    Yeah I only get it on Fox too. I'm not sure why Comcast isn't seeing it too. Maybe it's an OTA thing and Comcast is somehow getting their feed right from Fox Chicago somehow.

    Unfortunately, your decision is easy now. But seriously, I haven't had rain fade problems since last summer during some of the really bad storms. Otherwise it's been okay for me out here in the far western burbs.

    Ch. 32-1 Fox dropouts There are posts about this earlier in this thread. This has been going on for almost 2 months and it stinks! I'm not sure what the deal is. It happens on my TV's built-in tuner, so I don't think it's just the Voom receiver.

    Hey dodge, I am on the "northeast" side up by where 88 and 56 meet. It's good to know you get 70 signal. Mine is lower because I still just have the smaller Stealth antenna on the roof. Someday I may upgrade to a bigger one like a Winegard to see if it helps.

    The email from Installs Inc should have the name of the company listed on it that will be doing the install. Adant has been out to my house a couple times. It was very hit or miss. One time, they sent a guy that didn't know anything about Voom, and he refused to go up on my 2nd story roof...

    I am also seeing the dropouts on my Sony TV's built in tuner. So it may be a fox thing and not the Voom box.

    Wow, I thought it was just my setup, but I have been seeing the audio (and sometimes video) dropouts on Fox very recently. I wonder if it's the Voom receiver or if it's FOxChicago? I'll have to hook the antenna up to my TV's digital tuner again to see if I see it there. Adant called me back...

    Well, they blew me off and didn't show up today. I tried earlier this week to call, and left a message... No callback. I also emailed them last week... No reply. Ugggh.

    Cool. Which antenna did they put up for you?

    I had to reschedule my antenna upgrade because I couldn't get the day off of work. Wase, where are you located? How far out from the city are you?

    Well, I'm tired of not getting CBS-HD way out here, so I put a call into Voom to upgrade me to a bigger antenna. They say they'll send a tech out to assess the situation on Jan 3rd... We'll see what happens!

    The WBBM/CBS issue is not an easy one to fix. They are supposedly stuck with the channel 3 assignment which falls in the low VHF band. These signals are very susceptible to electrical noise which seems to kill the signal for me from time to time. I did see over at a local Chicago AV forum...

    I have actually had some pretty good luck with WBBM over the last few weeks and my little Stealth antenna on the roof. I had totally watchable NFL football games the last 2 weeks. :yes Some pixellation and quick dropouts here and there, but I can't complain (too much) for this station...

    Anyone in the burbs get an "upgraded" antenna? I am close to asking for one since football season is nearing and I'm only getting a watchable signal on CBS now about 50% of the time with the Stealth antenna. Which antenna is working for everyone who is 30+ miles out for CBS?

    Well wase, how did the install go? Did you get one of the good Adant guys, or one of the lousy ones?

    CHICAGO METRO AREA VOOM

    I am extremely picky about my audio/video equipment and how it's hooked up throughout my house. So I insisted on holding their hands through the setup of most everything. I let them climb on the roof to mount the dish, run cables down the house and ground everything. Once the cables came into...

    Ummm, if Adant doesn't install it, who will??? I had Buck and Les from Adant install my Voom system and they did a great job. I'm around 45 miles west of the city, and get all locals (with CBS being spotty sometimes) and never have sat breakups! The biggest problem I have is with rain fade...

    Blame Granny if your Favorite Local isn't Broadcasting in HD

    I'm guessing everyone prefers locals OTA, but many can't get them. So the next best thing is the sat providers carrying them!

    I had them run separate lines for everything without diplexers. My stealth antenna, because of this, requires a power source. I think the PQ is fine. I just had digital cable before, and Voom blows that away. I honestly don't watch any SD anymore. Pretty much all HD viewing now. I actually...

    Voom doesn't face the same way as DirecTV. It faces more SE. So hopefully you have line of sight for that. If you have the LOS from your existing installed equipment, they may be able to reuse it. It usually depends on who they send to do the install. Since reusing existing equip is less...

    Welcome wase! If you have a "taller" 2 story house, you may want to make sure they use a 40 foot ladder. That was the one thing that burned me with Adant the first time they came out to install my Voom system. Unless you have a lower area of your house accessible that has LOS to the...
