    White DOT Phenomenon only on VOOM..???

    I had the same problem a couple of nights ago. The white dot went away after changing channels a few times. I have a Sammy HLN467W connected through DVI. I don't think it is the TV or the DVI connection since it doesn't happen all the time. Don't have any idea what caused it. I guess it could be...

    Diplexor must be installed because of powered antenna? (Depends on antenna model)

    All local stations are mapped correctly on the box. The one I can't receive is located on the same mountain top as the others, 14 degrees and 16 miles away. I think that if I can get the others, I should get that one also. I can also receive two stations from 264 degrees at 10 miles away. The...

    Diplexor must be installed because of powered antenna? (Depends on antenna model)

    I have just read all this thread and man am I confused! I had Voom installed a week ago and the installer said that he didn't get an amplifier for the OTA antenna. It is a Weinguard but I don't know what model. When he activated the box, Voom told him that he didn't need an amplifier. He...

    Just installed in Tucson, AZ I just got Voom installed yesterday and thought I would let everyone know how it went. The installer got everything on the roof but said that the OTA antenna wouldn't work because the amplifier wasn't shipped. When he tried to peak the dish, the signal kept going...

    Big time wait for my install

    Cox Cable has a few HD channels ready to go but I don't know when they will make them available to subscribers. That may be an alternative if Voom isn't going to ship the equipment to our end of the world any time soon. I don't mind waiting a few weeks but not for an extended period of time...

    Big time wait for my install

    Don't worry Schmadic. By the time we get installed we will probably get the new software, bigger dish and the DVR at the same time. :-) Dosen't give me much confidence in Voom.

    Big time wait for my install

    I also live in Tucson and got the same message as Schmadic. Was set to be installed on 6/14 but now I don't know when it will be installed. Direct Broadcast, the installer, said they would contact me in about 2 weeks. 20 people ahead of me.
