does tivo programmed recording work thru the box? I have series 2 toshiba tivo and am looking for a solution. I do not have cable. heard that tivo will provide some sort of software support for dtv2009. do you know about that?which tivo do you have?

No, you will not, and I will not. Our voom boxes are starting to auto reboot when they go to, or pass by, a channel using certain multiplexors, to do several things - improve audio (ch 11-1, in Houston), or whatever reason they use them. Expect more and more stations to begin to use them. A lot...

What size lcd? Internal or external power supply?

More bad voom news in Houston, TX. CBS, CH11-1 started making my voom do auto reboot on Monday, 4/14/8, 11-2 and 11-3, and all the other local HD ch's are ok, so far. I called KHOU engineering and Rudy said they just put in a multiplexor to fix some bad audio problems. Said sorry, the box is...

How does the coupon/card identify you as the person who must use it?

please give all details about this echostar bax. where? cost?

They are digital. They serve well now for OTA HD receivers. Could be used for converter boxes. The software has not been updated since voom went out of business years ago. Some PBS and CBS channels cause the box to loop in a reboot mode. This is caused by some equipment they use to send program...

Yes, they are digital. They function both as a HD receiver and as a converter box, The software in working activated boxes is old, never having been updated since voom went out of business. They can only be used for OTA reception now. Some brodcasters' multiplexor equipment to pack program info...

Are you concerned about your voom boxes? I am about mine and my toshiba tivo boxes.

The Rachel Ray show gave one to all the audience this week and will give 5 to online entries. I thought this might make a good replacement for my vooms. $59 at CircuitCity. The tv guide and other stuff being put in the signal is causing rebooting and will eventually happen on all channels. This...

How lost are you? The voom FAQ in the main thread above this gives a lot of info.

Where are you? Bet you $1.00 that ch 4 is PBS. If not, the ch is using a "datacaster" to send along extra stuff. Call the station engineer and ask. voom will never handle the ch - just hide it. my Houston PBS ch8 was testing the device and took it off during my call.

Where are you? Look at antennaweb.com to map the transmitters. A good UHF indoor ant may work fine. Where did you buy the voom? How much?

Call 11 and 13 and ask for engineering. Find out what they changed last 2 weeks re HD. Tell them about your voom problem.

Do not know where you live, but I bet you that ch 11 is a PBS station. Some PBS stations have started sending a data stream voom can not handle. I called the Houston, Tx PBS ch 8 engineer and he put me on hold while he went and diconnected the new box they had recently installed. Voom worked...
