    Service Call in Cincinnati: A Tale of Woe

    Finally good news. The installer arrived at 11 AM (instead of the promised 9 AM) but this time he was prepared. Had read up on the installation..used the same strategy the TYORK suggested in this forum. Replaced the switch on the roof. Removed the new multiswitch that he had installed in the...

    Thanks Tyork. I guess the challenge will be to explain all this to the installer. Wish me luck for tomorrow. As much as I can see the humor in all this, it is starting to wear thin now.

    Service Call in Cincinnati: A Tale of Woe

    I had read about all the issues with installation at Voom but thought most of them were exagerrated. My original install was flawless. But my recent experience is a story in itself: Satellite went out on the 24th Dec snowstorm. Serive called for PM of the 29th. Early morning on the 29th...
