    Help!!!

    At some point this weekend I lost my HD OTA channels. Let me rehrase that. I lost the HD/widesreen functionality. The picture comes in SD with grey pillars in 4:3 screensize. I have a Toshiba 46HFX using the DVI inputs for the Voom box so the TV is not in control of the image. Any...

    So, we own it now -- A couple of questions about OTA

    Diplexor Issue... I have removed the line from the satellite and replaced it with the line to my original rooftop uhf/vhf antenna. The thing is the siganl is still going through the diplexor. The signal can be very choppy especially in cloudy and rainy weather. Would removing the diplexor...

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    Ok Spill It....... How do you enter the local channel frequencies manually? That would be nice to know to experiment with the fringe channels. Thanks. :)

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    From what I recall..... the satellite sent a map of the local OTA's for your area. I don't know about a rescan resetting that map or not. Since it works I'm not going to try it either. Again see if the missing stations are listed in the map with the instructions I posted above. If not then...

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    Just A Thought.... Did you check to see if the channels are hidden on the remote? Press VOOM and then the green button. I don't remeber which option but there is one to hide/unhide OTA channels so you can eliminate surfing them when you know there is not a strong enough signal. Never...

    sending back equipment

    Don't know how anyone else feels but........ they take back all of the equipment or none of it. I don't need or want any "FREE GIFTS" from anyone. Either that or offer me a good deal on the box, say $100, and I might be willing to purchase it for OTA, assuming they can guarantee me that I...

    VOOM gone OTA here

    Long Island New York OTA up and working. Only change made was I hooked up my normal rooftop UHF/VHF antenna instead of the OTA antenna supplied by the installer which was installed on a much lower and hidden area of my house. Most reception is better including receiving more channels but some...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Wase4711......... Yes I did invite them. And I invite them back to come and get the equipment at my convenience the same way they came for the install. And since they chose to install the dish and OTA antenna by drilling holes in my roof I feel they should reverse the process. I'm not asking...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Wase4711...i Humbly Disagree...... A car lease is a flawed analogy. The dealer did not come to my house to deleiver or install anything. The car is a commodity in and of itself. I went to the dealer to pick-up my car and I'm expected to return at the lease termination. If VOOM needs ther...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Please Clarify! Hooking the box to the phone line was never a part of my installation. I remember getting the cord for it but the installer never even mentioned it. I thought all remote changes to the box could be handled over the satellite? Am I in breach of my contract? :eek: :D

    New Letter From Voom

    "The Eyes See What The Heart Wants" I do now remeber reading that Sean. Just wishful thinking I guess. :o They better send any requests for the equipment by certifed mail. I forsee all future mail from VOOM to my address as being lost! :D

    New Letter From Voom

    Received a form letter from VOOM this weekend. It stated that my service would end on 4/30 and that no further action was required on my part. Thanked me for being a loyal customer. Sounds to me like they're leaving the equipment in our hands. Any other opinions from reading the letter?

    HD lover where will she be.

    Same Boat HD was THE factor in my decision to finally pay for TV. Bought an HDreadyTV for movies and then figured VOOM would be a nice addition especially at the price. Now I think I'm going to buy the least expensive OTA tuner I can get and just live with that until this all shakes out...

    Common sense says VOOM/HD Select is not dead!

    Speculation..... If nothing else this just proves that anything is possible. Thinking strictly from the gut I think that C Dolan had to fall on his sword for a couple of reasons. One, CVC is still his company though James runs it day to day. With all the shenanigans going on with the board...

    Anyone Notice IMPROVED Picture Quality Today?

    Pq On Long Island,ny I did notice some improvement in the HD PQ but I have more short blackouts and interruptions to go along with it. Still not where it was though. I guess they're still working on it. Not a techie but maybe with the new hardware adding channels causes changes in the PQ...

    Toshiba 46HX83 prism effect

    While watching my TV last night I noticed a 3 or 4 inch triangular prism image in the middle of the screen. I thought maybe convergence but the TOUCH FOCUS procedure had no effect. :confused: Changed channels but it was always there with varying brightness depending on the scene brightness...

    New channels coming soon?

    Alto010 Hit The Nail On The Head My wife fought me on VOOM because of the no SCI-FI channel situation at the time. At this point it's safe to say that HD demand is limited but if you can meet the HD demand and the reg SD demands then why not? The point is to increase the business, not just to...

    Cablevision Enters into Interim Agreement Regarding VOOM

    See The Big Picture Minutia. This is why we're here bickering and fretting about whether this service will survive or not and Charles Dolan is a visionary millionaire. People are buying HDTVs in ever increasing numbers. At some point a switch will be flipped and they will demand HD content...

    Wow!!! It is Eerily quiet on this board today

    Voomlover #640 In today's Newsday someone was interviewed about VOOM and he said VOOM has changed their tastes in their choice of television shows. EXACTLY. :yes If your going to flip through hundreds of channels and settle on something you really didn't set out to watch anyway you might...
