    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!

    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...

    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...

    Sports Blackouts, ESPN Alternate

    Can I ask why the alternate channel showing my Astros is blacked out? I thought the whole point of having these "alternates" was to not have blackouts. Someone please explain this to me. Also I believe this is the first broadcast of the Astros on Voom, and I can't watch it. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Moving Voom Service

    I'll be moving to a new place soon, and assuming I can still receive Voom (balcony faces correctly, etc.) what are Voom's procedures? AFAIK, 3 things could happen: 1. Move my own dish and receivers. This is what I would want to do, but might be seen as a self-install :eek: , which a 4-letter...

    Funny Story...

    My wife turns on CBS this afternoon and the HP golf tourney is on. Oprah is on the analog channel. "Why isn't Oprah on?" "This is the digital channel, Oprah isn't on this channel." "This is CBS right?" "Yeah, but it's the digital CBS." "So you're telling me with our big HDTV, fancy...

    Want to make Voom's HD look better?

    I just got finished using Digital Video Essentials, and WOW :shocked did my TV look so much better. If you have a buddy who has this DVD borrow it and use it; or buy it or rent it if you can. Literally night and day difference. I've heard that AVIA is a good disc too, but I haven't used that...

    Repeating Planner Entry?

    Is there a way to have the planner programmed for all episodes of a show so I don't have to redo it every couple of days? I'm trying to setup my tivo (even though it doesn't work yet :mad: ) with my voom box so i can manually record stuff. Any help is appreciated!

    Sports Plus Pack

    I noticed when I got my voom installed that they gave me a note saying that the Starz and "Sports pluspacks" might be going away on April 5th. I know this is not the case based on numerous threads here. However, what sports pack are they talking about?? Speed and Tennis?? :confused:

    Question about an SDTV

    I have 2 receivers, one hooked up to a non-HDTV via component. I have the box output set to 480p. The HD channels and locals look tall and skinny, but the SD channels are perfect. I understand that HD channels aren't going to look right on a SDTV. However, I could stretch digital locals when...

    Keeping my fingers crossed...

    I called Voom a couple of weeks ago and got an install date for friday, 4/9. I called Installs, Inc. today to get the local installer's number like the wonderful guide on this site instructed. They did confirm the appointment but wouldn't give me a local installer #. So now I won't really know...
