    Is the Voom coax HDTV?

    Hey guys; The Voom box, it has many outputs. I ask about the coax outlet that the Voom box has. In my parents house, they have a system installed that takes a coax input and can modulate it throughout the house. Their Voom box is hooked via component cables into their projector and...

    Voom remote throughout the house?

    Hey guys! My parents have a complicated home video thing setup. The way it is setup, there are three Voom boxes in the house, but the output of a Voom box is fed via coax into this modulator which can send it to whichever coax outlets in the house that you want. So, say we have a Voom box...

    Voom on a 4:3 (PG sucks!)

    Hey guys! The Voom PG looks horrible on a 4:3 TV. What can I do to adjust the format of the PG to make it look proper on a 4:3? I already adjusted the video so the channels themselves look ok, but scrolling in the PG sucks and all that. I'm sure its a configuration issue.

    Solution to the phone line problem ...

    Do what Tivo does. Why do you need a phone line? It's stupid. I'm reading about Tivo, and it says Tivo can connect to a wired or wireless home network. That's a beautiful solution. Put a little 802.11b wireless card in the Voom STB. Nice! Of course that requires updating all the...

    Ideal Voom Operation

    This is how I think Voom would work ideally. I get normal, local cable in my house. It is not through a digital box, or any type of decorder or anything, just straight up normal coaxial. It's channels 2-69 or something. It would be ideal if I could plug this into my Voom STB OTA input and...

    Voom acting so weird :(

    My Voom is acting so weird. It just isn't working. Every channel it says "Cant find satelite signal for channel" I did the long-reset, and it has been "New program information is loading form the satellite." for a while now, and it went back to the channel, then it still doesn't have any...

    What is this??????

    lol! Ok, I put it on a Cinemax to check out XMen 2, it shows that it is currently playing. So I put it on, and it says "No signal received on channel" and then it reverts to some old guy speaking a foreign language and his girlfriend playing with his dingdong. Then I put it on a different...

    Quick OTA Question

    Hey guys I just want to make sure. If I don't use the OTA antenna that comes with the Voom system, can I just pickup any antenna at WalMart or CircuitCity? What should I look for in the antenna? AntennaWeb says the channels I want are in mainly UHF, and a few in VHF, all about 20ish miles...

    Integrate my two cable things?

    I have Cox Digital Cable, it enters the TV by coaxial cable. Can I plug this into my Voom box into the thing where it would be picking up local channels? If so,.. which input on the back of the voom box would it be?

    The "normal" channels??

    When will Voom carry the basic channels, such as NBC, CBS, ABC, WB, or FOX? I've seen them on other satelite TV systems..

    Voom Install - A bust. Thanks Voom.

    I just wanted to post. I had an install scheduled 2 weeks in advance, took off work in the afternoon, and no one came. I called Voom, they had no clue, the installer never updated anything, they had no idea what was going on. What a crock. This is bull to schedule appointments and then...

    Voom Satellite mounting options

    Hey guys! I'm curious what kind of "apartment" friendly satellite mounting options Voom has? For instance, I've seen these products like some Winegard Chimney mount, I could strap that onto a ballast right on my apartment. Or I've seen someone with a satellite mounted on a tripod. Also I...
