Voom HD and dish 6000 problems...

[slimoli]

I got my Voom package today and realized that some channels have the picture distorted when the receiver is set at 720P. Changing to 1080I the picture was back to normal. My projector is native 720P and the PQ is a little better when the 6000 is at 720P as well.

Anybody can confirm this?

Thanks

See this thread at DBSTalk about the 6000 and the VOOM channels.

Well, let me tell you that my TWCNYC SA8001 HD-DVR does the same. As I set it to 1080i, picture was immediately magnitude better.

I tried setting my 6000 on 720p today and got the same results so I left it at 1080i.

Why would anyone want their output video source to be 720p instead of 1080i anyways?? The only reason I can think of is their TV/Projector is not capable of handling a 1080i resolution. Would someone please enlighten me on this.

Thanks

My pj is 720p native but I seem to get a better image by feeding it 1080i.

The 1080i looks better on my lowly X1 also...

The scalling equipment is always better in the TVs/projectors. So that's why you should leave the dish hd receivers in 1080i. you only need to be on 720p if you're watching ABC/FOX/ESPN

For some reason when I output 1080i to my benq 8700+ the graphics "vibrate". I am running through the vga connector to the HD-RGB input on the benq. At 720p, i dont get the problem. Anyone think of a solution? I might break down and buy a long component cable and try that...

You'd like to try and match your output to your TVs input. Plus, the different scanning helps make some programming look better. I can't recall which is which but one is better for fast action like sports and the other one for movies.
