    OTA Signal Strong but Not Displaying on TV

    My OTA signal strength for my local channels has only been in the low 80's, still I'm surprised that I'm not receiving any channels. Additionally all of my locals are showing in my programming guide so I don't think there is a mapping issue. When I was using my old Mits / Hughes DTV...

    If you are gonna change any packages do it NOW!!!!!

    What any one person thinks about Voom's pricing structure is irrelevant (including myself). I say this because it's the voice of the market that will determine Voom's long term pricing structure. I have no problem whatsoever with Voom charging as much as the market will bear. Voom is a...

    If you are gonna change any packages do it NOW!!!!!

    Ilya makes a great point. As the premiere provider of HD programming Voom is in the position to charge more than their competitors.

    Took the plunge and ordered Voom

    I have an apartment, and I intially was going to have my dish pole mounted. So I bought a tripod from Rat Shack ($23.00) and went to Home Depoet and picked up a fence pole ($8.00). However, my installer suggested attaching the dish to the railing via a U-Bolt. My apartment complex is okay...

    Discovery HDT + Voom Originals = worth $23/month?

    Lostcause makes a great point that I think many of fellow members forget...there are risks associated with being an early adopter.

    Voom and the OTA antenna

    Yeah...some installers ARE still using the Stealth. I had Voom installed two weeks ago, and the installed the Sensar. I have not picked up a single HD signal with this antenna despite the fact I am less than 15 miles from all the stations. I called Voom and requested the Square Shooter as...

    Upgraded OTA Antenna, what type & Range?

    I currently do not receive any OTA channels, so I called Voom to schedule an appointment for an upgrade. Currently I have the Winegard Sensar, and an inspection of the installers work reveals that he did install the antenna correctly. But here is my problem, I live in an apartment with line...

    Sears and Voom

    You know I shopped at Fry's regularly when I lived in Arizona, and I loved the place. They sold a variety of low to mid end products, and had a much broader product selection than BB.

    Sears and Voom

    First of all Vurbano, let me say that I totally agree with you regarding Compusa. I also hate their return policy; returning something at Compusa is like receiving a simultaneous root canal and rectal exam! :eek: But on the other hand, the traffic that I have seen whenever I have browsed...

    Sears and Voom

    I agree Nowhereman, but as I stated earlier I realize that the level of customer service is not necessarily better at BB or CC vs Sears. My point is that there does not appear to be any "synergy" between Voom and Sears. Voom is attempting selling an electronic product, IMHO Sears is not the...

    Its July 1, 2004 and no software.

    Look, I'm just as frustrated as many of you regarding Voom's ongoing issues. However, these are the barriers that must be overcome when starting up a new company. If you are tired of waiting for the problems to be fixed, then cancel your service and go back to D*, E*, or cable. No one would...

    Sears and Voom

    What I cannot understand is why Voom would want to partner with Sears in the first place?? Wouldn't Best Buy or Circuit City have been a better choice than Sears? I'm not saying that the level of customer service is signficantly better at BB or CC vs Sears, but the majority of people...

    Picture seems to glimmer

    Conjuror I will be the first to admit that Voom has issues. While it's frustrating, it is to be expected that there are going to be growing pains associated with Voom becoming a mature business entity. So, you either accept the fact that Voom is going through some issues or cancel your...

    [VOOM] Why do we need duplicate channels wasting bandwidth?

    Madpoet makes a good point, you don't exhaust resources purchasing content that you have no intent of using. Yes maximizing bandwidth is important, but it shouldn't be done at the expense of Voom's liquidity. If Voom wants to be a long term player in the satellite industry, then exhausting...

    VOOM OTA Mapping Problems? (Channels listed are not as expected)

    Sean, I just had Voom installed last week, and like many others my OTA mapping is incorrect. I live in Houston, TX and my zip is 77006. I am missing the following channels. KUHDT 8.1 KHOUDT 11.1 KTRKDT 13.1 & 13.2 KTXKDT 20.1 KRIVDT 26.1 KHWBDT 39.1 I have been able to pick up...

    Diplexor must be installed because of powered antenna? (Depends on antenna model)

    I have read through this long post...twice as I was really confused about the diplexor issue. I have to admit, I have a greater understanding regarding diplexors than I did when I started reading this thread. Message to Sat4Me, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and...

    Why haven't companies jumped all over HD?

    Dylos I agree that it would seem to benefit companies to produce HD commercials. But the simple fact that it is not occurring with great regularity tells me that many companies believe that the costs of producing commericals in HD outweigh the benefits. I really believe it goes back to the...

    I'm glad I ran across this thread because I thought I was losing my mind while watching EquatorHD. Portion of the picture would, for lack of a better word, "shimmer". It's very distracting!!
