It's times like these that I am so glad I am not a huge football fan. But even if I ever considered getting ST, I wouldn't get it now just out of principle. In fact, I was pretty close to getting D* to replace Voom, but with this kind of business model, I'm getting scared away--what else will...

unplugged the 2 sat feeds yesterday (Sat) afternoon, and I'm still getting all my OTA channels today--almost. For some reason, channel 15 (local ABC) is not coming in, but I can live with that... :) Mine boxes are/were leased, and I'm using the standard antenna (don't know the model, or...

Voom spoiled me. I can hardly stand watching SD content anymore. I'm going to try OTA-only for a while, keeping my fingers crossed for someone to come along and pick up the pieces. Voom-please don't pick up or kill the boxes! I will be here waiting when you return!!!!

I just barely got Voom, and I'm spoiled. I don't think I could stomach D*, E*, and I won't even consider Cox Cable... I think I'm just going to go OTA for a while. The Voom antenna has given me spectacular OTA reception, and I think I can survive with that until a true Voom replacement...

I'm actually not a huge sports fan, but I watched that game last night too, and almost couldn't because of the crappy SD picture... After a while my eyes got used to the bluriness, but I don't wanna settle!!! :D You can add me to the list of those wanting ESPN2 HD!

That is pretty cool. Now did you really ask the Voom salesman why Voom? Or did you mean you asked the Dell salesperson why Voom??? ;)

I have a Samsung 47" HDTV, but my preferred setup is definitely my Panasonic AE700U at 9 FEET! :D

No matter how many April Fools joke posts there are, I still keep falling for them... I was just about to rush home for a late lunch as well! Aaaaaaarghh--ya got me! DAMN!!!!!! :D

Thanks for the tips guys. If I get up the determination, I think I will try the marker and guide wire ideas. The Voom guy did come out, and not only did he fix it--he improved it! My Satellite reception is now at a 97! Even he was surprised that he got it that high! VOOM, VOOM, VOOM!!!!!! :)

I've already posted about my install, but I'll do it here again. My install was great. He showed up on time, was polite, listened to my requests and did his best to fulfill them. He got me super reception on my satellite and OTA (~95 and 97), and was willing to stay and show me how to work...

ColdBrew, I'm almost in the same boat. My HDTV only has HDMI, and the Voom box has DVI. I bought a 10' DVI to HDMI cable from svideo.com for only $25. By far the best price I was able to find. For the same thing at Best Buy, they wanted $150!

smallghost, What do you have to lose? I mean, really, think about it... Your risking ONE DOLLAR! Cause every month you have to pay for your service, your not risking anything--cause you got the service, right? And did you have to sign a year commitment like D* and E* require? NO! Did...

DarrellP, I'll admit to being a newbie, and I'll admit to having a tendency to cut Voom some slack while things are ironed out. But I am watching Voom on my Panasonic AE700U on the same size screen as you, and I think it looks awesome. Watching WorldSport has made me a soccer fan. And I...

So what all local channels should we be getting now? Cause, for example, I thought I was getting something on 13, but I'm not getting anything on it now.

Well, after quite a few minutes of messing around, I did manage to finally get a 94, but it was back down under 90 as of last night. I think that one or two of the bolts aren't tight enough. I still have the Voom guy coming out tomorrow, and I'm confident that he will get my signal back up...

Thanks. I'm going to go give it a try right now... Wish me luck on regaining my 94! :D

I guess we had a little wind yesterday, cause my sat signal strength went from 94 to 61, and I'm not getting any Satellite channels right now. I called Voom and they are sending someone out on Monday, but I want to watch some stuff this weekend! My dish is not very high up, and I just wanted...

I've only had Voom a couple weeks and I just can't believe the great PQ. If it truly is as bad as you all say it is, I can't wait to see it when it's GOOD!!!! :D

Glad things are working out for you. It's too bad the first installer did such a poor job on the antenna installation, but I agree-as long as Voom continues to work on the issues, it would not be very fair to be unahppy with them. I have the "normal" antenna, I'm further than you (probably...

I agree with bob. Not that it can't get better, and I can only imagine how good it must've been a little while ago, but speaking as a noob, I can only say how fantastic the Voom service and PQ are for me right now. I'm almost afraid of what I might do if Voom gets as good as you guys make me...

I ain't complainin' [yet], but I have to admit that I'm still getting quite a few non-OTA channels that give me that "Call Voom to subscribe immediately" box, which, considering I am still in my first two months of the free Va-Va, has me a bit twitterpated. :( Oh well, no even counting the...

bobaphx, isn't that the truth??? I read a dozen threads on how crappy the PQ is on Voom, but every channel I look at makes me want to jump for joy!!!! I'm glad you had a good install. Tony ran into a couple snags at my place too--I can't even imagine what it would've been like if I wasn't...

jmd--ain't that the truth! The risk for signing up with Voom is so small--I'm just happy I found it before I settled for D* again... bobaphx, did you get your install yet? I'm curious to see how it went for you. I've seen posts here where install techs don't even completely set up the...

Well, I had a weird problem on my recievers--I was getting FOX on Ch10 and Ch12. The tech had me rescan for OTA channels and that cleared up that problem. As for channels 2,7,9,etc.--I just hid them, and now, it's like they're not there!

bobaphx, yes and yes, Tony is African American. RPacion, Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case. I just see all those towers on this other mountain, and wondered if they might be "helping"... But heck, I don't care how it works or where it's coming from--I'm Voomin' baby!!! ;)...
