[VOOM] Re: VOOM Box and Changing Channels in DVI Problem
It looses sync on both 1080i and 720p (which is what looks best on
both my plasma and the LCD). If I go down to 480i, it changes channels
fine, without loosing sync (but 480i is really not an option). It does
work with component in, although I notice slightly better blacks with
DVI, so I would like to be able to use it).
As I said, I was told this is a known problem with Moto boxes, because
of their use of "non-standard" DVI. I already had the LCD monitor
exchanged, and still have exacly the same problem, so I am inclined to
believe this.
When I called Voom, they suggested that it may be the box, and will
exchange it. Hope this will fix it.
I read somewhere that the latest VOOM software upgrade fixed this
problem, but obviously not in my case.
Anyone with more insight?
Otherwise, VOOM rocks
