Thread: Attention: VOOMers in San Diego, LA, or Phoenix DMAs

Scan worked for me but I deleted all local channels except 2 (CBS), 4(NBC),5 (WB) 7(ABC),9 IND., 11 (FOX), 13 (UPN)& 28 (PBS). Don't remember how many there were but had no problem. Note: 7 should scan as 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3. 7.1 is ABC programming, 7.2 is all news and 7.3 is the doppler radar. (Just South of LA)

I guess I dont understand the DMA map thing? I think my D* hughes reciever scans in whatever it can find. MY Voom moto appears to do the same. But Is the Voom Moto just Brainless and needs a map to do it? makes no sense and seems to be the cause of a lot of STUPID setbacks IMO.

Please answer this post. Thanks.

Yes - I have this problem. Have ABC and WB mapped and in guide, but just a black screen when I tune to it. On VERY rare occasions ABC will come in momentarily. I live in LA!

I am experiencing the same issue with PBS. I believe it is channels 24. Channel 24 is mapped but always has the call voom to update message. channel 17 (which I think is the same as 17) works fine.

I don't scanning feature to get the channels.

I have an antenna rotator and I dial in the RF channel using the adjust antenna feature.

I am in Glendale right next to Phoenix and have this problem on the locals. Not the major channels though, those are fine.

I have never got KNBC, here in LA. It scanned & comes up with the sched. & info , but no reception.

I was having the same problem with KABC 7.1 and finally had Voom replace the OTA antenna. Now I get everything broadcast in digital from Mt. Wilson.

I have that issue.

I have channels that are there, that even have programming info, all local, but only come up as a blank screen, Phoenix.
