    Threw in the towel today

    Now that the rains have come back to the Pacific NW, I can't see paying for VOOM when I can only receive it about once a week. I cancelled and will probably go with a cable HD package or Dish with a DVR. I'll be back when VOOM adds a West coast satellite or hell freezes over, whichever comes...

    La Liga fan thread

    Hi Folks. There is only one reason I still subscribe to Voom (when I can get it), and that is World Sport coverage of La Liga. With the new season on, I thought other fans may want to discuss the sport here. Any thoughts about about Real Madrid's pick up of Owen? Any Valencia fans out there?

    Sunspot caused problems...bad timing 4 upload

    Looks like Voom picked a bad time to upload new software as there was a wicked sunspot (Sunspot 652) problem the past few days: see Spaceweather.com for details. Also, I found you do not have to be targeted to get the new software. Both my boxes said N/A for targeting last night before I...

Background: I have been stuck with low signal quality for weeks (~65-75, with doupouts everytime fluctuates under 70). They previously installed a...

    SSQ......Sucking in the 70's

    Got the new software upgrade last night. Sat signal quality went from 20's to 70's. Looks like the software just adds 50 to the readout. When it fluctuates below 70, I get pixelation and loss of signal. Right now it is raining and my reading is 65. Needless to say, I have no signal (except on...

    FYI Signal Problems Tonight

    A little help needed with signal quality Finally got somebody who could install Voom yesterday, but signal quality is only in 25-35 range. We tweeked and tweeked but that looks like the best I can get from the dish. When it gets near 25 (like this morning), I lose many channels. What should I...
