    I've been having hell troubles with the wife concerning the OTA & the recent blips in service. Makes it almost unwatchable and I have to unplug the STB then plug it back in. Supposedly there is a fix going to be downloaded. Hopefully when the guy comes back on Aug. 13th that my OTA probs will...

    I've given up after wasting about 3 hours and $600 dollars worth of open boxed antenna's from Bjorns, Radio Shack, & Innovations. LOL. I'm going to wait till I move I guess. Seems that in order to get these other channels I'm going to have to get a larger antenna, even though I'm so close...

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    Sometimes our first reactions are necessarily what really feel, it's frustration. It's just been seen so much on these forums (just from what I have read) that a lot of folks just get tired of seeing it. V* has it's down points for me after having it a week and most of those are around the...

    OTA HD local in an Apartment

    Hey Jon, Where you at here? Seems like it's almost impossible to be in a bermuda triangle in this town. Of course I say that and I live just a few miles from KENS & WOAI's tower and I can't get both of them at the same time, i have to angle my antenna to watch the different channels. GRR...

    Got installed finally. Everything went great, the installers were good and appeared to know exactly what was going on. My OTA probs are horrible where I'm at. Seems from here (the quarry) I have to move my antenna from SE to S depending on the channels. I think it's because of another...

    Getting sick of VOOM!!!

    I have D* and reliable HDTV is not always possible. I have sound issues with them at least twice a month. The sound track will be slightly off from the video. Now that doesn't sound like a big deal but trust me it is, especially when you have 3 watchable channels to choose from. Besides that...

    Some VOOM CSR's are TeleMarketers.

    I'm no expert on the matter, but I do live here near West and basically it's just a call center. Some outbound, some inbound. They aren't allowed to take your number and use it if you call for Voom. It's not really 'cheap' outsourcing, but it is extremely convenient when you don't want to...

    VOOM Customer Service Representatives

    Probably the only thing I can comment on so far, at least until I get installed. The guy I talked to was great. Good info, knowledgeable as could be, he sounded a little new. Didn't slow anything down though. So far so good!

    Rainbow Media Unveils DIVINE HD First Ever 24/7 High-Definition Gay Movie Channel Exc

    I contacted them via the link on their site to gripe about this. Of all the talk around here about adding some new HD programming they reach straight out to the nitch market eh? WTF am I going to watch there? To whom ever likes to swing that way, congratulations! The other 90% of us are...

    *update* Talked to the Digital Direct peeps out of Houston and they should be here the 7th now. Said that the equipment was running behind the install date and had to reschedule. Did they change your date as well?

    What to go with? Voom or DirecTV

    D* just this month shot his next bird up. The focus has been 100% on locals, and Rupert is a notorious anti-hd guy. I agree with these guys. I've been a long time D* subscriber and have had nothing introduced in 2 years that is new (HD wise). I did get the NFL channel and WE I think in SD...

    VOOM and Audio dropouts galore...

    Check your new equation to this situation. Be sure to rule out the audio link on your new reciever. Plug a DVD player into the same optical input and try that out as well. Also try digital coax instead of optical, i've had better luck and there is absolutely no performance loss, maybe, from a...

    Just signed up for Voom

    He's a notorious "HI!" & "BYE!" kind of coach isn't he. I think his goal is to coach for every NBA team there is.

    Picture fuzzy to viewers

    Yes, a long, long time ago, and I never thought I would defend him BUT...He is the most vocal promoter for HD programming there is currently.
