Now that my local WB station is broadcasting, how do I get Voom to add the channel to the program guide? Thanks

The basketball game is not in HD, but it is on ESPN while the hockey game has been demoted to ESPN2. It's kinda of sad when the conference finals of a sport are downplayed behind the second round of another, but such is the state of hockey. In the end its all about ratings and advetrising...

Why I want it to work? Because I don't like things that don't work. but really, I have a couple of things that I would like to use through the component inputs on my TV, if the Voom STB could be used through the DVI connection, then that would free up one of my component connections so i don't...

I have the 57h83, have you noticed flickering with the DVI connection? I've had it since day one, although it got better after the software upgrade, it still flickers a good deal. Fortunately the component connection works fine, but I would like the DVI to work.

yeah, at the time all I could think was, out of everything they are supposed to provide he(the installer) gives me the one that everyone else seems to not get. Go figure. Too bad though that the glitchy STB won't work through my DVI connection on my TV, flickers an awful lot.

What I meant by that was, if they are going to make a phone connection mandatory, and they plan on shutting off my service if I don't comply, then they better provide the necessary equipment for me to comply with their requirements, in this case a phone cord. Now the fact that some people...

Well, I can say that there were no phone cords in the box that my STB came in, nor did the installer mention one would be needed or should be installed. Of course that being said, I agree with you completely, I was more just pointing out the fact that "legally" I couldn't see how they could...

Just playing devils advocate here, but....If others had there system installed the way mine was, where the phone line wasn't discussed nor installed nor provided...and since Voom does not allow you to do self installs, its gonna cost them a lot of money to send the installers back out to hook up...

It's not the forum that is your problem, Geno. I have been a posting member for about a month and I have received no emails from anyone on this board, real or malicious. I can say, however, that I have never signed up for the yahoo board, for the simple reason that I stay away from signing up...

I second this!

Personally I could care less about any SD channels, I barely watch them anyhow. All I want is more HD content, and every possible HD channel out there.

I'm in the same boat as you, I have the stealth antenna pointed to the majority of my local channels, but our ABC station is not broadcasting locally yet. Fortunatley there is a remote ABC channel but its 180 degrees in the other direction, so like you I have a two antenna setup with a cheapo...

Did they charge you extra for the upgraded antenna?

Well when I went to the FCC.gov website and it says 'Application' for the Digital Station of the local WB. So I guess that means no they are not live, I guess. I know on antennaweb.org it says "Waiting for FCC permit".

If my local WB channel shows up in Voom's Zap2It program guide, but my receiver does not have this channel mapped, all other locals from the guide are there, is this a problem? I ask because I checked out antennaweb.org and saw that this WB channel lists as 'Waiting for FCC Permit'. So do we...

Yes, when I cycle through they all flicker. By the way, when you push the red button how do you know which setting its on? There is nothing shown on the screen.

Well its official, I am Vooming, and I must say the install went rather well, and my installer, once he got here did a great job, was very knowlegable and nice. He did mention a couple of things, one of interest was that he was told that Voom was playing with the idea of moving the satalite...

Well its not like I have a ton of options, either I keep the cable I have or get one of the other Sat providers, with the only dif being ESPNHD, or I wait and get Voom.

Well, I just spoke with my installer, and low and behold, he's on his way. So lets see, sunny clear sky's, have a line of site, and confirmation he's on his way, maybe just maybe the fifth time will be the charm....

Time Warner it is.

I know, thats why I thought it was interesting. Maybe its not there anymore because they don't need a FAQ telling people it will be comming shortly, maybe its closer than we think. Then again my cable company has been telling me for a year now that they're close to inking a deal to carry...

I did notice that the FAQ on Voom's website for when they will be getting ESPNHD no longer seems to be there. Read into it what you will.

I think someone is playing a horrible joke on me. So I apparently was mistaken, when I was told the last time by the installer that he would come out the same time as the previous scheduled attempt, which was 7:30am, I just assumed that meant I was going to see him at 7:30am. But he had...

Well, lets see, I'm in Albany, and so far I have yet to get my Voom installed. Today was going to be the third attempt but no sign of installer nor no phone call. Either its my bad luck, or he just doesn't seem to concerned to make money, but either way he nor Voom will see any of my cash...

Thanks. Oh I'm still giving it a go, I just don't believe it's ever going to actually get done, I've rescheduled again for Tuesday April 13th. I just have this feeling of being in limbo, and its not like Voom would let me do my own install, or I might just have it done by now. I'm done...
