    CBS-HD: No Masters coverage Thursday or Friday! (Sat & Sun Yes) open for more details

    It seems to me that no CBS stations are covering the Masters 1st and 2nd round coverage, but it is listed in the current Daily Listings on this forum. Is anyone receiving it today and tomorrow?

    I assume this is the fault of my local stations, but I bet I would have got it on a Comcast channel. Angry in Goose Creek, SC

    Voom's great, when it works...

    The installer didn't have a signal meter. I can't post the signal numbers at the moment because it just went out again, just as I was about to start watching a movie. The numbers were very good the last time I looked though. I will post them when it comes back up.

    Voom's great, when it works...

    It will be a week today that I have had Voom. I lose the signal at least once everyday (as is the case right now). I actually had a "No signal" message while the movie was playing behind it, but it only lasted about 5 minutes before I lost the picture completely and got a red dish. If this is...

    New Software Update Tonight! (Version 00.05.68)

    Is the download screen a bunch of numbers on a grey screen? Does this mean I can't get a picture while this is occurring? I am up at this yime everyday. I rebooted the box because I thought it was just screwed up again. I've only had it 6 days and have had numerous problems with losing the...

    South Carolina Voom Roll Call

    My install went great. He (Billy) tried to use a diplexer but was easily diverted. He used my existing antenna but gave me the Stealth, mount, and amp. The quality of the work was good, but not fantastic. No glitches at all. Within a few hours I upgraded to the Va Va Voom package. I don't...

    VOOM Installations

    I am usually rather unlucky and I expected to have similar problems with my install. However, my install was scheduled for, and done, this morning. He did try to use a diplexer, but other than that everything went great. I have the VaVa Voom package and love it. The OTA channels are better...

    Voom Issues, would like to hear what others think

    The person I spoke to when I ordered definitely said the PVR upgrade would be free, 3rd quarter this year. As for the extra box cost, I knew it ahead of time, so if I had wanted a second box I would have ordered it at that time. One of my favorite sayings is the 7 P's, Proper Prior Planning...

    Component video through a receiver??

    I have had the install done. Everything is awesome and there is no noticable difference between direct connection and using the receiver. So now I have one less remote to deal with. I can't believe how good the OTA channels are!

    VOOM Installations

    My install was done this morning and I am very pleased with the experience. The installer did try to use a diplexer but was easily talked out of it. My signal strength is 64 and OTA local channels are phenomenal. I can't believe how good the picture is. I had Comcast HDTV previously and the...

    Component video through a receiver??

    I bought a new A\V Receiver yesterday in preparation for my Voom install today. The salesman said that there will be some signal loss if I route the component video cables through the receiver. I find that rather difficult to believe. Does anyone know if it is true or not? If it matters, the...
