I recently switched from digital cable to Voom. So far I've been pretty happy with the service. I definately feel like I'm getting more for my money than with cable but I too notice the soft picture that people here have been talking about. What I'm wondering is how much of it is caused by the Motorola box itself. Cable used to provide me with my locals in HD. The picture I got was noticeably sharper than what I'm recieving with the Voom box. Even the lettering on my PBS channel logo was more defined through cable. Since these are locals and not off the sat and STILL soft it leads me to believe that the box just isnt really up to par. I tried adjusting the settings on my tv but no matter what I do I could never get the sources two to look the same. I don't know if this is a hardware issure or something that can be fixed through a firmware update but I'm guessing not since we've had so many and none have made any changes in picture quality. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I dont know if they are even able to do much about the sharpness of the picture unless they replace our boxes. Any thoughts on this?
