    DIRECTV rolls-out 4 more major DMAs with MPEG-4 LIL HD

    I called on 12/8 and the system was down. My northern VA install is scheduled for 12/27, installs are running at least 2 weeks out for the HD upgrade here.

    Where oh where is ESPN2-HD?

    Why don't they do what they do with the NBA games and show the ESPN2HD content on the 90's (former ST channels) when there is an HD game? "Tilt" doesn't count of course...

    Sunday Ticket on Voom?

    My Sunday Ticket is in HD for all of the games that CBS and Fox carry in HD, all the rest are in SD. My understanding is D* is the exclusive provider through 2006 and the exclusive Sat provider through 2007.

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Have you checked to see at what power and transmitter height the stations you are trying to receive are broadcasting at? Many stations are still broadcasting digitally at very low power. If your networks are only broadcasting at 1 or 2 kW, then the range of your antenna doesn't really matter.

    OK, boys and girls, here (isn't) the software news we have all been waiting for

    I was waiting patiently every night for the software fairy to visit my stb, thinking it was the only way I was going to be able to watch all of the OTA in my area. Over the weekend, I did not get the update BUT my OTA mapping was fixed and I am now mapped for all the channels that are...

    OTA INSTALLATION POLL: How many attempts did it take your installer(s)?

    I have 2 stb's and I am using Voom's (Winegard) multiswitch and the diplexer. I get everything I am mapped for that I SHOULD realistically get on both stb's. My OTA problem is mapping.

    VOOM in Oklahoma

    I live in Stillwater and I had Morris do my install as well. They also did my antenna upgrade. I also have a Mitsu TV. I use the component cables from the Voom box to my Yamaha receiver and then out to my TV (lets me hook up my Xbox as well). If you have an older Mitsu (mine is 2000) the HDTV...

    "Auto-Pay " : mandatory?

    I talked to three different CSR's/Supervisors about this today. I said that the billing system is pretty ridiculous and the first CSR agreed with me. My bill date has been the 29th, the 14th, and they tell me next month it will be the 5th. My bill date is tomorrow and I have yet to receive a...

    Finding your OTA Mapping Online

    Exactly, I live on the edge of both the Oklahoma City and Tulsa DMA's. I am in the OKC DMA by 7 miles and am only mapped to those stations (which ZAP2it does not have correct either). I am okay with the DMA I am in because I only watch the OKC stations anyway, but I know most of you that live...

    Component Cables Supplied by Voom

    I had some real problems with the component cables supplied by Voom. I used them to hook up my progressive scan DVD to my DVD inputs on my Mitsu. Picture was intermittent when using those cables. I went back to my acoustic research cables and everything was great. The component cables I got...

    VOOM Channels are OLD!!

    Soccer is about the only sport in the U.S. that the big networks haven't invested billions of dollars in exclusive rights and marketing campaigns. Soccer is pretty much their only choice unless you would like to see Cricket or Lacrosse.

    My OTA Rights

    If it is the S2000, it is amplified. Most of the Prostar series is amplified as well. Here are a few things to consider regarding OTA reception: Your local stations may be broadcasting digitally, but at what power? For example, I have two local stations that are mapped that I do not receive in...

    Have you been told...? (By CSR OTA mapping not possible because FCC...)

    I also get the 8-15, I can overlook that if I get my other channels mapped.

    Have you been told...? (By CSR OTA mapping not possible because FCC...)

    More OTA/CSR issues... I live in the Oklahoma City area and have had V* for almost a month. I received an upgraded Winegard antenna (S2000) when I was installed which did a good job of bringing in my locals (44 miles away). The local ABC affiliate is bradcasting on low power, so I requested to...
