    How do I recieve an OTA signal from a nearby market?

    I took the amplified directional antenna voom installed and pointed it toward the west and the large directional I had was pointed it toward the south. The MIT. has antenna A and B inputs that are looped out to the voom box. This is a good instillation for 1 TV witch is all we have.

    I read from time to time that there will be a switch. Is this a guess or factual. What is the :confused: time frame? This is an important question when considering buying equipment, and signing commitments.

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    owned receiver will still have ota? Was wondering if the owned receivers were going to keep functioning. Wouldn't it be a hassle for Voom to disable all ota and not owned receivers? This ota thing has me on the edge of my seat as that will determine how quickly I switch to another provider.

    The 39 HD channel mark has been reached!

    Thats exactly what was done. I am just stating the fact that there are many people that could care less about sports and sports channels. There is no reason to alienate these people for a few more worthless sports oriented channels.
