    Cant lock one channel

    Ya, it IS a CBS issue. Apparently, all CBS stations changed their signal(s) ~ 10/12, resulting in this problem (which is almost certainly due to "datacasting"). I saw it on my VOOM box that day and it wasn't there before that. I'm watching WKYW 3.1 CBS out of Philly, but I know that folks all...

    Using / Re-setting the Samsung SIR-TS360 without an access card

    Just thought I'd post this thread - http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-hd-discussions/59156-how-totally-reset-sir-ts360.html over here since it really more properly belongs in the OTA area rather than the general DirecTV HD area. It's a thread that I found via Google and it really was...

    How to totally reset a SIR-TS360

    Ya, by all means do it if you can. It might help the next guy that has that problem and finds that thread (like I did). I got there by googling "ts360 access card" (without the quotes). If you're familiar, do you know if this box adds channels on a rescan, or replaces the previously scanned...

    How to totally reset a SIR-TS360

    How to totally reset a SIR-TS360 or Using one without the access card. I tried replying to / updating this thread, but it was too old and wouldn't take my reply - http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-hd-discussions/59156-how-totally-reset-sir-ts360.html I also bought a Samsung SIR-TS360 on...

    Do you really need an HD Tv?

    WRONG!! It's the one next to the 8-track player. :D

    Do you really need an HD Tv?

    I assume that's sarcasm. If not, try Google. Let's go back to the post that started this thread. It was said there - 7. The voucher program will primarily be aimed at getting digital to analogue converters that will automatically downconvert hd and digital signals to analogue so that they...

    Do you really need an HD Tv?

    I'm more than a bit surprised at some of the stuff posted on this thread. 1) I take a bit of an issue with the statement that "Digital and HD are two different things." Better to have said "HD and SD are two different things." Both are digital. HD is digital so HD and digital can't be two...

    Rebooting on broadcast channel

    neimand - Try your CBS channel again now. I just tried mine and it is no longer causing my box to reboot! Yipee! steve - I assume that you are referring to the Samsung H260F. I'm very interested in that box but I don't think I'm getting one just yet. I think the price will come down before...

    Rebooting on broadcast channel

    Yup, see this thread - at WinnFreeNet.com Forums-viewtopic-Voom 550 Factory Reset Accident But tell me, does your other CBS station have the same problem or is it okay? I'm going to give my other CBS station a shot as soon as I get on my roof and turn my antenna (probably today). BTW, my...

    Here's MY problem!

    Thanks guys. Jim - Yes, I have confirmed there is programming on that subchannel. I am now in email contact with one of the engineers at the station and he is trying to find the fix for my problem. But as yet, no luck. He told me that he thinks it has "something to do with the program...

    Here's MY problem!

    Well, I have already locked that subchannel in on a prior scan, thus I can tune to it. So it wouldn't seem that rescanning would do any good. And I've tried that anyway. Nothing changed. I just don't understand why I can't get the programming they're putting out -- although maybe they aren't...

    Here's MY problem!

    I'm in central NJ and getting ch 39 WLVT (OTA) out of Allentown (Bethlehem) at RF 62. There's the main digital channel, 39-1, then 2 subchannels, 39-3 and 39-4. I'm getting all three at the same signal strength but I only get programming on the first two. When I tune to 39-4, I get the "no...

    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    Thanks Ronnie. I posted a reply to you yesterday but now I don't see it (what's up with that?). I resolved my problem by making 17.2 one of my "favorite channels," which allows me to get to it by surfing thru only a few stations while maintaing the current station. Thus I have the two stations...

    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    Hi Everyone. Does anybody know if there's a way to actually punch in a local digital channel that isn't a "point one" channel? Like 17.2 If I enter 17, it naturally gives me ch. 17.1 But can I go directly to 17.2 somehow? Can I enter that on the keypad somehow? Thanks
