    What about purchased receivers??

    Many cable companies will give you $400-$500 for a box if you switch. No need tell me hell with cable! It's might be a viable option for some...

    Comcast HD replacing my VaVaBoom I guess I'll be spending more of my time in here now that Voom is nearly over. I'll keep my service as long as it stays up, but I went ahead and signed up for service in Coppell. Really good deal going too... $29.95 for Gold package (2 movie channels)...

    VOOM Channel Lineup Card

    I'm splitting the OTA signal before it enters the Voom box. I use my own diplexer, instead of the one that the installer is sent. I take the second OTA feed and let the TIVO run off that. I then program the TIVO to accept both Voom over s-video and OTA analog. For me the OTA analog is very...

    The PQ is back, the love is back

    I have not seen any or relatively little improvement in any of the channels I watch. The motion artifacts are horrible.

    Have WealthHD made it into your favorites?

    Feel free to ignore this post; I just needed to rant. >>>> I say, give the bandwidth back to channels that deserve it. In fact I would like to get rid of half of the SD channels, but almost everyone seems so happy to get more channels. If they turn into an E*/D* with less quality and a...

    A friend of mine needs your help!!!

    You have to call Voom to re-init the box. I think the channels you are allowed to receive are dependent on the box/card. If Voom thinks you shouldn't receive a channel you won't. I had it happen once or twice already. It won't fix itself until Voom automatically updates their database or...

    HELP - STB Channel Surf/Picture Freeze/Installation menu N/A..

    This issue now happens on both of my receivers. I also disconnected one receiver and did not get a reset on the other after 2-3 hours period. But after reading about someone else comment that this occurs on single receiver setups, I'm going to connect my second receiver back up.

    TIVO reported channels From what I can tell TIVO reports the following new channels 321 NBCDT NBC Digital Feed 593 WVIT NBC Affiliate 594 KNSD NBC Affiliate I must have been dreaming about seeing the other national networks. As for the rest of the stations, no other new...

    Reset 3 times a day

    I'm in Dallas, so I think the new channels and SuperDMA occurred at the same time. So I wouldn't be able to isolate if it was one or the other. My previous overheating problem had me thinking, with the new encoders being applied, our hardware might be working harder in certain situations...

    VOOM Channel Lineup Card

    When I get back home I'll list the new channels TIVO is reporting, but the national feeds are VOOM sat channels, not OTA. But maybe no one is receiving them yet. There are a couple of other channels which no one has listed yet either, but I didn't remember what they were. I know what ever...

    Reset 3 times a day

    If anyone is at home now, try disconnecting all but one box. I believe it is due to the software improperly communicating with the switch. With two or more boxes on the switch, things are going haywire. If the switch is incorrectly configuring the circular polarization... 1) It can tune...

    Are the national feeds only available to certain subscribers? Should I be able to get them?

    HELP - STB Channel Surf/Picture Freeze/Installation menu N/A..

    I see this issue on one receiver and not the other. Both are using the same software. Not sure if SuperDMA is being used on both boxes. How can you tell? I wonder if this only happens to those with multiple receivers. I had a similar issue back on my old E* equipment. It had something...

    VOOM Channel Lineup Card

    I recently had to go through updating the channels on my TIVO, and it shows several other channels that it thinks Voom is delivering, which I can't pick up. The most interesting is national feeds of ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. I think the stations were HD. Can anyone actually receive these?

    Reset 3 times a day

    Just called Voom, they want to come out and switch out the box. As long as that works, I'll be happy.

    Reset 3 times a day

    I see this issue on one box but not on the other. It happens to occur on the one connected to my TIVO, which means I've recorded a bunch of static images. I've only seen this issue since the new channels appeared. I wonder if this only occurs on those that have multiple boxes. I had a...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I'm seeing interleaving errors in most of the SD and HD channels. It was particularly bad on USA and Universal HD the last couple of days. Its like they improperly deinterlace (3:2 down/upconversion issue), compress, transmit and then deinterlace for 1080i. So the output frames appear to be...

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    I had MetroTech come back and move the antenna and dish. All now works fine. Also before having the dish moved, I found that I was getting severe rain fade even with a slight drissle using the larger dish. Since the move, this too seems to have been solved, even during the heavy rains...

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    New Voomer in Dallas area since 10/20/04. Everything has gone well with my install and I've been really impressed with the Metro installer. I have experienced a couple of problems, one major one I did not catch during the install. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem...
