Sound match with visual: sometimes sound does not perfectly match visual. I haven't determined a real pattern to this occurrance....... no Voom answers on this.
Does it happen in every channel or just in one or is it particular to a specific movie? I do not want to doubt what you are seeing but rather want to rule out the possibility that it's a problem with a particular broadcast. If you can give us an example, like an event/movie that will repeat, I will sit down and watch it and report whether I am seeing/hearing the same behavior. This way we can rule out that your box may not be functioning correctly.
Not sure yet how to pull quotes out of posts, forgive me for cutting and pasting. Regarding the sound match issue...... I am am noticing now as I flip through the Voom HD channels, when I get to Rave video mix the sould was way off, however after a few minutes it seemed to correct itself. I have been able to replicate this observation each time I tune out and tune back in, this last time I have waited 15 minutes and the sound has not corrected itself. This would seem to me to be box specific?
Freezing: began freezing 2 weeks into service......Voom asked me to reboot by holding power button 5 seconds. This did not work. I was then asked to schedule another service call. I refused, citing the installer would not do anything we couldn't do over the phone and therefor my time was not worth another failed service call. I was told they would check into altenative and follow up within a day. Follow up never occurred, but the freezing went away a few days later. So far no freezing over the last 4 days or so.
Be careful with this one. As Wilt mentioned, some of these early boxes may detoriate with time.
My box froze today for the first time in 4 days. I think I jinxed it with my previous post.
Stretch to 16:9 Unable to stretch local and premium SD programing on HD/Digital channels................no one to date has told me whether this is an error or normal, despite several failed commitments by both the installed and Voom to follow up.
I do not think it is possible to stretch the picture with the VOOM receiver to completly fill the screen unless your TV does it for you. I have given an answer to this to someone on this thread
regarding the stretch issue......I read your thread, I also have a Sony GW (III) with Voom on component video 5 input. My issue is not slight pillars, but full pillars as if no stretch is occuring at all (only on HD channels showing SD material). I am able to stretch the same channel when drawing from my cable on video 3 and ant. inputs. (by the way, I kept premium cable since I can not completely replace it with Voom. Therefore the argument, I have seen occasionally from other posts, that early adapters have had free programing is unworthy since I am not saving anything while still being forced to supplement with my premium cable service).
Once other question: have you heard if a timer will be installed on the programming guide? I just bought the Panny DVD and HDD recorder, but can not correspond timed channel changing with Voom.
