    Can you use VOOM STB for local HD only?

    Can I just point the dish and upgrade the software and then use it for ota channels? I have all the equipment but I no longer sub to voom. I am not trying to hack or anything like that I just don't feel that the service is worth it and I want to use the hardware for something... Thanks

    Can you use VOOM STB for local HD only?

    I have a voom stb with software 5.68 on it. Can I use it as on OTA only STB? This would work perfect just to get the locals in HD. Thanks!

    As with anything there is good and bad. This is ridiculous! You shouldn't have to go and hold an installers hand to make sure it works correctly. Are everyone of you getting all your OTA's and Voom channels with no issues?

    I don't want to pay 600.00 for a Dish 811 system. It ins't worth it, and I like my PVR501 with no monthly fee for the PVR functions.

    I posted all this already... ART! All you had to do was read my posts. Don't be suprised if they charge you another $50.00 ladder fee. The satellite is a computer, stuff is not going to just magically come in later in the day because the installer said so. The dish pointing has to be at...

    Hello... To be honest with you... I would keep echostar. I also have DishNetwork and find myself using it more and more. The only time I switch to voom is to wach HD locals. So unless you plan to get the full VaVaVoom package for 80.00+ a month I would say just go and get a HDTV set top box...

    Snow while changing channels becomming a blizzard

    Mine does this whenever I change HD to SD and if the HD formats are different. I just thought this was how it tuned...? I set my Voom box to the auto select (all 4 bars.)

    Adant Adant is not a good company and they play tons of games. This same thing happened to me, no call, no show. Every time there is an issue Adant trys to blame voom or some other provider. This Brent or Brant guys talks all technical and then when you come back at him he says, I don't...

    Not true. They have been moved to the VA VA Voom package. You would have to be gradfathered in to get them.
