Nice attitude charper. You know people that have your kind of out look on life is the reason why society is going down the drain as we speak. You don't care about the people of society. You don't care about anybody you may hurt. You don't care about anybody but yourself period. You're the one...

A little advice my friend. Get a life! I don't work at Circuit City, but I do have to deal with the public. I work at a place called Wal-mart. I assume you've heard of it. Anyways, I work in the Electronics department and have for almost 5 years now. What I do hate is dealing with people that...

You use the "sat" button on the remote control because they once operated as satellite receivers. Unfortunately, there no longer is a Voom satellite service and the satellite tuners inside these receivers are useless unless someone clever enough can devise a new way of making them FTA capable.

I haven't run across one yet and have wondered those same questions. I think that they are still in fact making dual analog tuner televisions, but there don't seem to be that many in number as there once was. The difficulty with the new digital tuners would be the additional cost of adding...

texasbrit, I thought the new satellites that will be going up broadcasted in the Ka band frequencies. How will that interfere with those frequencies on the UHF and VHF band? Are those satellites using some kind of locator beacon that is in the VHF or UHF range? Also, Iceberg, I was thinking that...

With regular AV cables, you're really not even getting a 480i resolution quality picture. You're actually getting more like half of that resolution. The composite color and luminance signals are encoded into one analog signal. When they are decoded and encoded like this, you lose both color...

They probably do exist, but as with most combination units, it would be more expensive to get than to just buy a dvd recorder and hook it into a High Definition tuner. I have a Lite-On Recorder which record in +R +RW or -R -RW fomats. It also records audio cd format and SuperVCD format on any...

I saw this thread regarding the tuner in the 211 model and thought I would respond about my reception issues. I too have both a Voom receiver and a Dish Network VIP 211 receiver. My Voom receiver picks up channels my locals with lots of signal strength and quality. It even picks up distant...

I've also heard a rumor that the Digital television signal wasn't designed somehow for road movement, like traveling down a road while receiving a signal. With the analog set, I can do that and get wavy lines in the picture while the vehicle is in motion. Would digital just go totally black...

Speaking of HD portability, when are they going to start making hand-held sets with digital tuners as well as portable sets with digital tuners to go in vehicles? I've got an analog handheld set with a 2.3 inch color LCD screen that was purchased in 1999 from Best Buy. It has an audio/video...

It is not recommended to use one cable to supply both of those signals. Your cable modem line contains all of the analog frequencies as well as those dedicated to downloading and uploading. You'll have an overlap of signal due to the fact that there are frequencies on both your antenna line and...

Looks like I is going to be a TVLand like experience for OTA. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: On June 27, 2006, i's parent company announced a comprehensive programming deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution, giving them broadcast rights to movies and programming owned by Warner...

It's a television network that will be available next year with children's programming. It's being started up by the Independent Network.

http://www.ultatryon.com/voom/ This is the web address that sends you directly to Ultatryon's Voom Message Board. Like Ronniejay said, the board hasn't had much activity for over a month. He was working on getting a special part to tap into the doc chip, but it is still apparently on backorder.

Whether or not it is activated or non-activated, most receivers that had the channel scan function were able to scan in channels. The only problem is that once you scan them in and go back to watch them, the unactivated receivers will display a message on-screen saying something about requiring...

I think 60 miles is the average limit for UHF I think UHF for the most part is limited at 60 miles on the average for reception. Anything beyond that I would say is pure luck. UHF unlike VHF goes more accordingly to the curvature of the earth. Once the signal hits the horizon, it floats off...

Possibly, but can't guarantee... I know weather plays a role in reception issues such as tropospheric ducting during warming and cool-down periods. Atmospheric changes are usually prone to helping channels come through, but I assume they could also hinder reception as well. Here's a link...

Antenna Pre-amps and line distribution amplifiers work differently. Pre-amps hook directly into the antenna in order to amplify as much of the signal received as possible before sending it down the coax line. Line distribution amps are designed to keep the signal boosted while splitting the...

I imagine that VCR manufacturers will not have to comply with the digital tuner rule as they could simply run off the modulated end of a digital tuner. Besides, even though many still have numerous VHS tapes lying around, most manufacturers have deemed the technology now ancient. Most retailers...

I have a 35-inch Sanyo in my bedroom that takes only 480 interlaced, so I have to force it to that mode to watch anything. As for my HD screen, I have a Mitsubishi that doesn't take 720P so I have to force it to 1080i.

The receiver will not allow you to change the time nor the date. Those were originally only updated via satellite when Rainbow-1 was in operation by Voom.

Also, they could expand HD outputs for DVI, RGB, and component interfaces. HDMI is still a relatively new interface for HD television sets that hasn't been around too long.

I think increasing the bitrate on their movies might help as well. People don't want to download overly compressed movies for a fee in either HD or DVD when they can get movies for Netflix for a little bit more with outstanding quality.

Ultatryon is still around. He's had some problems with the email server and the forum also. He has the forum at a new web address and is using the old forum software he originally went with before converting it over. http://www.ultatryon.com/voom/ That's the web address to the new forum...

larrykenney, you can put in a word to the managers of your affiliates in the Bay area. I'm sure one of them will pick up the channel sooner or later due to the fact that the channel's popularity has since increased rapidly since they started multicasting in digital markets.
