    over the air channels using program guide

    I just called and found this problem can be fixed by using the point dish & check switch procedure. After the reset I do have the locals back on the guide. Yeaaahhhh.

    over the air channels using program guide

    I will be very disappointed if that is the case. I have had my local channels on the program guide for the past two months with the 211 receiver. Prior to that I had the local channel info with my privious receiver for about a couple years.

    Good news Voomers, I called Voom last night to complain about the recent pixilization I have been seeing. They told me that a few people have been seeing this since the last firmware was downloaded. They had me do a soft reset and that fixed the picture problem. As part of this new firmware...

    Improvement Wish List for Voom

    The weather channel(408) shows the local weather every 10 minutes on the 8's. On cable systems this local weather is actual local weather for the nearest city. On Voom this is a generic local weather with all large cities in North America. I would hope Voom would be able to use the local...

    It was me Madpoet. When they get done with your install send them over to my house. Since the last firmware update I have been seeing a lot freeze ups. They were waiting for the new software to come out before they replace the old boxes but it looks like a necessity. I tried to call to get...

    You should give Channel 8 a try. They seem to have their act together in the HD/Digital arena. They do seem to cover most of Connecticut quite well.

    I did get some info from WTIC that the FCC is allowing them to operate at full power but a temporary height of the antenna at the site. The landlord of the site is going to make the changes to the height but it may take about a year for that :(

    It was a channel master with the remote, et al. I'd have to check for exact model if needed.
