    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    If I leave the Voom STB in an "off" position, will it still amplify the antenna signal? I have Voom STBs still active with the diplexer. I'm curious to know if I can pass the signal from the antenna through the diplexer, forgoing the actual Voom STB, and right into my TV's RF input. In turn, I...

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    Dear Mr. Dolan, On behalf of many Voom customers, CVC customers and shareholders, I'd like to thank you. When it came time to put your money where your mouth was, you personally voted to shut Voom down. Thank you for years of taking my CATV dollars as well as shareholder...

    Who is actually in charge of the VOOM shutdown process?

    Tom Rutledge (sp?) is handling the Rainbow DBS shutdown for CVC.

    INSTALLERS NOTiFIED TO SEND BACK RECEIVERS

    The question that should be asked, is there a way to block Voom/CVC from filing a complaint with your credit agency? If there is, then it's incumbent on them to accommodate you with pickup times et. all. Lord knows they're not going to take you to court over $1200. Too costly for the company. I...

    Voom: D-Day & Beyond?

    Charles Dolan petitioned the FCC to block transfer of said transponders prior to CVC and Voom LLC's announced shutdown. By the time the FCC rules on the transfer of assets, Voom will have been long gone, and Dolan's petition will be moot. Echostar merely needs to point out Charles Dolan...

    Voom: D-Day & Beyond?

    We already heard from Chuck. He voted "Yes" to shutdown Voom. The deal CVC made him was as sweet as it gets. He couldn't get the funding. He wasn't about to risk his own money despite many rumblings. He decided to end it all before he had to pay dime 1 out of pocket. In the end, The Dolan/Voom...

    Voom's PQ Is Lousy

    I must admit, I find Voom's SD PQ not as good as Cablevision's analog extended basic. Cablevision's PQ has far better color saturation, clarity, and less overscan. Granted, I'm viewing Voom on an SDTV, so I can't compare HDTV offerings by both companies. I will say Voom's HDTV channels scaled...

    Voom Motorola DSR-550 Overscan

    Is there a way to correct Voom's STB overscan? I've compared the Voom broadcasts to Cablevision's analog channels, and noticed the DSR-550 cutting off portions of the screen. Is this normal when using NTSC TVs with Voom?

    Phone line required?

    My installer didn't bother to hook up the phone cable. He left it in the box. Funny thing, I taught HIM about the red button on the Voom box! Originally, when he hooked up the DSR-550 to my 27" Wega via component, the screen was going crazy. When 480i was finally selected, everything was fine...

    Picture Quality NOW!!!

    I must say, I'm terribly disappointed by Voom's PQ for a lot of SD channels. I've been an iO and Cablevision extended customer since 1978, and Voom just isn't matching up. Many channels, especially C-SPAN and Fox News (not endorsing FNC, but pointing out the poor PQ) look far WORSE than analog...

    Voomers in NYC metro area (including Locals)

    I did, and posted the data of the ESB Combiner networks, as well as the two channels I also wanted to pick up. I was hoping, based on those stats, someone could recommend a brand/type/model antenna capable of acquiring those signals. The antenna would be supplied (I hope) by Voom themselves, and...

    Voomers in NYC metro area (including Locals)

    I've signing up to Voom, and had some questions. This is an install in Western Suffolk County, and I had questions about Voom OTA reception. Currently, I know WCBS-DT, WNBC-DT, WNYW-DT, WABC-DT, WWOR-DT, and WPIX-DT are on the ESB combiner. Is there an antenna that can pick up the direction for...
