Sci Fi Channel may be bad but there are variations on all channels. iTunes (of iPod fame) has this neat feature where it will normalize the volume of all songs in the library so they all sound the same loudness at the same volume setting. Can't they do that with sound on video channels as...

The no answer is not quite accurate. One of the most impressive things a tivo box does is seamlesslessly combine two sources of channels (like cable and voom, or an ota antenna and voom). When you flip channles with the tivo, it seamlessly goes from the last channel on the cable or ant, to...

What would be interesting to note, is, if Voom goes out of business, and they have a bunch of the HD DVR's ready and leftover, could they be sold, and used for over the air HD recording. Would they have firewire, component, dvi, hdmi, inputs for recording from other services (cable, directv...

New problem with channel blackouts The new version of software is hardly every locking up so that I have to reboot. But now I am starting to get a new problem where a channel will black out video and say signal lost, but the audio is still there. This happened on WQED 13-2 local station this...

It's been a while since I set up my tivo to change channels on the voom receiver, but it does work. I have an HD400 from toshiba with tivo series 2. I use the ir blasters that hang over the front of the voom receiver. The tivo blasts the numbers of the channel it wants to tune to, rather than...

a few of my channels have started to fade in and out. I wonder if it has anything to do with the change in seasons.

That sucks. I thought DD 5.1 was a mandate with HD, by the FCC, FGS. :confused: And I didn't know that DD 2.0 existed. My old receiver would say Dolby Pro when a 2 channel source with steering logic would come in, or Stereo, when a simple 2 channel source would come in. That's what...

Sorry, I forgot to mention. I have the optical digital cable from voom to the receiver. If I had just the composite (rca red white) the receiver would only show dolby pro logic II. But it is displaying Dolby Digital 2/0. I didn't think there was such a thing. I thought Dolby Digital on came...

I'm confused about the sound coming out the digital port on my voom receiver. I just bought a new Sony A/V receiver that has up to 7.1 channel sound. It has many of the newest decoders. While watching the voom receiver, every time I change channels, it scrolls the sound format across the...

It sounds like pbs is a common thread here. What is pbs doing different than all the rest of the channels? My PBS starts on 13-3. They said they are going to drop it to 13-1 to try to get compatible with the voom box. I wish the voom box would just scan all channels and add them to the...

I think I understand this. Here's what I think it means. Native resolution is what the station is broadcasting at. ABC in 720p, CBS in 1080i, etc. If you set your voom box to native, it should output exactly what the station sends you. You can then let your tv display it if it is capable of...

Does native mode work for both component and dvi?

PBS is one of my favorite channels in HD, and I have been missing mine (WQED) on 13-3 since version 5.68 of the software. Recently, we are theorizing that it is because the default pbs psip from the national feed is being broadcast (80-3) because the station has something out for repair and...

Well that pretty much explains it all. With overhang you are probably cutting out a quarter of the energy you could collect, but even on a clear day, 3/4 of what you could collect can still add up to a strong signal. But when the atmosphere cuts the signal strength, and your overhang cuts it...

You counter to my argument makes much sense. But fogged up windows are different from windows that are getting rain on them. Fog is usually on the inside and rain on the outside. But you're right, fog is just very tiny water droplets. And it's very difficult to see through this thin film of...

roflmao! That sure let the hot air out of my balloon!! During a heavy storm my 18" allows the signal to drop to zero. We're having some weird heavy end of summer rain here in western pa, so I'm going to try to test this theory (on the whole dish! :) ). I just can't dismiss it out right...

In order to see the refraction of light, it has to be reflected through the lense of your eye, where it is focused on the retina. In the water example, light from the sun travels through space, through atmosphere, and then through a body of water in which you are observing the stick...

I have a couple of these little battery operated clocks that pick up the time signal from some atomic clock out west, that broadcasts a radio signal that covers the entire us. They are alway right in sync with each other and I trust that they are receiving the atomic clock radio signal. I...

You could almost make a case for this. You know how water changes the angle of reflected light rays? Just put a stick in a body of water, and see how it appears to bend at a sharp angle in the water, when it is actually straight. This is because the water changes the angle of the reflected...

settable OTA scan lock threshhold. There are a lot of messages in this thread so I don't know if this one has been covered, but I'd like the ability to lower the threshold for scanned OTA channels . The current 85 threshold (for rain fade according to the screen) is to high. On clear days, my...

There are a lot more channels in the voom guide for my zipcode than what I have mapped. I have all the Pittsburgh stations, and I get them all except for 38 WQED which I think must be mapped to 13.1 when its supposed to be 13.3 even though it shows up as 13.3 on my stb. But there are also...
