    Is it just me or do other experience Olympics Pixelation?

    I know that there is a lot of action at the Olympics but I was hoping that the action would not be pixelated. I noticed it while I was watching diving the other day and I've noticed it while watching several other events. I get NBC over the air and the OTA strength is 97 so I figure that I...

    WTF?? Voom wants $200 to rent an additional box

    Well I guess I missed that in the docs. I'll probably end up switching back to TW cable now. My fiance is moving in and I need a box in my bedroom since I've been hogging my HDTV playing Halo 2 beta and she doesnt want to watch TV downstairs. She also wants DVR because she has become...

    WTF?? Voom wants $200 to rent an additional box

    :mad: I recently decided that I wanted that receiver for my bedroom so I called VOOM to ask how much it will be. The CSR told me that there would be a 200 dollar install fee and the 15 dollar monthly box fee. I can't believe that they want 200 dollars just to plug a coax cable to the back...

    Is it just me or do others have these problems?

    I have had the following problems but I always forget to ask about them in the forum. 1. When I switch channels I sometimes lose audio on the channel that I switched to. I have to hit the back button to go to the previous channel and then go back to the channel in order to get sound. 2...

    Problem with Equator-HD

    I've also noticed this problem on Equator HD. Why can't all channels appear as good as Discovery HD? I'm always amazed by the visual presentation that I see on DiscoveryHD .

    Is your homeowners association pressuring you about antennas

    I was reading my HOA rules and they state that dishes are limited to 18 inches. They cant see mine at all from the street. It can only be seen from my back yard. I have a wooded lot so they have no business back there. I just hate that VOOM is going to bigger antennas. I'm not worried about...

    Poor PQ What should I do

    The receiver is set for 720P which is my TVs native resolution. I've tried switching it to 1080i to see if ti made a difference. The channel was ABC OTA but Im nut sure what resolution the game was broadcast in. I recall reading that it was 720p from someone over in avsforum. I didnt...

    Poor PQ What should I do

    I was watching the NBA finals last night on my Samsung DLP and I was very dissapointed. I am glad that I didn’t invite people over. The game didn’t look like HD. Some of the close up shots were nice and crisp but full court in game action was poor. It looked better on my regular TV. I...

    Some installers taking DVI cable from Voom box and selling on EBAY

    I think my installer tried to keep one of my DVI cables. I have two boxes. One of my TVs is HD and the other is non HD without DVI. I noticed that the installer only brought in one DVI cable. I asked about it and he said that he had one in the van that I could have. After VOOM was installed...

    TNTHD DEBUTS ON VOOM TODAY CH 521

    I watched the game last night and it seemed that the game was and wasn't in HD. The closeups look great but when the camera showed a full court view it wasn't as clear as I expected. The picture seemed soft and grainy.

    Landline Required for VOOM??

    My Voom was installed on Monday and the installer said that the line was only to order PPV. Everything that I've read here and on avsforum.com suggests otherwise. Neither one of my boxes is connected but I guess I better plug my line in to be on the safe side.

    Roy Jones Jr. vrs Antonio Tarver?

    I called my cable provider to find out if the fight will be in HD and I was told that it wouldn't. I'm going to hate having people watch the fight on my TV in SD. Maybe I'll let them watch something on Voom before the fight that way they will see the wonders of HD.

    Voom probably wouldnt want to link to the forum because some of the complaining and issues that we bring up may scare potential customers. :)

    VOOM Installations

    Thanks for the tip. Do you know if there is a way to keep some channels from being shown with black bars on the side on a SD TV? One of my TVs is a 30 inch SD set and some local channels appear with sidebars. I don't need the picture to be any smaller on a 30 inch.

    I'm vooming today!! I got Voom installed today and things are good thus far. I have the major OTA channels. I haven't seen any HD content on them yet. I'll check out a few prime time shows tonight to see how it looks. The installer did use the diplexor. I originally wanted dual lines but...

    What should VOOM do to attract more customers?

    Many consumers are unaware of VOOM. I never knew about it until a coworker mentioned it. Advertising in Sears isn't going to cut it. Who goes in Sears these days? The only time I go there is for car batteries and maybe to look at home appliances and that is rare. Most people go to BB, CC or...

    Any Word on the Roy Jones fight??

    I did the only sensible thing and googled this topic. I was directed to the HBO PPV website. There was a link there on ordering PPV and it listed links to Direct, Dish, In demand but no VOOM. Luckily I'll still have cable. I'm not cutting the cord until I check out Voom for a few weeks...

    Any Word on the Roy Jones fight??

    Will Voom offer the Roy Jones fight on PPV? Im getting Voom installed tomorrow and hoping that I won't have a horror story to post on tomorrow. I would like to be able to show off Voom this weekend while my friends are in town and the fight would be the perfect opportunity. I'f Voom doesnt...

    The installer says $80.00 extra charge for separate lines..

    All of the threads that I have read stated that they cannot charge you for seperate runs. If they do you should contact Joe from Installs inc. The e-mail address is jharkins@installs.com. I've heard that some have contacted him and been reimbursed for the charge. I'm getting Voom on Monday so...
