    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    Dvr?????? What good is an HD DVR if you don't have the programming for it? You may have an HD DVR with Dish or DirecTV, but you don't have the massive choices of HD programming like Voom offered. Programming versus DVR?? I go with programming. Who cares if I can record it in HD. I just want to...

    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    Amen to that brother.... Voom was a great service and was never outdone on it's HD channel offerings during it's short life. It seems that now HD programming is rare these days and in too short supply. I miss all those HD offerings. The thing that really ticked me about Voom was all of those...

    Voom Pitches HD Nets

    Multiple commercials for Voom........ Tonight while at work I've noticed that there are multiple commercials for different Voom channels. Equator, Rush, Rave, and WorldSport each had their own commercial for Voom. I didn't see any other commercials for the other channels, but I'm sure this will...

    Voom Pitches HD Nets

    New Voom commercial available at Wal-mart....... I work for a living as an Electronics Associate in Wal-mart. Daily I'm barraged with Wal-mart TV showing everything from music artists to movies to everyday items in a 15 minute loop 24/7. Anyways, I hear "Voom HD Originals" and happen to look up...

    No sound on OTA channels

    The best for UHF out there..... The best for UHF HD stations out there is an 8-bay antenna. This will pull in most stations. It's also a good idea to get a pre-amp for further boosting of the signal performance on your antenna. A final thing would be a rotor. This would allow you to peak signal...

    Question

    Caller ID function does indeed work...... The Caller ID function is part of the phone line jack input only. It was never coming from the satellite at all. I've got two receivers that still display the caller ID information anytime someone calls me.

    Firing Up My Old Voom Stb For Ota Hd Locals

    Good use out of both of mine..... I've been enjoying my two boxes ever since I first got them. Even though Voom's been shut down for 2 months now, I'm still using them for my local channels out of two different DMAs. They even come in handy with Dxing when weather conditions permit longer...

    Other Voom content - TMC-HD, MAX-HD, STARZ-HD

    They probably don't have contracts yet with the companies involved..... At the time that Rainbow-1 was taken under control by Dish Network, Dish Network probably didn't have any contracts with the companies that own these channels to distribute them. Of course they have contracts on the SD...

    Help with locals scan

    Affirmative....... Make sure you inquire about the receiver thoroughly. Make sure it was active after Voom shutdown. Make sure it had all the latest updates before they shutdown so you can scan in your local channels(I read about a guy who got ripped off on this feature and could only get what...

    Help with locals scan

    With DVI there is absolutely no signal conversion..... With Component video, you're converting from a digital signal to an analog one. Not significant difference in quality unless you are watching the picture on a Plasma, LCD, or DLP television and not a CRT or CRT projection. CRT's show a high...

    Thanks Bryan...... Sometimes I don't have my facts quite in order. Thanks for bringing me up to date on the info.

    Help with locals scan

    OHMs....... sorry to break this to you, but there is no way of inputting sub-channels. That is those channels that come in order numerically (13.1,13.2,13.3,etc.) Everyone around here I know has tried to figure this out to no avail. On other satellite receivers, I've heard that you can do this...

    Help with locals scan

    Maybe this will help....... If you know the location of the affiliate and their transmitter, go to this website from the FCC. It tells the both the analog and the digital frequency of any channel out there. http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/tvq.html By the way, when searching for channels...

    It's yours

    Voom Receiver Project coming to close after little progress with website, etc..... Since I have had the website for a few weeks now, I have clearly made little progress with it due to having to give my time away to other things, work, family, etc. Since my time is very precious and I have very...

    No final Statement?

    Another use....... Receivers are also great for watching digital on your old analog television sets and will probably be extra useful in a few years when the FCC decision to end analog becomes official.

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    I would hope they keep AMC-6 transponers....... With talk of Dish Network having partial ownership (small percentage from what I've heard) to the channels, it may be the sole distributor of the channels. I would seriously doubt that this would happen, but there has been no news in relation to...

    traffic on this forum beginning to dwindle??

    It seems like there are fewer threads and replies being posted on this forum, since it has already been 25 days since the demise of Voom. Does that mean that changes are in store for this forum? I know that there was talk about eliminating this forum in favor of having one dedicated solely to...

    One last Voom statement?

    Question........ Since the final statements will be delayed until June now, will the CSR's still be there to answer any questions concerning the final statements? I was informed before shutdown that the final statements would be released this month and that the CSR's would be there throughout...

    Is my receiver worth anything?

    like I said....... I wouldn't try it if I had an already active receiver. However, if you buy a dud off of Ebay, it wouldn't hurt to try and see if it would work. What have you got to lose except maybe your patience?

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    It's worth a shot....... The only part of this receiver worth having is the OTA tuner for HD channels. It's only worth 100 dollars because there is no guide data support enabled via the PSIP like the boxes you can buy for twice that much. The reason it would be nice to get the satellite...

    Is my receiver worth anything?

    Try this........ This came from a website by Ultatryon. This source claims he used to work for Voom. By the way he talks, this simulates a hit to the receiver. Pull out your nds smart card and unplug your ird for exactly 10 minutes no longer re boot and while booting add card this will auto...

    Does anyone have an update on Final Statement?

    The question is......... How soon is soon? We've been hearing soon for the past 3 weeks since the shutdown of Voom. The month will be over with in T-11 days. My father contacted Voom on the last day of service and he was informed that CSR's would be there throughout the month of May to answer...

    FYI, The old voom box CAN receive E*!

    The Nagravision wouldn't be necessary for FTA..... Nagravision does not exist with FTA. Nagravision is a scrambler or encrypter for channels not in the clear. These channels are illegal to obtain anyway without having the right equipment and paying the subscription costs for them as well. In...
