    Strong Possibility that Update SW GE 6.0 will be released this Week!

    Target software version means what you'll be upgraded to. And yes, that is the number for the new software; they've changed the version numbering, to judge by the info posted by those who have the new software from new installs or box swaps.

    Possible to get locals without box?

    If you run a splitter from the OTA to your other TVs you will be able to receive analog channels on them. However, it is possible that the splitter may interfere with the OTA reception because the antenna requires power passed from the receiver to the antenna to power the amplifier.

    Which Sat Signal level do I trust?

    From what I understand, the quality can be seen to some degree as the accuracy and clarity of your line of sight, and the power can be seen as the power remaining in the signal after it shoots through miles of atmosphere, hits your dish, reflects into the LNB, and travels down your wires to the stb

    Install's Inc. cancelled my antenna upgrade?

    Well it might have something to do with the fact that Monroe, LA, has two digital TV stations, , respectively. KNOE and KLTM, broadcasting at 5 kW and 6.7 kW. Broadcasts of such low power aren't going to reach you at 50 miles away. El Dorado, AR, on the other hand, has two stations...

    Should Voom allow to sell and activate 2nd hand units?

    Perhaps voom's system shows that that box was stolen, and that's why they won't activate it. Maybe the seller on EBAY had hot merchandise?

    Question about Winegard Sensar II

    Check Antennaweb.. The amplified Sensar is rated to light green.

    Stealth -> Winegard

    The winegard runs off power from the receiver. Unless they switched the outdoor diplexer when they hooked it up, it may not be receiving power and is therefore operating in nonamplified mode which has a much lower range.
