    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    No problem here today and it snowed all day. I lost signal once in a snow storm and that was when the wind switched around and came up out of the southeast for a time - caked the dish completely. You'd know if this was the case for you if you continue to receive OTA channels but nothing off...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I'm a bit north of you (on the South Shore) but my installer came from RI. My installer was Julius, a fantastic Romanian guy that I would highly recommend. He works for Installs Inc. He came to my house in the middle of a snow storm for my install in Dec of '03 but I sent him home because I...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I believe my OTA problems are due to a malfunctioning powered stealth antenna. I'm going to have it checked out based on this hunch.

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    No change here - OTA channels still missing I'm still hurting. I get nothing on any local channel except 7.1 right now (2:30 PM on 2/26). I can't get channel 25 which used to come in fine. I can't get any of the Providence channels either on which I was getting great reception. I have a rotor...

    Now I only get channel 7.1??? Magically channel 7.1 reappeared two nights ago. Unfortunately now all other OTA channels that I used to get (and I got about 23 of them) are all missing in action. Anyone else missing channels or is my problem unique? Thanks for any replies.

    Same here :mad: And how come after I hide a channel like the deadly 5.2 does it always manage to unhide itself automatically? Tune to it and the box freezes up.

    Thanks for the info. VOOM's exclusive channels do have repetitive content but it is worth checking out the program guide online just to see if your particular interests are covered. Personally I find WorldSport's coverage of La Primera Liga to be worth the whole price of VOOM. I really enjoy...

    Nope. I called VOOM and they said I wasn't elligible.

    Massachusetts Voomers 7-2?

    I did a channel scan and got 7-2 to show up in the program guide last week but no picture. I tried again today to rescan in an attempt to get it for the Olympics but this time I got no signal at all. My program guide for 7-2 still lists all of the Olympic events and shows that would have...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I was receiving 56 tonight no problem. However, for the past few weeks I haven't been getting channel 4 nor 25. Anyone else? I was hoping we'd get channel scanning soon so I could scan for these channels and perhaps avoid another round of tweaking my antenna.

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I'm not an engineer, just another VOOM customer. The "microstutter" issue is found in numerous threads here. You can find an analysis here - http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=18894&highlight=microstutter Apparently there is a timecode issue which causes a frame to be displayed for...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    There is a new software upgrade in the works (has been for a few months) which will allow us to scan for channels so that we can get all of those channels not mapped by VOOM. The date has changed many times for this update. The software is supposed to correct the "microstutter" problem others...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    . To confirm, the local stations I've listed as unmapped are ones that antennaweb suggests I could get but the VOOM onscreen guide doesn't know about them and doesn't list them. To get the most channels to come in I had to tweak my antenna a bit and found even a slight rotation was the...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Zoom = PBS kids show, VOOM = Satellite TV Service :) I'm located on the South Shore. I don't get all of the stations listed in the VOOM on screen guide. Here's an updated list of what I get: My list of locals: 2.1 - WGBHDT---------->OK 2.2 - WGBHDT2--------->OK 2.3 - WGBHDT3--------->Not...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    It doesn't bother me that much but it would be worth at least letting VOOM know that zap2it's listings are all wrong. I'll send a note to VOOM and after a few of us complain maybe it'll get on somebody's list to remedy.

    How does your OTA install look?

    Jarek: FWIW, I moved my Stealth antenna from an exterior roof mount to inside my attic. This actually improved my signal strength (the original location was not at all optimal). If you have an attic then you have another alternative.

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Interesting. I get a channel 5.2 but it is always a weather map but has the audio for 5.1. I have never had reception on 7.2 but it is in my channel map.

    I'm on the South Shore. Tim Rudolph is a bit closer to town and he's a moderator here so maybe he'll chime in. My install was done by Installs Inc., the installer was based out of Rhode Island. I don't know who you may get where you are but Installs did a fine job for me. There are plenty of...
