You can say that again :(

Just wanted to say I am pissed about this uproar with dish and cablevision over voom. I think its all a scan to get everyone to move to dish. I called dish tonight and said I just wanted the voom HD channels and that is all. Thats all I ever cared about and that all TV really is HD. Anyway they...

Well my phone line isn't hooked up but thats because I use VoiP so I can't really hook it up. Does anyone know if Voom is going to require a phone line being connected? I really hope not because that isn't possible for me. Thank you, Dan

I have also noticed this since the software upgrade. This reminds me of whatever version I was on when I first got voom in April. I would get lockups all the time, then 6.20 came out and all issues resovled. Now this new version it locks up all the time. My signal is great 88+. Also I have...

Well depending on the channel I get anywhere between low and high 90's in clear weather. During rain its mid 80's on most channels. It went out once yesterday during a huge amount of hail so thats all good I wouldn't expect it to work then. It got to the 30's then, but a little after it had...

Hmm, well thats wierd the guy came yesterday all the way from Tocoma which is about 1.5 hours away from where I am. Not sure which company he was with, but was a much nicer person that the guy before. He got me all setup with 88 signal strength in light rain which is wonderful considering with...

Hello, Well voom said they will have Installs INC come out this time. Before it was Direct Broadcast Satellite Center, Inc. So hopefully that would work. I want to go up on my roof, but I don't have a ladder that can get up that high. I want to one in the future just not right now. Hopefuly...

Hello, Ok I have had about enough of these installers. Guy comes at 5:15 today to install a 24" dish because I get rain fade even when it is hardly raining. Anyway he gets it installed and now my signal is between 71 and 76. It was 86-88 before. He wanted to leave so it just left it at that...

Im not quite sure what antenna it was other than it was about 12 feet long or so. As for just getting the local channels from the cable company. I thought about that and it was like $13 a month, but directv gave me a great deal for 6 months so I figured there were other channels that directv has...

Hello, After waiting for about a month to get a massive antenna installed the guy finally came out to do it. Well the sad thing is nothing is going to work to get me local channels with voom. There is a large hill between me and the stations so nothing is going to help me out. Anyway the guy...

I have also seen this on Discovery HD, and maybe even other HD channels. Turning off the receiver and back on seems to fix the problem though. Maybe the next software update will fix this as I didn't see this before the last update.

Hello, This new software update is awesome. Before I was getting low to mid 20's for signal and could hardly watch anything because it was breaking up so bad. I was going to call Voom today, but desided to see if I got the new update. Well now my signal is high 70's low 80's and I am not...

Yeah I will try giving them a call later today. So is there any possibility of having the installer setup another box without having to pay the $199 because they are comming out anyway to install the antenna? Thank you, Dan

Hey all, got my Voom installed a couple weeks ago and had a couple of questions. So it worked fine great when I got it installed and everything no problems. My signal was in the high 20's though. Now though my signal is in the low 20's and goes into the teens and picture and sound is breaking up...
