I just called and found this problem can be fixed by using the point dish & check switch procedure. After the reset I do have the locals back on the guide. Yeaaahhhh.

I will be very disappointed if that is the case. I have had my local channels on the program guide for the past two months with the 211 receiver. Prior to that I had the local channel info with my privious receiver for about a couple years.

I see there was a software update this week. Let me call them again.....

I have been receiving the over the air channels into my dish vip 211 box for the past couple of months. This has allowed HD channel reception on all my locals that are broadcasting. Within the past couple of days the program information has stopped being available on all my local channels. The...

voom is done Now that Voom is giving up, how do the other satellite companies compare for HD programming? Any chance the Voom box will continue to work for the local channels? I'm soooo bummed... dave

I did notice that also yesterday or monday I believe.

Is anybody able to get WTIC channel 61 lately. I haven't been able to pick up anything lately. Were they hit by the storm? dave

Good news Voomers, I called Voom last night to complain about the recent pixilization I have been seeing. They told me that a few people have been seeing this since the last firmware was downloaded. They had me do a soft reset and that fixed the picture problem. As part of this new firmware...

It was me Madpoet. When they get done with your install send them over to my house. Since the last firmware update I have been seeing a lot freeze ups. They were waiting for the new software to come out before they replace the old boxes but it looks like a necessity. I tried to call to get...

Interesting. I've never been able to get them with my Voom setup.

You should give Channel 8 a try. They seem to have their act together in the HD/Digital arena. They do seem to cover most of Connecticut quite well.

I did get some info from WTIC that the FCC is allowing them to operate at full power but a temporary height of the antenna at the site. The landlord of the site is going to make the changes to the height but it may take about a year for that :(

It was a channel master with the remote, et al. I'd have to check for exact model if needed.
