hehe... take his advice everyone, please. ;)

great find Darrell! This needs to be brought to the attention of someone at V* imediatly, as a lot of us saw this problem occuring all the time, and found it very annoying. Very interesting about the 3 frames being repeated. And it is funny how some notice this stutter, and others don't. The...

Thanks for the positive response. I will be doing some future lurking to see if problems do get fixed, and I'll be watching the growth of VOOM from the side lines. That DVR that's coming in the fall just might bring me back pretty darn quick! ;) Again, thanks everyone.

It was time for this guy to make his decision on VOOM, and I think I made the right choice. I'm dumping them and sticking with D*. The constant picture quality fluctuations, microstutters, bad looking sd channels (sparklies), and rain fade problems are my main gripes with V*. I'm not going to...

lol... yeah let's see... the first installer got a low 40's signal for me, and said that was the best I could possibly get, and that I should be happy with it. This was the old scale btw. A few days later I adjusted and got mid to high 50's. Then when I had someone come back out for the 30"...

ya know, I was just thinking about how much fun it will be to put that dish back up there and find the signal again! :rolleyes: BTW guys, the first installer that came to my house, (who initially hooked up the 18" dish) never grounded my dish. I would like to ground it when I set up my 30"...

WOW... what an offer! ;) I guess I'll take you guys up on that if my wife kicks me out for complaining about cable PQ too much! lol...

Yeah, it sucks I'll be without V*, and D* for about a week as I'm getting a new roof put up on the house! I can't believe I will be without HD, even if it's just for a few days (yeah I know I've been spoiled)! I'm stuck with this lame a$$ basic cable, that really looks terrible in my area. I...

LMAO!... now that's funny! Good one man!

Rex, why all of the sudden so much hate against VOOM, and other folks here? I don't get it. I understand you had problems with getting double billed, (which shouldn't be happening) and feel bad that you have to get rid of the service, because VOOM has no paper billing option. Now given that you...

Ok, now I do remember Sean stating that one of his older boxes did have the red push issue, so yeah maybe something's up with that box? I've been thru 2 boxes now, and they've been the same in terms of PQ, so I have not seen this red push. I know my tv had a red push issue that I fixed myself in...

yeah it does take some courage to finally get into that service menu and start playing, but once you get to learning what fixes what, and start seeing good results, it's all worth it! :D

So you calibrated your tv to your VOOM box, and still get a softer picture? Hmm... I don't know then. I'm not seeing a difference at all when swicthing to and from D*, and VOOM using components? HBOHD, and SHowHD are a little softer with VOOM, but I've noticed that for some time now. DIscHD...

You had your Mits tv calibrated with your Sony STB, (of course it will look better). You now need one of your other picture modes/settings ISF calibrated to your VOOM box to be able to compare. BTW I too thought the picture was very soft compared to D*, but once I adjusted things properly, and...

Again, you do not want them "the same". Change the picture settings ie..color, sharp, hue etc... for the VOOM STB. Every video component outputs their picture differently, and they *each* need their own calibration settings. You should have *different* settings for each.

Well it sounds as if it's their way of keeping everyone "plugged in" via phone line.

I only got components from the installer.

That's too bad. It's wierd I never had a problem with using my check card?

yeah I have modes too that I use. each one is for a different component.

That is a bad way to compare the the two different STB's! Each one has to be separately calibrated to get optimal PQ. As you said you had D* first and your tv was probably already adjusted for that box. Don't expect to hook up another STB from another company, keep the same picture settings and...

Those shows don't appeal to me, and I get my movie fix in HD with all the other movie channels that VOOM offers. So I guess I'm not missing much with Sci Fi then.

did they give you an example of this "inconsistency"?

Can you please fix your new website to allow us mozilla/firefox users to view it? Some of us don't have IE anymore. Thank you.

I wouldn't list her email address. Wilt is a good man to go to, and he'll direct folks to who they need to talk to. Let's keep it like that. We don't want this lady getting hammered with emails about all kinds of stuff that she probably has no control over.

Don't know yet, haven't got any heavy rain since the install! ;)
