    VOOM gone OTA here

    It sounds like the Winegard Stealth II - Google it, and you'll find an image. It's what I have, but I'm assuming I have the "unamplified" version that relies on the Voom STB for power

    40ft Ladder Charge?

    My installer showed up with an oversized ladder(mounted to their truck). Since my roof has internal access requiring a 12 foot ladder, they asked if I had one they could use- rather than them unmounting theirs and lugging it up a few flights of stairs. I suppose I should've charged THEM. :D

    10 Hour Outage in NYC

    DVI2HDMI issue if HDMI unit is powered down I saw this happen again last night - but I think I found the source. I recently started using DVI to HDMI to connect my VOOM STB to my JVC D-ILA HDMI input. At night - I shut my entire system down - and then, I power up the VOOM STB only, so that I...

    OTA after Voom shutdown ?

    Thanks for the reply- that dispells the Ebay STB sellers claiming that while the boxes might not (WON'T) be activated by Voom - they could still be used for OTA _______________________________________________________

    10 Hour Outage in NYC

    Thanks for the confirmation. That's what I suspected. Being I've never really experienced any major STB problems - from the zero signal, it really looked as if my dish got disconnected physically (or fell out of alignment) - so I was very surprised to see a 3rd reboot brought it back...

    OTA after Voom shutdown ?

    I've heard that the VOOM STB could still be used as an HD decoder for OTA reception, even if it's deactivated. How would this work ? (Does using the diplexer matter ?) I'm concerned that if Voom goes dark prior to the Super Bowl, that i won't have HD signal for it :(

    10 Hour Outage in NYC

    Last night, I lost signal. Cycling on/off didn't work, neither did unplugging. This morning, I checked again - nothing. Installation Wizard: Satellite Signal = zero. OTA signal RF56 = 99 OTA Scan = nothing. No channels came in. I check the boards, and thought it shut down sooner than...

    Vertical dashed green line in Pillar Box(4:3)?

    Thanks much obliged... glad to know I'm not seeing things. Your suggestion worked (but i hate the way the menu winds up looking in native mode - very Atari 2600 ;). I was hoping that perhaps it's a known, momentary software version issue. Perhaps I'll try using an analog output for SD...

    Vertical dashed green line in Pillar Box(4:3)?

    New Voomer - noticing some SD channels, when display mode for Wide to Narrow is "Pillar", 4:3 programming shows a green vertical dotted line, running down the right "pillar" - about an inch from the programming. Also notice some static-y line running down the left side of the pillar, just...

    Just got voom installed

    New Voom Install in Brooklyn After reading the threads, I tried to get the CSR to agree/clarify certain things before I committed to 6 months 1. No fee separate OTA drop 2. Upgraded OTA upon initial install (Since my landlord makes my roof access difficult, I didn't want to deal with multiple...
