Just got a Voom box...got lotta questions

**Iceberg** · 01-15-2007 08:10 PM

Just got a Voom box from a member here and got it hooked up and scanned in (thanks Ilya for the AWESOME FAQ at top)

Programming in the channels were a snap....but now I have a few questions

-Is there any way to nuke the channels for the "other" market in there? The person I got it from had Florida locals in it and I am in Minneapolis. I scanned in the Mpls and now both are in there. Any way to delete the Florida locals?
-I don't have a HDTV and on my Dish 811 I could "stretch" the non HD programming to fit the screen. Any way to do this on the Voom box? Don't like seeing the grey bars on the side or a small TV screen

Now this one is unique...any way to change the remote address of the box? I have a Starchoice box (also Motorola) so when I hit power, both go on. I have a universal remote for the SC box so I can't change the remote address on that. If I had the original remote I could. I didn't see an option on the Voom box

Thanks guys!

You should be able to go into the channel list and "Hide" the other channels. Or, you can do a scan without an antenna hooked up and then save after it finds zero channels. That'll clear it out too. Then, just scan again with the antenna attached and save after it finds all your channels.

System settings and then option number 1 which is picture format. Should have two options there, one of them is for how it should display wide format picture on your narrow tv. I think I have mine set to crop. Sure, you lose the sides, but it fills up the entire screen and I think that's what you're after.

I have the same problem with my DSR-922. I don't believe there is a way to change the remote code.

damn. Never thought of that

I think I solved my problem. Getting a original StarChoice remote that I can change the remote address so they won't clash
