    No dish 1000 setting on vip 622. Help.

    DishPOinter is AWESOME! I wish I would have known about it earlier today. I had the same dilema but I used the Dish 500 settings to get 110 on a 211 reciever with a DP Plus dish. I will use this site to further tweak my settings. Thanks

    Thanks Ilya, for clearing this up for me.

    Still have OTA's

    Like DarrellP mentioned, there was some concern that the STB's needed a monthly time stamping signal from the satellite in order to keep the OTA's functioning. Apparently it can be avoided by unplugging it a couple of days. Where would the time/date show up? I checked the "Voom" menu and...

    Still have OTA's

    The last thing I heard was that the STB's might go dark for OTA's today. I still have them. Hope it is not temporary.

    How can I get my OTA's back ?

    There was a strong lightning storm coming through my area so I unplugged my STB to prevent any potential damage. After plugging it back in a few hours later I no longer get any OTA's. I checked the signal for the different RF's and it seems to be receiving the signals fine, but nothing comes...

    sending back equipment

    I hope you are right. I could use a couple OTA HD tuners.

    VOOM gone OTA here

    OTA's OK in Miami I have 3 leased stb's. One has been disconnected for three weeks. The other two are receiving ota's perfectly fine. I haven't disconnected any cables from the multiswitch or diplexers. we have the "Miami Special" which is a non-powered ChannelMaster (not sure of the...

    What to do if "Voom Conversion Office" called you

    "Voom Conversion Center" I got this letter yesterday from the "Voom Conversion Center" on Dish Network letterhead. A couple of buddies also got it some time this week. As you can see it still leaves many questions unanswered: ************************************** (Dish Network logo)...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Comcast HD/DVR in Kendall I guess it's wait and see for me as well. I will keep an eye out for Comcast in my area. They have a few more locals which is better than the Adelphia deal. I also called Comcast the same night I called Adelphia and I wasn't in their service area. I'll just...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    I'll keep you posted I'll be doing the same. I'll post an update on this thread when/if we get Adelphia.

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Yeah. I think it was a total of $72 plus tax(es) for two stb's plus the $5 HD package. It seems high especially since we got Voom at such a bargain. I think Comcast was trying to acquire Adelphia, but from what I read we shouldn't expect much either way.

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    HD providers in the Kendall Area I called last night about Adelphia's "HD Tier". Needless to say, it sucked! It really only has a few channels, only includes 3 local Digital TV stations, the majority are only available at a premium. This is horrible. BTW - my neighbor has Adelphia...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Buying STB's from VOOM? I wouldn't mind buying my STB's at a discounted price (50 bucks or so) if I could still use them for OTA's. None of my HDTV's have built-in tuners. If I understand correctly, they should work after the shutdown since they were already activated by VOOM. Right?

    Cablevision agrees to end Voom

    It is better to have Voomed and lost than never to have Voomed at all. Let's enjoy it while we have it!

    Miami - Reception Problems with FOX and ABC

    RG-6 Cable As long as it is RG-6 cable it should work fine. I used RG-6 for digital cable as well as DTV. Dish probably uses the same one too. They will provide you with the dish. Although you might want to check the VOOM Installation part of the forum to find out if there are other...

    2 New Channels added

    You are absolutely right. I meant that Native Americans had to learn a new language (including English) instead of keeping their own. Don't mean to drag this on. Just wanted to clarify.

    2 New Channels added

    Hey Voomin, Last I heard Native Americans had to learn to speak English. Weren't they here first? Maybe you should learn to speak Spanish. You see, in about 30 years Spanish-speakers might be the majority. :D At least VOOM understands the importance of Latinos' $356 billion a year (and...

    Miami - Reception Problems with FOX and ABC

    The Channel Master usually works A friend who lives a couple of miles away from me got upgraded to the Channel Master and it solved his problem. You should be fine once it gets installed. Very rarely (my house) it needs a little help because of line of sight issues. I have another...

    Miami - Reception Problems with FOX and ABC

    I guess this really is not a big deal. It's just really frustrating when I'm trying to watch American Idol. JK. I'm really satisfied with the service overall. Thanks for the feedback.

    New SD and WealthTV VVV Only Channels:

    Thanks I just upgraded to the two-month offer. We already pay $49 so it was a good deal. Hopefully we will keep it after the trial is over. Thanks for the tip!

    Miami - Reception Problems with FOX and ABC

    Did you have to add any other gadgets to the OTA in order to get them? It seems that the signal, to FOX especially, is so weak that one moment it barely comes in, and the next it goes out completely. My signal bounces around almost continously from 84-86.

    Miami - Reception Problems with FOX and ABC

    Has anybody else had problems getting channels 7 (FOX) and 10 (ABC) in Miami? I live in southwest Dade and can barely get these two. I have had to resort to adding an amplifier to the upgraded OTA antenna, and I still have frequent problems. I keep having to adjust the gain depending on...
