other as HDMI?

I believe Dish is using VBR (or self-adjusting CBR that has normal and maximum allowable bandwidth usage) on the SD content. By lumping in the SD channels with the HD content and guessing 2-3Mbps, I'm not sure the calculation of 11Mbps is completely accurate. I'm willing to wager it's...

I'm thinking WM9 is so efficient and high quality vs. MPEG2 that Voom will be able to gain A LOT of additional bandwidth for their MPEG2 HD channels. Perhaps enough to reduce all channels carrying HD content to 2 per transponder by repositioning current SD content and giving the gained...

DirecTV uses the most compression on their HDTV channels of any satellite provider. DirecTV HDTV is 15.8Mbit, vs 16.9Mbit on Voom. Dish is 19.8, just like the OTA HDTV channels. (Details compiled by Mike123ABC on DBStalk: VOOM Runs 8PSK 22msym 5/6 FEC 188/204 RS or 50.69 mbit/sec or...

It isn't an IRD issue. It's at the uplink center/"headend" side...the channels that have sparkling are analog feeds from the content providers.

Your electrical inspector is hopefully a bit confused. If his statement is correct, this means they couldn't enforce the grounding of Telephone (-48V)or Cable systems at either the customer premesis or the pole. Rediculous! There would HAVE to be an additional provision that allows them to...

Speaking of Children...

It amazes me how far off-topic your remark is. This was about a signal issue, not a picture issue. Any opportunity to bash the product...

The 2nd barker (8-15) is a remap of the 1st barker. It requires no additional bandwidth. Besides, Rainbow 1 has full saturation on all transponders whether it's dummy data or a channel carrying a network feed.

This has what to do with equating Voom and DirecTV. That's like saying Martha Stewart is in control of Voom because a Dolan wife purchased a copy of her magazine. Two completely separate business interests.

What do you guys do/recommend?

I too have noticed a slight increase in sharpness on Disc HD Theater on E* vs. V*. Obviously we can't compare HDNet, and I've not done a comparison of ESPNHD's (one reason is the difference should be negiligible since I'm upconverting to 1080i anyway). Voom has the advantage of having a...

You're juvenile as hell. Look within before you criticize Vurbano. At least he was on-topic.

The Voom dish will include a dual LNB, which means it has a single actual LNB with dual outputs. You can always use one of the outputs for Voom and one for Dish 61.5. The signaling will be similar to legacy, so you can't easily integrate it into a dishpro setup but you can always switch them...

Actually, if the splitter isn't active, it's -3.5dbmv :). The ports may be labeled 3.5db, but that's the actual loss figure, which varies at different frequencies. The UHF's will probably lose more than 3.5dbmv at the high frequencies they utilize. If you have a pretty decent signal to...

The box could've been hit with a kill. It needs to get some form of authorization in some cases to even display the signal strength.

HAHA that's funny! We have 39+ HD channels RIGHT NOW! Keep on dreamin' brother.

With the way you act in these forums, I'd assume you are a patch cable maker that is 18 years old. Guy, I have a doctorate. Don't talk to me about careers. I also served my country proudly for many years as an enlisted and commissioned member of the US Army. We killed a lot of troll-like...

Could care less where you are, troll. I can afford my Voom.

Rex's secret admirer. Why all the damned anti-Voom trolls as of late? Methinks most are jealous because they couldn't keep enough in their bank account to cover the charges. I know that's harsh, but everyone with the cash to afford the product seems pretty pleased.

Why would it be good for us that a Canadian company bought an American company? That is rediculous, IMO.
