    So why DO they use independent installs?

    My install was right on schedule. You very rarely here the good around here. I wonder what the exact percentage is of bad installers?

    Signal In and Out.

    It looks like the combiner up top has the OTA and Sat signal combined into the A. The installer had the things switched at the bottom, thus when I switched them the way they should have been the signal stays up. As for the OTA problem, I think I just need a bigger antenna because any...

    Signal In and Out.

    I am headed to the roof to check things out shortly. That could be the trouble with my ABC TechCop. If I can't dial it in, I call VOOM for a bigger antenna. I may just go buy a big ChannelMaster multi-directional myself since I wanted one when I had D* anyway. As for the multiswitch, not...

    Signal In and Out.

    OK, get this.....been fooling around with the way the intstaller put the lines into and out of the multi-switch. After trying to swap the lines out to the house, and just getting rid of the satellite in, I swapped the Lnb A and Lnb B inputs into the Multiswitch and guess what......All the STBs...

    Signal In and Out.

    I'll give that a try, but the signal drops off the various STBs in my house. I think it is depending on which ones I power up first. I only watch the 2 on the first floor, and both of those lose the signals. So I would think the diplexor or like you said, the LNB is to fault. I'll see what...

    Signal In and Out.

    Sat Signal Quality - low 90s OTA - low 20s Those are the figures right now on one of the tvs that is up right now. I think is has to do with 3 receivers maybe? Signal deteriorating because it has to go to 3 places? Are there a lot of people that have 3 receivers in place? The system...

    Signal In and Out.

    Just turned off the 2 boxes that were getting a signal. Rebooted the receiver that didn't have a signal, nothing. Unplugged the receiver, waited a couple minutes then plugged it back in. It worked. Then turned on all the other receivers. The one in the living room lost the signal, and now I...

    Signal In and Out.

    Had Voom installed last Thursday. I have 3 receivers in place (mother in law had to have one upstairs). Sporatically each of the receivers will lose the signal for both the satellite and the OTA (sometime just the sat goes). I called VOOM, I was on hold for awhile before it said I had to...

    VOOM Installations

    woohoo new to the forumn and new to Voom. Will be getting installed 5/21. Can't wait. Only thing that sucks is that I will be gone most of the weekend so I won't be able to enjoy the HD for the first couple days. By the way I am switching from DTV......no more NFL Sunday Ticket :(
