That's it - Works like a charm. Thanks!

Hi, When I first received my DCT6412 I was able to set it up to omit the leading zeros required when entering a channel. For example, to input channel 8 I had to input 008. I have forgotten what I did to change it so that it will accept the 8 by itself and tune to the station. It is working...

Anyone know if it is possible to subscribe to DISH for only the HD channels? I was a VOOM subscriber and switched to Comcast when VOOM went under. Comcast doesn't have a lot of HD and I miss the VOOM programming. I called DISH and they said I had to get one of the full packages and then add...

As a follow-up (and thanks to POLAR) I was able to get the mute button working on the remote by Unlocking all the volume controls. This is described in the instructions for the remote control that came with the cable box. Press cable once then press and hold setup until the cable key blinks...

Thanks POLAR - I will try that tonight. What you say makes sense as it seems that the remote is already programmed and I need to reprogram it so that the mute button controls the cable box not just the receiver. I bet someone else had already programmed the remote when I got it to control the...

I just switched from VOOM to COMCAST HD with the Motorola 6412 DVR and haven't yet figured this one out: When I have programmed a record session with the DVR and then turn the cable box off if I turn the box back on during the record session, the volume is MUTED (screen displays MUTE) and the...

I just switched over from VOOM to Comcast HD w/DVR box. Anyone figured out how to dim the display on the Motorola receiver? Short of buying some window tint film and pasting it over the clock/channel display would be of interest as it is too bright in a dark room. BTW, am pleased with...

Hi: I cannot get your link below to work - You posted this on 12/16/03. I am looking for a full manual on the VOOM receiver. What is the correct link? Thanks. http://www.installs.com/docs/Motorola%20Installation%20&%20Diagnostic%20Menu%20Guide.pdf

This may be a ignorant question but is it possible to connect 2 OTA antennas to perhaps achieve better OTA reception? The Voom installer hooked up an outdoor stealth antenna and it works fine on 50% of the stations in my area. I also have a rather large UHF/VHF antenna in my attic that I can...

I had the installer back out today and he said that 2.1 is a problem in the Atlanta area - He thinks they don't have enough power. I am only 11 miles away and still can't get it at all. FOX is perfect, 46 is excellent (99% of the time). I do have color fade on 11.1 and 69. He suggested a...

Unscrambled local cable channels on VOOM Thanks for the replies. I have a VOOM installer coming out Thursday to troubleshoot another issue and I will ask him. It makes sense that since the cable signal is analog that the VOOM won't pick it up but what are the other two remaining coax...

Does anyone know of a way to hook up my local unscrambled cable line to the VOOM receiver and have it display in the channel guide just like the VOOM and OTA programming? I see there are a couple of coax inputs on the back of the VOOM receiver but without any kind of manual for the motorola, I...

Atlanta VOOM Installation Peachtree Corners (Spalding & Holcomb Bridge) - I just had VOOM installed on Thursday(April29) and I am very pleased overall. I get all the OTA channels clear as a bell except 2.1 (WSB) which comes and goes (mostly goes). I am calling the installer back out to see if...
