The installer was totally cool (Advanced Technologies), I have 96 for sat signal strength, most of the OTA channels are between 90 and 97. He used the existing cable in the house for all 3 receivers with a diplexor thing and it seems to work great. Still playing with/learning the menu but the HD quality is killer.

One question, I have the samsung hlp5063 and it's a 1280x720 res tv, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's better to set the voom stb to 1080i and have the TV "resample" to 720p or if it's better to set the stb to 720p.

Loving Voom in Boise!

Welcome to the forum, josephrice!

Congratulations on your install. Enjoy VOOM!

Your TV set may or may not do better job converting from 1080i to 720p. So, try both resolutions (720p and 1080i) and see which one looks better to you.

Good luck!
 

install voom tomorrow
