    Superbowl on NFLHD?

    Thanks. So what are they gonna show, just the stats...for 4 hours? If so, I guess I can get OTA HD on the plasma and use the DLP which doesnt get HD for the HD stats.

    Superbowl on NFLHD?

    I live in Las Vegas and have NFLHD. I looked on the schedule of listings and it says "Continuous statistical coverage of the superbowl" or something like that. Does anyone know if that mean they are showing the actual game or just showing stats? I may have to drag down my 42 plasma that...

    Combining Signals

    OK. Currently I have the OTA antenna connected directly to the tv tuner via the coax on the back of the tv. The dish is connected seperately with the satellite. I can only view my local HD channels by using the TV's tuner and changing with the TV remote. What I want to accomplish is combining...

    Combining Signals

    Is it possible to combine both the satellite dish network signal and OTA antenna into one coax? I currently have Dish installed and have a Winegard OTA antenna from a previous voom install. I have a plasma with a built in hd tuner and want to get my local hd channels using the Winegard antenna...

    Existing Voom Satellite

    I am thinking of getting DishNetwork. I had Voom for about six months when they went out of business and still have their satellite on the roof. Can I use this existing satellite when I switch to DishNetwork or will they have to install their own??

    voom bill

    So do we still pay our voom bills? And when and if it gets taken over what happens next? Do we keep the satellites and just convert to dishnetwork? Are we going to lose the channels such as rave and worldsports. I guess it remains to be seen...

    Voom in Vegas problems and Locals question

    I'm also in Vegas; Coronado Ranch. I will double check to see if I get UPN, what exact channel is that on? I was wondering why I was not getting alot of local channels. So you have to actually feed the analog signal, how exactly do you do that, run another cable from the antenna or dish??

    Local Channels

    I am also in the SouthWest, Jones/215, I get about 10 locals, ABC, NBC, some others I can't remember right now. What usually happens when I am going thru the local channels is that the box sometimes freezes up when I scan channels 13-1, 13-2, etc. I've read a solution is to unplug the phone...

    Local Channels

    I am in the Las Vegas area and used to have Cox Communications before Voom. Were the channels on regular Cox cable considered local channels for Voom? I am trying to get FoxSports which was on channel 49. Does anyone know if you are able to receive such channels and are they considered local...

    HDNEWS low volume

    Has anyone noticed channel 100 is lower volume than the other HD channels. Is there a way to control the volume equally?

    Pre Wired Satellite

    Hmmm. Ok I wasn't home at the time and I assumed the installer would know where the prewire was. I think I'll fix it myself. Thanks for the input.

    Pre Wired Satellite

    I've had Voom for about 2 weeks now. My house was a new construction and I made sure to get sattellite prewire. Problem is, the installer did not see this and he has the wiring from the first floor to the roof on one side. You can see the wire going all the way to the roof on the side of the...

    New Voomer

    Thanks Sean...That looks like a good deal. Let us know how that works with your system and if you see any improvement. I will probably get one of the same. One question: It says HDMI to DVI...Does it make a difference if I am going DVI to HDMI, are they compatible both ways? Some cables are...

    New Voomer

    Well, on double checking last night, I saw that I DID have a bunch of local channels. The advanced settings said I had 130 satellite and 30 local. I will have to count, that seems a bit high. The only problems I am having now is box freeze up and black screen. Audio but no video. This only...
