Sounds about right. Not much, I know, but it's nice that they don't compress it any more. We may not have a lot of capacity at present, but the PQ is pretty darn good. The do have plans to increase capacity, but I'm not holding my breath.

The native pass through is for resolution. It allows the box to sent 1080i content to the TV in 1080i, and 480I content in 480i, etc. The way it currently works, you set ONE resolution, and everthing gets sent to the TV at that resolution, and the box resamples it. That's a pain, because if my...

No. Charter has to have licensing agreements in place to carry locals in HD. Where I live, I can get about 10 different HD locals OTA from the 2 markets I live between, but Charter currently gives me only 2 of those in HD! It's very frustrating and very slow getting more added. That's why I...

Just to clarify a couple of things - the 3.2 upgrade will allow native pass through for resolution, eliminating the need for manually switching from 1080i to 480i as you switch from HD to SD channels. But, it will NOT solve the problem of the analog channels (below 100) looking bad. That...

I know it from talking to Charter people in my area. Some areas already have it, and I've run into people online who have it. It will make a HUGE difference in picture quality on the lower 100 channnels. I'd suggest calling Charter in your area to find out about their timetable. But you can...

CDH, If you've got a Moxi, you want to go into Settings, and set it to Widescreen and leave it. Then, also under Settings, change your Video Output to either 1080 or 480, depending on what you're watching. That should keep your TV from displaying SD in 16:9. It's a real nuisance, but will be...

Charter is switching to a digital simulcast system where they send the lower 100 channels in both digital and analog. This will improve the grainy appearance with the DVR on those channels. The rollout has already started, but I don't have it here in Whitewater, WI, though some people in nearby...

Since the people here are among the most knowledgeable around with respect to other companies' offerings and picture quality compared to VOOM, I thought it might be instructive for those who are newer to the satellite world to see if there is any consensus of opinion as to what is the next best...

Amen. And it is likely that there are many moving parts that have been moved already that we just don't know about. I'm sure that we on the outside are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. I remain optimistic...

Using DVI to Hitachi CRT RPTV 1080i, running STB in Native.

Strange that we have all these articles saying that Voom essentially has a reprieve until the 3/7 meeting... ...but the Voom.com site still says Voom will "shut down by the end of March." !!!

Cablevision delays Voom shutdown From Crain's New York Business March 03, 2005 Cablevision delays Voom shutdown Cablevision Systems Corp. said it would delay shutting down its money-losing Voom satellite service to allow Cablevision Chairman Charles Dolan more time to come up with an...

Nope - now voomllc.com shows same content as voom.com. Man this is more exciting than WATCHING Voom!

voomllc.com is just a static banner. voom.com IS back... with the full content! Paul

LOL! In three words you summed up my thinking exactly! :) Paul

I'm in Whitewater, WI and am mapped to Milwaukee. But I actually pick up more stations from Madison than Milwaukee. Paul

Advertising Saw Voom infomercial on Court TV at 6:30 AM CST today.

To: Mr. Charles Dolan VOOM/Cablevision January 24, 2005 Dear Mr. Dolan, I want to thank you for sharing your vision and your commitment to HD programming. I've only been a subscriber for 6 months, but have enjoyed Voom tremendously during that time. I can't imagine what it will be like...

Does that need to mounted on the antenna, or could it be put inside, say, near the grounding block?

I have a Winegard 7082 that was installed as an upgrade antenna when Voom was first installed. Worked fine on all but one channel most of the time at first, but I'm having increasing trouble with some of the other stations. (I'm in an outlying area). Would some sort of preamp possibly help...

I got the same message, but without the parts referring to the extra channels. I suppose that means I'm not going to get those feeds- even thought Milwaukee, WI is listed for access to those, and I'm mapped to the Milwaukee market. !!??

No PG info after update? My box updated to 6.20 last night, and rebooted as expected... But 5 hours later, still no PG info. Finally rebooted it myself before leaving for work, so I don't know if it's downloaded PG yet. Anyone else see this?

On two occasions I have turned on my Hitachi TV and had it indicate that the Voom STB was connected via component (wrong!) with a black picture. Had to reboot the box, then DVI worked fine. Also, and this is stranger, on two occasions when the Voom STB was already on, but the TV input was...

Using the red button on the front right to cycle through the resolution modes will also do it.

OTA scanning adds to listing, but new channels don't list program info I'm located between two major cities, Milwaukee and Madison, WI. I was originally mapped to Milwaukee, despite the fact that antennaweb.org lists me for Madison digitals. Got Voom to install a rotor so I could pick up...
