That sounds like an affordable proposition considering the fact that Voom boxes are going for $40 or less on ebay. However, how would this be affected by the problems mentioned above, ie attenuation, multipath, ghosting, etc?

Currently, I still have my Voom box hooked up for OTA tuning. I am curious about how to put up another OTA antenna facing the opposite direction in order to pick up another market's set of stations. According to antennaweb I am within range. Since the Voom dish is still connected and the cable...

Hey everybody, hope this hasn't already been posted, took a look but didn't see anything. Went to the mailbox today and found a letter sent out by Voom talking about a drop in prices for mirror boxes. Price going from $14.50 to $5.00 a box, and they are offering a 2 room install for $49. In...

Just curious, but if the FCC turns down the 61.5 satellite sale to E*, does that basically mean Chuck Dolan gets a free satellite out of his purchase of Voom since it belongs to Voom?

I noticed it too. It looks good but you can really see it in the floor when the camera pans across court. The still shots look great though.

I know not a huge deal, but I just wanted to pass along what I saw in a local mall. There was a Dell computer island set up in the middle of the walk way like they always do, and they had 2 LCD displays pumping Voom infomercials. I asked the sales people if they were still actively selling Voom...

To: Mr. Charles Dolan VOOM/Cablevision 01/24/2005 Dear Mr. Dolan, Honestly, the day (if ever) that Voom goes dark I will probably cry myself to sleep. It has been such a great ride so far I don't want it to end. I have had so many hours of HD enjoyment now that I can't even imagine...

ok my download has finished but i dont see any major changes. am i going crazy and delirious from watching this late nite olympics coverage? or did my s/w version actually change. here is what it reads from the system status screen: current software version: V00.01.20 HAL version...

p.s. luckily i have dishnet as well so i can watch this or id be really upset!

In the middle of some really kewl badminton olympics coverage (no that isnt sarcasm its actually kewl to watch) my reciever reset and went into a software download. not sure yet what version will pop up, but im 99% sure we were already on the 6.20. didnt see any reports of a new version coming...

just a note: seeing them in Davis, CA (outside of Sacramento)

if only the local area viewers are supposed to get the new fox stations why does it list them in zap2it when you input ur zipcode? btw, USA up here but no on the RSNs and no NFL

has anyone ever considered.... the possibility that more stations do not take the HD plunge because there isnt enough existing bandwidth for the DBS/cable companies to broadcast their new stations? what I mean is.... as far as I know.... Voom is currently close to maxed, D* is currently...

Target Software V. 1.10? Sorry if this has been addressed in the sticky thread about the new software but I don't feel like looking through a million pages to see. My target software version in system settings lists version 1.10. Is that what the target has been saying for version 6.10? I'm...

correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 99% of us get Voom because as of this very second Voom has the most HD and no contract? "this second" means: right now. no speculation. no conjecture. simple addition and mathematics. barring future changes. "most HD" means: most channels and broadest...

I'm in Davis, CA so I'm coming at the area from a different direction than you. How much was your setup, and let me know if you get it running please! :)

hmm according to antennaweb I'm 67.7 miles from KRON and a bunch of other SF Bay Area locals. Is there an antenna solution that would allow me to pick up these stations? How would that work with my existing OTA setup? I wouldn't mind spending a little cash to get some good additional OTA...

I wish I could really trade with all of you out there that aren't getting your locals. I dont think Ive watched more than 15 minutes of any of my local stations, which are all mapped properly. Hence, I am one happy Voomer. The bugs in the box dont really bother me all that much, certainly not...

I have both dishnet and voom active and my tv can display both at the same time split screen, which is a real fun feature. In a side by side comparison I would say that Voom definitely has better SD picture quality. There are SOME exceptions, but on the whole I was really impressed out of the...

lol yeah... when he first got here she was sitting in his truck.... and we went outside to survey where the dish would go.... he says, "btw my daughter is here with me, shes out of school for the summer, would it be a problem if she helps me out?" of course I said yes. besides that he also...

Well, I've got to say I was quite worried coming into the installation, and there were definitely some unorthodox things about it (installer brought his 8 yr old daughter along), but it turned out ok! Sat strength seems strong, OTA strength as well, and im very impressed with the PQ so far...

I'm glad you had a good experience with your installation. I'm sure a lot of other people have experienced the same. I'm hoping this post ends up less as a complaint of the situation, but more how to work through a difficult time that some MAY experience. I'm rooting hard for Voom to succeed...

UPDATE: after playing phone tag for a few days I finally got a rescheduled day for my Voom install! It sounds pretty solid that my installer will come out and he sounded actually honestly apologetic that we hadn't gotten this done earlier. OK so next Friday the 24th is my day! Only 6 weeks after...

I really, really, really, REALLY wish I could get into hype mode again, eagerly anticipating InHD1/2 or something new and cool at the least. However, judging from past events I'm gonna go w/ a 99% sure bet that they dont give us anything good tomorrow besides EquatorHD. Here's hoping that EQHD...

well it looks like the planets and stars have not yet fallen into the proper alignment, just got my fateful call letting me know the installer is behind and will have to reschedule again. he said he was just leaving for his second job and its about 3 pm... first install took 7 hours? SIGH :(...
