    How Howard Stern's move may effect Voom.

    No more Bush? You really believe this has anything to do with Bush? If so, you are beyond naive. The so-called "Decency" crusade is a popular cause amongst politicians of all creeds, including Democrats. Do you think if Gore had been president, the FCC would not have done the exact same...

    new cinema

    What? The movie is crap. Just because the guy used the word "interracial" does not mean he's "prejudiced" as you suggest in your post. Don't be so politically correct or ultra-sensitive.

    FINALLY A FIX! Thanks VOOM!

    Low volume fix? Fox News is one of favorite stations. How did you get the volume fixed? I have the same problem! MArtin-

    OTA Signal Strong but Not Displaying on TV

    Pbs Subchannels - Ct Pbs I'm in Connecticut. I get 53-1 (PBS HD) loud and clear but no 53-2, 53-3, 53-4 or 53-5 even though they are mapped. Instead, I get the "no signal available" black screen. Moreover, when I do a manual scan, the box recognizes all of the subchannels, but, again, no...

    Are you getting a signal from 321, 593 & 594 (post here)?

    Connecticut I'm in Connecticut: 1-I get 321 (NBCHD) Yeah!! :D 2-The CSR told me I'm not eligible to get the other two feeds (593, 594). :rolleyes: Martin-

    You wont see this or anything like it on Voom - WHY NOT?

    Bikini Destinations :D No matter how good looking anyone's wife is, any guy with a pulse would be happy to check out babes in skimpy outfits. It's only natural. You know what they say, "married but not castrated" he he :D

    Voom and Comcast? Compatible, friendly?

    Comcast/voom In addition to Voom, I still retained my Comcast HD locals plus INDHD. The Voom box connects to my Sony via the DVI and the Comcast box connects to my Sony through component cable. It's a sweet set up, except for the "pain" of switching inputs on my tv, receivers, and audio...

    Voom satellite down?

    Fried Box The Voom installer came in today and brought me a new box with the new software! Unfortunately, I still DID NOT get any signal. He checked the cable between the satellite dish and the house and found that there was a problem with it. (The cable was buried it so we don't know how it...

    Voom satellite down?

    Service Out I guess I'm not the only one! :( I lost service a few days ago; No sat or OTA channels! The little satellite icon light remains RED at all times. The CSR believed it was a fried LNB but that does not appear to be the case inasmuch as I replaced the LNB and still did not work...

    Lost Signal Overnight - Blown Lnb?

    Lost Signal Overnight - Blown Lnb?

    Blown Lnb? Stone: I'll check on the "unauthorized" issue. For VOOM to hit the box, would a phone line have to be installed to the STB? Funky: Thanks. Yes, I did the two types of rebooting (hard and soft). Hopefully, it's the LNB or the authorization issue, particularly since I've never...

    Lost Signal Overnight - Blown Lnb?

    Hi everyone, I've been with VOOM since 5/8, with no major problems whatsoever, and always enjoyed a good 95+ signal strength. As of yesterday morning, however, I had lost my signal. I get no SAT and no locals (I only got 2 anyway :) ). I checked all connections and everything is good...

    Funny thing Directv told me about Voom

    Direct TV Customer Retention Group After our new house was built and we moved in earlier this year, I got multiple calls from the Direct Tv customer retention group (I was a subscriber at our prior home). I actually commend them for being very aggressive and persuasive. In any event, I...

    Wineguard OTA

    Ota Winegard Hi, The Voom receiver supplies the power to the antenna (through the coax) so there is no separate connection to a power source. The fact that you only get one local simply may due to your location. For example, I got the Wineguard "bi-directional" OTA installed on Monday...

    Upcoming Upgraded Ota Install

    Hd Boxes No, one box has nothing to do with the other. They're two completely different animals. :) As to the new house, just make sure you have a clear line of sight to the Southern Sky. Don't worry about it, just let them figure it out when they get to your house. Martin-

    Upcoming Upgraded Ota Install

    Hd Locals Yes, unfortunately it looks as though you won't be able to get the locals via the OTA antenna. (I just checked antenna web for the Haddam zip code and it shows you only will be able to pick up ABC and two PBS stations). However, even if you don't want the antenna installed, just...

    Upcoming Upgraded Ota Install

    Update Hi Bro, Yes, I'll be taking monday morning off; the guy told me he'd be here at 8:30AM to install a Winegard Bidirectional antenna which he claims should adequately address my needs. (See link). http://www.starkelectronic.com/wgs2000.htm I think the boss installer ("Biggie" :D...

    Well I'm Voomin

    Options You're really far away from the towers so I'm not sure if upgrading you to a bigger antenna plus a preamp would be at all helpful. :( I'm wondering if Voom would "let you" pick up the New York networks? (Anyone?) If everything else fails, you could try getting your HD locals...

    Upcoming Upgraded Ota Install

    Follow up Hi there, Well, they showed up around 10AM and, after 45 minutes of bitching about how high the roof was and that he was affraid to go up in the ladder, etc, he told me that the antenna he was going to install was more than I actually needed to get the locals! (It was a gigantic...

    Upcoming Upgraded Ota Install

    :rolleyes: Well, tomorrow (6/4) is the date of my service call for installation of an upgraded antenna for the local stations. I'm in Middletown, CT and within 20 miles of most of the digital stations. As I've noted before, the installer did not install the Stealth the day I got my Voom...
