    Local Off Air Channels in CT

    I guess a quick E-mail to WTNH wouldn't hurt. Maybe even ask why D doesn't carry their HD signal on sat while I'm at it.

    Local Off Air Channels in CT

    I called D today to ask why my receivers even after a reboot and downloading new software will not receive channel 59-2 WCTX-DT and still shows that I'm supposed to receive 8-2 WTNH-DT that no longer broadcasts. 59-2 will come in for a second then it will revert back to the previous channel...

    Are HR20's out of stock?

    I picked one up last Thursday(an HR20S box date of 10/17/06 and had to drive from Meriden CT to Leominster Ma to get it) and have yet to have it installed. The installer skipped out yesterday and showed up 2 hours late today and botched the install. He diddn't want to lookat the instructions...

    voom receiver reboots when tuned to pbs-hd

    Well This morning I rescanned for the first time in about 6 months and was surprised to find I was finally able to pick up the local PBS from New Haven then I was dismayed when my Voom Box started to reboot. Then I remembered Sat Guys and wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. Sure...

    Can't get any local channels, HELP!!!

    Maybe the original owner hid the other channels. I know that on my box I hide all the channels that I didn't get from the NYC area. Give that a try.

    Are the Yankees now the "cursed" team?

    It's only the second week in May and the Yankee haters are putting the nails in the coffin for the 2005 season! As a longtime fan (having sat through many miserable seasons in the 80's ). The team roster is not the kind that will see these kind of games go on for long.

    Voom Receivers used for OTA: WIll Program Guide Work?

    Voom Box Is A Gift To Those That Can Use It! I wasn't really expecting to get someone knocking on my door for the STB and even the cost of shipping boxes to subscribers seemed cost prohibitive. Cablevision wanted to stop the bleeding permanently, not cauterize the wound. Jimmy Dolan doesn't...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    I disconnected from the dish feed Saturday just in case Voom sent a kill signal and on Monday night I started having problems with the box locking on my local CBS channel. I unpluged the reciever and it rebooted just fine I still get the same locals after a rescan. The only problem is if I punch...

    Voom's Dead

    It's been a rollercoaster ride since I subscribed in January, but I loved every minute of it. The only silver lining that I see is that it's May 1st and the weather is turning nice. I think I'll go outside and see some real HD. If I need to watch any TV I still have my 8.5' BUD hooked up...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Just to make sure the plasmoritation doesn't affect the OTA reception I'm going to go to the Video store this afternoon and renting enough movies for the kids for the "last night" and disconnecting my sat feed. D#@n I'll miss the Voom exclusives. Good luck to all. Sat Junkie

    VOOM Fade to Black and Farewell: T-Minus 9 Days and Counting...

    The weather is getting to nice to sit inside and watch TV. Come on people it's time to get off our duffs and get outside! I for one am not calling the cable company or any sat company untill the fall. I can use the subscription price to play a round of golf!

    New Letter From Voom

    Form Letter The form letter was a copy of the e-mail that they sent out last week. Another reason they lost so much money one hand didn't know what the other was doing!

    Irony and Voom

    I was going thru my checkbook and found something very ironic. The last check I wrote to Voom was #911. It's to bad that it couldn't have been a call to that # that could have saved it.

    New shutdown notice, the 'Voom' screen:

    I got my Email this last Tuesday and my bill for April 4th thru May 3rd in the mail on Monday. I guess I'll have to send in for a short month. D*#n I'm going to miss this service I've had C-band, Dish, and Direct and Voom was the best service going as far as I was concerned. :(

    May 1st where will you be? Dish, Cable or DirecTV?

    After trying to read as many of these posts as possible, I know that several hundred people have checked in and gave their opinions. I guess that it's my turn and I'm glad that I didn't disconnect my BUD because that's about my best option I have for the foreseeable future.

    Will the Voom Forum Be Taken Off?

    Maybe We Can Start A Primestar Board I feel bad for the employees that are going to loose their income, but this still reminds me of how Primestar went from being a good idea to being another blip in the history of television.

    VOOM goes BOOM, where do I go?

    There's only 40-50k of us we're small potatoes to either E or D. There aren't enough of us to make them compete for us. :no

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    IMHO the Voom boxes are going to be like a Primestar stb except that you would be able to receive local ota signals with no guide. Cablevision wants to rid itself of all their last vestiges of Voom and picking up a warehouse full of useless boxes probably would cost an extra half million dollars...

    Espn Blackout Stinks!

    I was disappointed Sunday and Monday because I couldn't watch the Yankee, Red Sox opener and the Mets, Reds. I don't have another provider so I was unable to see a sold out game at Yankee Stadium, as for the Mets and Reds I wasn't going to drive from CT to Cincinnati to watch the game. I don't...

    2005 Masters

    The Masters weren't sponsored last year because of the controversy over not allowing women to join the club! There was no lack of money and enthusiasm over the tournament being in HD. CBS did a good job and they have several more tournaments scheduled in HD this summer...

    Connecticut Voomers thread

    WFSB has been broadcasting at full strength for the last 4 months. you might have a multipath problem. I'm in Wallingford and get a 98% signal on my Voom receiver and a 90% on my old Integra 910s. They did screw up a couple of weeks ago during CSI. I 'm not sure if it was a WFSB problem or CBS...

    Spring Madness Refer a Friend Program I received an e-mail this morning announcing the Refer a Friend program. This is a good sign as far as I'm concerned as to the longevity of Voom. It looks like Dolan is taking a page out of Ergans book to increase subscriptions. 1 free month for every...
