My crystal ball says that the reincarnation of Voom will come alive on May 1st or perhaps a message from Dish saying that they're giving us free service for 30 day to try them out before subscribing to them.

Should we assume that they were told not to discuss the meeting on internet forums??

You sure this isn't some kind of April fool joke??

O.K., I'll bite. What's "vbr"?

Either a shirt or a DVR. Either one would be fine.

Like I said before, I have a problem referring people to sign up with Voom when the current picture quality. Fix the picture quality and I'll actively solicit new subscribers, but not until then.

Any chance they're testing some kind of spot beams which appear as different quality levels??

What is very odd is while channel surfing, I'll happen across a channel whose picture quality looks like better HD quality (not lite). So it appears that it can be done, but isn't for some reason.

Somethings not right boys (and girls). Why are some people seeing better picture quality and others are seeing worst??

Something's not right with your receiver/installation. PM me with your telephone number and we can go through all the possibilities (or at least the one's I can think of) Just to start, try doing a hard boot (unplug unit from power for 30 seconds and plug it back in. Don't change any...

On my Sony GWIII, I was just comparing USA between Voom and my cable provider (Brighthouse). This would be a Svideo input on a standard def channel. What I found is that the cable signal appeared a tad sharper. Looking at text during some ads, I could see why. The Voom signal is fairly...

gutter Something else is wrong with your unit. Mine does nothing like that.

hieight What channels are you watching? The few SD channels that I watch (SciFi USA) are clearly better.

The few channels I watched last night looked pretty good. As to soccer having some kind of motion artifacts, didn't they have that before the encoder change??

I think what some people are seeing is the difference in gamma between the two systems. With different gamma settings, your picture can appear flat or on the other hand more 3d like. I think the "more 3d like" was probably overdone causing problems with the darker shades in the picture. I...

This whole thing with adjustments to the encoders is just growing pains. Evidently, we had to go to the new encoders before implementing MPEG4. AND if we ever make it to MPEG4(I sure hope we do), we're probably are going to have a few weeks of getting it tweaked out also.

Now that you mention it, I see dead people or combing(which may be what you're describing).

I'm not sure if adding new channels have anything much to do with fine tuning the new encoders. Kinda sounds unrelated. Thoughts?

RogerD Are you using the DVI or component output from the Voom receiver?? My experience with the component output is that originally with the harmonic encoder upgrade, colors were too saturated. Evidently a good deal of that has been corrected. If you're using DVI, you might want to test...

Marty2112, Many of us ubergeeks would like to hear about how these channels are tweaked at Voom. If you get a chance, maybe you can write up something on that.

To those experiencing block noise (I think that means everybody) check the user menu on your TV. My Sony GWIII has a block noise filter adjustment that I moved from off to next to the highest on a scale of 4. Cleaned the picture up nicely. Although, it'll probably be fixed by Voom LLC in a...

neuclear I was reading your post a little too fast and thought it said 4 wives and a kid. lol No wonder you want HD and plenty of it. lol

I think this in part would depend on how its wired into your current system. If it's wired thorugh a diplexor with your E* system, it might not be that simple. Does the OTA antenna have its own wiring to the receiver, or is it combined and then diplexed?

I think they are saying March or later in order to give themselves some breathing room for software revisions. Its good to hear that its being deployed even if its only to Voom employees for testing. Considering that the latest software download screwed something up in the receiver, they...

How much does it cost to have D* with NFL ST? are we talking much money here?
