    Adjusting your HD picture quality

    I see it on all channels and only on DVI input, so I think is got to do with DVI cable. I wonder if anyone knows about difference between Dual-link and Single-link DVI cables, can I use either one with VOOM?

    Adjusting your HD picture quality

    I have a silly question: When I view dark shots on any HD channels I see barely visible 'snow', if the shot is darker then 'snow' becomes more visible and annoying. Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

    Adjusting your HD picture quality

    Thank you for all replies, I was able to improve picture with manual convergence . Auto convergence did not help much, as right side of the screen was sharper then the left side regardless of the connection ( DVI or Component). I wonder if plasma HD screens have this type of problems, or they...

    I'm trying to improve quality of my HD picture. I got 56' JVC AV-56WP74 Projection set and using DVI connection. It seems to me that my HD channels are not as good as when I had HD channels from cable. It looks like colors are slightly separated. It is more visible when there are small...

    Prelimenary results of the pool I see that over 60 people voted in this pool so far and main surprise for me from these preliminary results is the fact that over half of VOOM subscribers apparently not happy with their OTA reception. Hope someone from VOOM reads this forum.

    How big is OTA antenna ?

    HOA rules That FCC ruling that you mentioning only applies to the areas exclusively used by the resident ( such as balcony or patio). Space on the roof still managed by HOA rules and unfortunately they CAN impose restrictions on antenna placement there.
