    622, tv2 and a sling box

    I don't have a sling box, but I do something similar with my location free on a 625. The 'trick' is to use the TV1 with the IR remote and an IR blaster. Since TV2 is a uhf remote my location free (and probably your sling box) will not be able to deal. The problem of course is the HD output is...

    Considering upgrading to VaVa?

    I have been considering switching to VaVaVoom for a while now, but I am a charter member, so I am currently locked in at $39 for basic + one plus pack for free. If I change anything I will loose the deal, but if I do nothing I keep the deal that I have indefinatly (as far as I can tell). I...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    problem manual tuning around RF31-33 in So NH I have been having a problem trying to tune in ME stations (i.e. antenna pointed NE). When I run through the manual tune, I seem to get stuck around RF31 or RF33 during the scan. Sometimes it gets through there and I get ~200 copies of a set of...

    Good Off Air Antennas/Amplifiers

    I am on the fringe with a lot of trees (in NH). I ended up with a Radio Shack VU-190(?). The antenna is huge and is made by ChannelMaster (I think/was told). This is a uhf/vhf antenna and pulls in the major network stations from Boston (~50-70 miles away). I also have a rotor on it so that I...

    VOOM STB Version 00.05.5C: Features/Bugs/Requests

    Suggestion for the program planner(or maybe I just can't find it), allow for a 'everytime' or 'every 7 days' type addition, so that when I set up an event to tape a weekly show, I don't have to do it every week. Going to the sony box comment above, you were obviously not an early adopter of...

    Come on guys...This is really great that VOOM has done anything for us early adopters. Some appreciation is warrented. I was in at the beginning of DirectTV many years ago, and they had similar startup problems to what VOOM had (is still having). They never gave anything back to the early...

    A little help from fellow Voomers

    I have a 61" Sammy DLP, so you know what I will say, but seriously... If you are going to have it sitting too high, not having it bright enough will be the least of your problems, It will not be comfortable to watch for any length of time...given that the DLP does not do well vertically with...

    Are you still having problems with your VOOM box (OTA Problems)?

    Had to do a couple of front panel resets this morning. When I first found it the sat icon was red (orangish red). I had to reset to get it to come on at all, then after messing with resolution a bit, it locked up again. At first I thought that maybe this was the long awaited upgrade, but...

    My Evaluation of VOOM after Two Months

    I got VOOM about the same time as you guys... I concur with you guys on most things. I did not expect VOOM to be an E* or D* out of the box, but I really hoped that they would speed up (not necessarily be completely up to speed, but getting there) by now. I find that the only time I am...

    VOOM Adds more HDTV (in January) Channels and new equipment

    that's bad. The 'keyboard' is an alpha listing not a keyboard. Most people, even kids, now expect to find keys in keyboard locations

    January 1 and no new channels?

    Ditto Sean, these X-Gen channels are pretty cool, but I don't need more than 1 and certainly not in SD. Where is HBO, Cinemax and Playboy-HD?

    Cinema 10- Wish List of Movies to transfer to HD...

    Oh yea, and I would love to see Farscape in HD! Mark P.S. I liked the new Battle Star, but I think they should not have staged it in the same timeframe, having the orig be 60 years before, and this was in the future would have changed nothing but the names of some of the characters.

    Multiple satellite system setups

    You can definatly use the same dish that E* uses for the 61.5 slot as long as you have a free port on the LNB. Just make sure that your installer does the manual tune thing on the receiver, before complaining about the signal strength, it will save you hours of trouble shooting x . After...

    The Yule Log Christmas 2003 in High Definition

    Yea, but I don't get 11-1 (well actually that is the only one I get, but it is PBS up here in NH) , what I was saying was, rebroadcast it onto a standard VOOM channel for the rest of us not in the NY area.
