    Instalation Failure on Sat 99

    Yup, my locals are in HD. I am in the Philly/NYC area. 08848. Why wouldn't I be able to see any programming? Every channel says please activate (except the DTV previews).

    Starz HD promised by CSR

    Well, low and behold no Starz HD. So I called the next available CSR, he said I wasn't even activated in the correct way and he would investigate further with corporate. To compensate me he is giving me $15 credit for the next 6 months. I give them credit for that, but question their marketing...

    I need help or I may have to cancel Voom (No Local Channels)

    I hear you, however the B@#$#$ at serv. elec haven't upgraded NJ yet. I had to cancel SE because they kept lieing, I had one-way cable service slower than dial-up. If SE had HD I wouldn't bother with VOOM.

    Wineguard OTA

    I just had the installer out yesterday to install the winegard sensar II, I had the same results, no signal at all. I tried both jacks and got nothing. OTA signal just doesn't seem possible 35 miles away from Philly.

    Digital OTA signal strength (is antenna web accurate?)

    Thanks for the advice, I am going to request the CM4228 to be installed. Will this thing work in the attic? I'd hate to have another lightning atractor, you know what I mean?

    Digital OTA signal strength (is antenna web accurate?)

    I am about 30 mi from the philadelphia broadcast tower, antenna web says that I'll get no stations, at all. Hence, the installer did not want to mount any antenna. Shouldn't an antenna w/preamp be able to pickup the signal for that distance? I am also about 50mi away from NYC tower, as they...

    VOOM in Somerset/Morris NJ

    I have heard no success stories yet in our area, although I am probably going to venture on my own, since the local installer knew about as much as I, and they are also just puppets to Installs Inc. I'ver heard that the wineguad 4228 is a good model for purple/pink antenna range. Anybody else...

    VOOM in Somerset/Morris NJ

    I am curious too I live in Hunterdon , NJ and Installs INC and Co., said I would get only one digital channel, a "nothing" channel. They didn't even give me the option of the upgraded antenna, they stated it would be a waste of time. Although, the Philly tower is only 30 miles from my house and...

    Incompetent (Install) Inc I can comiserate, I have been stood up twice now. 1st excuse was that the equipment was bad (I could have told them that, just from this forum) and the following appointment was cancelled becasue the installer was sick. Do they think that we don't have to be a work...
