    Anyone know why MCE doesn't have the VOOM lineup

    Voom with XP MCE 2005? If anyone could enlighten me as to how this works... I'm considering getting a MCE computer, since supposedly the 2005 edition supports HDTV. However, I'm wondering how to hook up the Voom receiver to it. Would I be able to record HD signals from the Voom box, or just...

    VOOM Installations

    Yes, that's what they're telling me. I wish I had known that, I would have gotten the second one installed for free with the first one!

    VOOM Installations

    Additional Receivers Well I've had Voom for a week now, and I'm pretty thrilled. So yesterday I called and cancelled cable. Then I called Voom to request an additional receiver for the other TV in the house. I knew from my initial call to them that this would cost me an additional $9.50/mo...

    Voom Box Version V00.05.08. Bugs/Problems/Feature Request

    Screen Saver Oh yeah, I remember reading that earlier now! Thanks for reminding me Sean. At the time I read it I didn't know what the heck they were talking about, but now I can definitely relate! :) Can I get a reminder on how to view the current software version? I've got to start writing...

    VOOM Installations

    More install details I never mentioned that for my install, the installer had no intention of using the diplexor, and in fact had a box of coax that was actually two cables "glued" together. So I was pretty happy about that, even though I'm only getting one OTA channel anyway. I'm unable to...

    Voom Box Version V00.05.08. Bugs/Problems/Feature Request

    STB Issues I guess I've been pretty lucky, I'm not having most of the problem other people are posting. The deal with the box always going back to the top channel, instead of the channel you're on bugs the hell out of me, but hopefully that will be fixed in the next software version. The box...

    VOOM Installations

    Installation Blues Reversed! OK, well the installer showed up, did a professional job, stuck around and made sure everything was working right, answered all my questions. Other than the non-phone-call-returning episodes, I'd say things worked out great. I'm only getting one local channel, but...

    VOOM Installations

    Installation Blues Maybe Over? I posted my horror stories this week about my local installer not returning any phone calls after not showing up for the install. Today I called Voom and explained the situation to them. She put me on hold for a few minutes, then came back and said an installer...

    VOOM Installations

    Installation Blues Continued Well, in my last post I talked about how the installer called me on Sunday, the day before my install was supposed to happen, to tell me the equipment hadn't arrived. I have called him back every single day this week (4 days) on both his "office" number and his cell...

    VOOM Installations

    Installation Blues Well, last Tuesday, the 2nd of March, I ordered Voom. They told me it would be installed today, the 8th. Last night, around 5:30 pm, an installer called and left me a message that the equipment never arrived, and he'd have to reschedule for Thursday or Friday. I could barely...

    OTA with Voom

    Will I be able to get anything OTA? Hi everyone, great forum here. I ordered Voom on Tuesday, it's scheduled to be installed on Monday. I also called today to confirm, and they said it's still a go. All the info here has been great, and hopefully the install won't be too bad. At least I'm...
