CBS Kill Signal... This problem has been verified many times, according to old VOOM posts; apparently every CBS affiliate is sending out some kind of KILL SIGNAL that causes the VOOM box to reboot. I never found a fix for this, so the best thing you can do is use the local channel...

==================== I'm using HBO mainly; certainly any recent movie will be in 5.1 on HBO; none of the other channels gives me surround output either. LB

Hey All... I recently picked up stand-alone Toshiba dolby digital 5.1 converter on ebay. After hooking it up via a new optical SPDIF cable, there was NO surround sound; there was front channel sound tho... I thought the box was NG until I hooked it up to my Sony DVD player and got all 5...

I guess I was really spoiled from the joys of having VOOM (R.I.P.) for as long as it lasted...sigh...when they went belly-up, I decided to give Comcast a shot. I must honestly say that I have been very pleased overall with both their service and the quality of the digital & HD programming. They...

For the past week there have been NO Encore movie channels available from comcast....(in S.Florida anyway...) Anybody else got a problem with Encore??? LeeB Update: Back working again...please ignore. LeeB

This is getting really tiresome now. This is the third (#3) Sportster that's dying on me; it's been in operation only since August; the right channel is dead and the left one sounds like you're listening underwater! (A constant "gurgle" to the sound.) This happens in the boombox & also in the...

This is a complete waste of your time and your HD screen real-estate! There a brite FEARNET logo that takes up fully an eighth of the screen, which only goes away when an annoying commercial is flashed on screen right over whatever you're trying to watch!!!!! Sorry guys, but this IS NOT what I...

Thanx for the info...I'll pick up a new antenna and let you know if it helps. LeeB

Anybody else having problems with these things???? I had to wait a month and a half for the last one to be replaced after #1 died, right out of the box. This one has worked pretty well for about a month. Now it appears just as fried as the first one was! What a major pain in the a**...

This is the second time I've tried to use the 6412 DVR to record "Kill Bill Vol.1" on one of the Encore channels, only to find constant annoying audio drop-outs every 10 seconds or thereabouts. Anybody got a clue as to what's happening here? Video looks fine; using component video cables...

Me too: '2005327821106 ' Thanx, guys. LeeB

Mr. Dolan; As long-time DirecTv, Comcast and Charter subscribers, all I can say is that the quality and vision that went into putting VOOM together was like a breath of fresh air. In a market ruled by mediocrity and penny-pinching, VOOM showed a truly visionary spirit, and no matter what...

And I am really thrilled with Voom's performance in every way! It's added a whole new dimension to watching TV and I'm really enjoying it! SO: How can we help spread the word??? What can we do to help VOOM get the word out and start kicking butt??? "I Love Voom" Bumper stickers? T-Shirts...

Hey Sean... From the 90% of us who watch and love VOOM and RARELY post, go ahead and take control here, and ignore all the BS. Right On! LeeB

Ditto for me in the south Florida area; total rain-fade type efx (audio & video breakup) on all sat channels from 100 on up; (OTA channels are clear & fine). The breakup is constant at about every 25/30 seconds across the entire range of channels. LeeB
