    VOOM receiver: Lost my digital OTA by pressing "Caller ID" setting.

    I suspect we'll start seeing more of these type of OTA problems. The voom box was a sat receiver box first and an OTA box second. Sure it has a pretty decent/sensitive tuner for OTA, but since the receiver requires a smart card to function, needs to be activated (originally) to even scan OTA...

    Direct TV Salesman at Best Buy Laments VOOM leaving

    Nice setup...I didn't know Bose made speakers that big :D I'm with you...maybe we can get the Dolan's to invest in Bose and and kill them off.

    Directv $200 Rebate for Voom Customers

    A question you might want to ask is if there will be a "2nd rebate" when they switch over to mpeg4 and the receiver no longer works. There are a lot of HD Directvs that I know of that are really worried about there equipment investment 2-3 HD receiver, HD tivo, etc.) being worth nothing in a...

    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    Which Motorola box do you have? On the 6412 if you press menu button on the box while the box is powered off, you get into the setup options and can select 16:9. Then installer knew nothing of this, but the internet is a wonderful thing.

    Voomer moved to Comcast – initial thoughts

    I've had both for about 2 months When I moved, I cancelled directv and ordered voom. Couldn't get CBS or ABC and other misc locals OTA so when I signed up for cable modem HSI I was going to get the basic cable package (~$13.00) which in turn would take $10 off my HSI bill...then I heard about...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Not necessarily...while watching an OTA channel, pull the access card for the receiver and you see that the receiver gets upset with you. Now this could just mean that the receiver needs an access card present in order to run or it could mean that is actually needs to read data from the access...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Well if activation is required for the OTA tuner to keep working you may be good for a couple of days or longer, but if the ird card doesn't get activation updates eventually the receiver will stop working (again provided that the OTA requires activation) Some possbile scenarios: End of Life...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Not sure where to properly reply to this (move as needed), but since other Denver voomers may be interested: I have both voom and Comcast (I traded in my old D* dish and got a pretty sweet deal: cable modem+HD DVR+HBO for 1 yr at ~86/month--of course that's well over $100 after 12 months)...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    I wonder if it's just the boxes and remotes....or do they want all the cables as well? I doubt it (having the extra DVI cables is nice for my PCs)...I guess we'll know in a few weeks. As for the installers, maybe one could chime in here, perhaps they have to pay some "security deposit" to...

    Voom should enable OTA permanently!

    Hummm...well maybe I'll have them remove the dish and keep the OTA unless it's an all or nothing type of thing. As for picking up the boxes, hope they schedule weekend pickups...I'm not taking off from work for an installer to come pick a box up. I wonder what happens wif you tell them you'll...

    What booster to get

    So if I already have an amplified winegard sensor OTA (the wing looking thing), will the an additional amplifier (like mentioned above or in place of the existing one) help at all. My case is that I get most of the the locals, but CBS broadcasts at such low power that I get frequent...

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    Well if Twin Box/view is like that in my Sony LCD, you are effectively splitting your screen in two so the picture on the set is now smaller and the smaller picture looks sharper since there is now less pixels "highlightling" all the SD artifacts. I know with mine, I can resize the twin view...

    SciFi channel volume

    Is anybody else experiencing low volume when on the SciFi channel? All my other channels come in with fine volume levels (that is they are all about equal), but when I turn to channel 523 (SciFI), I need to notch up the volume quite a bit as it is so low. I haven't tried using an analog audio...
