    Record an Anamorphic DVD from Voom?

    Anamorphic term... Whazoo, I was only using the term used on DVD's. I know Anamorphic used to use special lenses. However, on today's DVD's that show in "true widescreen", they are labled anamorphic (and I don't believe that they are transferred from film to DVD using a lens - my guess...

    Record an Anamorphic DVD from Voom?

    Anamorphic with ReplayTV - here's how it works... Well, I found out in the resolution settings on the voom box, you can "squeeze" 16x9 video into a 4x3 format (called Anamorphic). It actually works great. It allows me to record the entire 16x9 image on the 4x3 replaytv. Then, when I play...

    Record an Anamorphic DVD from Voom?

    Why am I asking? Basically, my thought is to get my ReplayTV to record in Anamorphic. Then, on my Sony LCD TV, I can use the standard "stretch" zoom, which only stretches the horizontal (and leaves the vertical alone). This will result in a better 16:9 picture than using the standard "zoom"...

    Record an Anamorphic DVD from Voom?

    clarification... Maybe I should clarify - anamorphic is where the entire 16:9 image is compressed down to 4:3 (everyone looks thin). Most 16:9 tv's read this as "DVD", and re-stretch the screen for you. Letterbox is a 16:9 image shrunk down to fit a 4:3 screen (with black bars on the top...

    Voom settings? What Voom settings are you using to get the "anamorphic" version of the video? Or are you just recording standard 4:3 letterbox?

    Record an Anamorphic DVD from Voom?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get an anamorphic signal over S-Video with the Voom box? Does this work with the DVD recorders on the market? (anyone tried?). Thanks... /joe

    Voom announces intent to introduce a HD DVR in the summer

    4 tuners = 4 LNBs?? Can anyone comment/inform on the dish structure of Voom? If there are 4 tuners in the DVR, will it require 4 LNBs? Are 2 for satellite and 2 for OTA? Will it require a dish upgrade, or will this be more similar to a 2-room Voom installation? Thanks...
