    Will a D* STB scan for local cable channels?

    Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it by searching. By putting a local cable line into the ANT jack on the back of a D* box, can you do a scan for locals? I just have a basic cable "lifeline" of just the SD networks. Thanks!

    Pix Are Pretty, But HD Delay Bugs Viewers

    I like how the response to the pixelation was: “You’re going to see that more with fast-moving sports,” Hewson said. “Anything that is moving is going to be a little more noticeable than something that’s still.” Are you kidding me? Blame it on multicasting, blame it on bouncing the signal...

    Yeah Spring is kinda far from the antenna farm. Amp your antenna. If that doesn't work, amp your antenna, wear a tinfoil hat, and touch the TV. See what happens. :D Good luck!

    I don't know why you aren't getting 51, but I can hopefully point out some things. 1. KNWS has no HDTV programming. They broadcast a digital signal. It's 2 different things. All HDTV is digital, but not all digital is HDTV. Case in point, the local news on KPRC @ 10PM is a digital broadcast...

    Blame Granny if your Favorite Local isn't Broadcasting in HD

    Well if that's the case just listen to a radio station that isn't owned by Clear Channel. Oh wait, nevermind.

    Blame Granny if your Favorite Local isn't Broadcasting in HD

    Edited for content: My point exactly. We're not talking about the man giving someone money for food or hospital visits. We're talking about a TV converter box. And by the way, if you are that bad off, WHY HAVEN'T YOU SOLD YOUR TV YET?? If $10 means a week's worth of meals, I'm pretty sure...

    Blame Granny if your Favorite Local isn't Broadcasting in HD

    If you have to have the government GIVE you a $10 box, you need to get off the couch, pawn your TV, and go get a job.

    More billing problems

    I just don't want this to keep happenening, its not a big deal. Trust me, I have other credit cards. *sigh*

    More billing problems

    I cancelled the credit card just in case Voom still can't get their sh** together, which is extremely likely. Because of this, I won't ever go back to Voom. I posted here to warn others about my experience, in the hopes that they will protect themselves.

    More billing problems

    Why should Wilt have to do everything for this company? Why couldn't a supervisor handle a simple refund? Like I said before, I hope they fail, and fail HUGE. I tried calling my CC company, but they said since it was a recurring charge it reflects a contract between me and Voom, therefore...

    More billing problems

    I cancelled Voom about a month and 1/2 ago, and the other day my CC got charged for a month of service. I called Voom and asked them about it, and they said that the installers had not yet posted my equipment as returned, therefore not closing my account. The CSR put me on hold, called the...

    Voom rated "best HDTV programming" by Stuff Magazine

    as opposed to that "other" HD provider?? Voom has almost every currently available HD channel in its lineup. That's like saying Tivo is the most wanted DVR.

    The unofficial pity-party thread

    I moved to a new apartment and it turns out that I have no LOS for Voom, D*, or E* due to trees. I have to go back to the horrible tragedy that is *cable*. :river NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Did you try to get Voom and had no luck due to LOS issues? If anyone else feels my pain, feel free to...

    Trees blocking signal - will a larger dish work?

    how far uphill are we talking? It's possible to mount a dish in a tree, so that could be a third option depending on your situation. As far as a bigger dish goes, Voomers have made progress with a bigger dish to fight rain fade so I guess the same principle would work for trees. A 24' tower...

    H-Town Voomers post here (yee haw!)

    A couple quick definitions: Manual scanning: the ability of the voom box to scan for local channels that your antenna can receive. Currently Voom does not have this feature. OTA: stands for Over The Air programming, also known as local digital/HD channels that you get with an antenna...

    you should just take those trees out, ash-style. :D

    NBA Draft has me hyped for coming season....but

    I made sure I told the CSR it was the reason I canceled. I'll come back as soon as they add this, but I just can't justify paying for a second service for one channel. I never thought I would choose one SD channel over 21+ HD channels.

    $150 fee to move VOOM?

    That's BS. When I was going to move with Voom I called and asked what the policy was. She said that I wouldnt pay a thing, and they treat it like you are canceling and signing up as a new sub. Since the free install promo is still going on, this shouldn't be a problem. Call them and tell them...

    [VOOM] Tivo & VOOM

    voomvoom, let me explain how Tivo service works, since you don't own a tivo. Tivo gets guide data from Zap2It, which only has the Voom national lineup. (100 and above) Tivo will only record a show that it has guide data for. It will not tune to any other channel except 100 and above. You can...

    [VOOM] Tivo & VOOM

    The Tivo WILL NOT tune to digital local channels on Voom. You must either set up manual recordings and tune the STB yourself, or use analog sources from cable or an antenna. Also, just because the Tivo has a coax input/output doesn't mean it can tune to a digital OTA channel. The guide data...

    [VOOM] Tivo & VOOM

    you also won't be able to get local channels on the tivo, unless you choose "Sat and cable" or "sat and antenna" and have analog locals. Tivo will not be able to tune your local channels through the Voom STB.

    disappointed with programming

    Hahaha your opinion is shared by many more people than just your friend. As far as waiting for Voom to change, you might be waiting a good while.

    Thank You for calling Voom..............*&X&#@#

    i got right through when i called.... try calling @ 11PM or some other such time off-peak. If you are trying to cancel, hit 1 and say you want to cancel but can't get through and demand to speak to someone RIGHT NOW who can do this.

    Is VOOM selling subscriber data to direct marketers?

    you know if you are really peeved, just send the postage paid envelope back empty. That's what I did for political junk mail, until they got the point. Or you could take a hint from Maddox and send them your local grocer or pizza coupons.
