    Help!!!

    At some point this weekend I lost my HD OTA channels. Let me rehrase that. I lost the HD/widesreen functionality. The picture comes in SD with grey pillars in 4:3 screensize. I have a Toshiba 46HFX using the DVI inputs for the Voom box so the TV is not in control of the image. Any...

    So, we own it now -- A couple of questions about OTA

    Diplexor Issue... I have removed the line from the satellite and replaced it with the line to my original rooftop uhf/vhf antenna. The thing is the siganl is still going through the diplexor. The signal can be very choppy especially in cloudy and rainy weather. Would removing the diplexor...

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    Ok Spill It....... How do you enter the local channel frequencies manually? That would be nice to know to experiment with the fringe channels. Thanks. :)

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    From what I recall..... the satellite sent a map of the local OTA's for your area. I don't know about a rescan resetting that map or not. Since it works I'm not going to try it either. Again see if the missing stations are listed in the map with the instructions I posted above. If not then...

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    Just A Thought.... Did you check to see if the channels are hidden on the remote? Press VOOM and then the green button. I don't remeber which option but there is one to hide/unhide OTA channels so you can eliminate surfing them when you know there is not a strong enough signal. Never...

    sending back equipment

    Don't know how anyone else feels but........ they take back all of the equipment or none of it. I don't need or want any "FREE GIFTS" from anyone. Either that or offer me a good deal on the box, say $100, and I might be willing to purchase it for OTA, assuming they can guarantee me that I...

    VOOM gone OTA here

    Long Island New York OTA up and working. Only change made was I hooked up my normal rooftop UHF/VHF antenna instead of the OTA antenna supplied by the installer which was installed on a much lower and hidden area of my house. Most reception is better including receiving more channels but some...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Wase4711......... Yes I did invite them. And I invite them back to come and get the equipment at my convenience the same way they came for the install. And since they chose to install the dish and OTA antenna by drilling holes in my roof I feel they should reverse the process. I'm not asking...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Wase4711...i Humbly Disagree...... A car lease is a flawed analogy. The dealer did not come to my house to deleiver or install anything. The car is a commodity in and of itself. I went to the dealer to pick-up my car and I'm expected to return at the lease termination. If VOOM needs ther...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Please Clarify! Hooking the box to the phone line was never a part of my installation. I remember getting the cord for it but the installer never even mentioned it. I thought all remote changes to the box could be handled over the satellite? Am I in breach of my contract? :eek: :D
