Problem fixed (for now with a patch) MANY thanks to Gary S. from Detroit Public Television who kept in touch with me via email about this and did find an issue with the DTV stream caused by the TV Guide data mux that was added recently. They have patched it for now till it can be fixed...

heck ill just disconnect the combiner swith and try a straight line to and from voom box with this winegard antenna they gave me (looks like a big bird) I am gonna modify the mount here to just have the antenna arm (no dish) outside here... Just today it started snowing again yuck... Once I...

My old setup was full voom with dish and OTA HD antenna, voom is long gone and this was packed up in garage for a while, but we recently moved and i thought why not hook up just the box & antenna for some voom local ota hd since at the last place it still worked for OTA after voom went under...

I did write to them will see if i get a reply, I am guessing it has to do something with an ajustment they made, worst case I just hide the channel and check it once a week or something, just wondered if I was the only one with this happening (was hoping another local detroit area voom ota user...

I have my voom box still hooked up and it gets local HDTV fine, did a recent scan again for new channels (mounted antenna higher) found quite a few new ones, all is good, except when i get to one channel 56-1 HD here in Michigan which is a PBS channel that before the scan I was getting fine in...

Got a PNP3 unit free (AR) from compusa, but need a dock for it, was considering just getting the SIRBB3 boombox thing and using it in the house (in place of the home dock) is there any disadvantage to doing this? Will the boombox antenna work as well as the home dock antenna? To me it...

I wonder if this pnp2 home dock will work with that pnp3 unit? If not maybe someone on ebay could use the docks (as I doubt both docks are bad probably just the main head unit). That is a pretty cool deal tho for sure... Thanks for the info, Bill :)

Audiovox Sirius Repair Help? NEW unit but "appears" to be DOA??? Talking about Sirius that I just bought and how I wanted to get another I have a neighbor/friend who bought an Audiovox older PNP2 unit about 2 yrs ago & they never opened it or even turned it on etc! I was going to just take them...

I bought the radio shack sportster deal today $79 with a $50 mail in rebate, haven't activated it yet, was wondering once I activate this one, if I buy another one for sis, can I add that on as a second unit and still get the rebate on that second unit - or will they say no rebate since it was...

I am about to move, currently on roof I have an old voom dish with top mounted antenna for ota hd, still works for ota hd stuff and I still use it daily. Once I move i will be in a new area and was gonna just rig up somehow/mount just the ota antenna on a pole/mast outside, vs putting the...

I like the look and design of both the jvc sr1000 and sr2000 for sirius service. Can anyone tell me what makes a radio like the sr1000 become a clearance item and what makes the sr2000 newer or better? In other words what benefit does a newer model have over an older one in terms of...

I am seriously considering sirius, have a few questions hoping you all in the know can help on. If I buy the unit and activate it, can I buy a second unit and have it activated under my account that I can give to my sister who is in college? She is in IL we are in MI, but if I can add a...

reboot and rescan things are working (was scared to do that before, but at this point had nothing to lose), but it worked! Now guess I gotta pay that last $16 to voom... I miss voom :(

Gonna try that right now actually, funny thing is today i got a partial bill from voom for like $16 from the 22-30th of april i think it was, said pay by June 13th (got it today June 15th), will still pay it thou i guess.

When voom went black my OTA hd worked for a while, haven't had it on in a week or so turned it on and today i get nothing, all ota's show as black no signal. Is that happening to everyone or did voom somehow disable that ota stuff, also what do we do with these boxes and such I never got a...
