    How do I recieve an OTA signal from a nearby market?

    That sounds like an affordable proposition considering the fact that Voom boxes are going for $40 or less on ebay. However, how would this be affected by the problems mentioned above, ie attenuation, multipath, ghosting, etc?

    How do I recieve an OTA signal from a nearby market?

    Currently, I still have my Voom box hooked up for OTA tuning. I am curious about how to put up another OTA antenna facing the opposite direction in order to pick up another market's set of stations. According to antennaweb I am within range. Since the Voom dish is still connected and the cable...

    KXTV 10.1 in Sacramento, CA Area mapped wrong?

    Hi, For some reason channel 10.1 in the Sacramento, CA area is not working properly. When choosing that channel it says that there is no signal and lists the channel name as KBSWD1 even tho the local station is KXTV. The channel 10.2 correctly shows KXTVD2 and comes in perfectly. I think...

    Voom promises of 50 channels, price reduction, etc

    Hey everybody, hope this hasn't already been posted, took a look but didn't see anything. Went to the mailbox today and found a letter sent out by Voom talking about a drop in prices for mirror boxes. Price going from $14.50 to $5.00 a box, and they are offering a 2 room install for $49. In...

    Dolans new dish

    Just curious, but if the FCC turns down the 61.5 satellite sale to E*, does that basically mean Chuck Dolan gets a free satellite out of his purchase of Voom since it belongs to Voom?

    Pacers game on TNT and PQ

    I noticed it too. It looks good but you can really see it in the floor when the camera pans across court. The still shots look great though.

    Dell island in mall still selling Voom

    I know not a huge deal, but I just wanted to pass along what I saw in a local mall. There was a Dell computer island set up in the middle of the walk way like they always do, and they had 2 LCD displays pumping Voom infomercials. I asked the sales people if they were still actively selling Voom...

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    To: Mr. Charles Dolan VOOM/Cablevision 01/24/2005 Dear Mr. Dolan, Honestly, the day (if ever) that Voom goes dark I will probably cry myself to sleep. It has been such a great ride so far I don't want it to end. I have had so many hours of HD enjoyment now that I can't even imagine...

    Breakdown Of Montreux Performers Part By Part

    Hey all, is there anyone keeping track of who performs in each separate part of the Montreux concert on Rave? I haven't watched any of it yet because some of the acts in between I wasn't really interested in. Would be nice to know who is actually on in each of the six parts. If someone knows...

    has anyone ever considered....

    has anyone ever considered.... the possibility that more stations do not take the HD plunge because there isnt enough existing bandwidth for the DBS/cable companies to broadcast their new stations? what I mean is.... as far as I know.... Voom is currently close to maxed, D* is currently...

    1.10 software version

    Target Software V. 1.10? Sorry if this has been addressed in the sticky thread about the new software but I don't feel like looking through a million pages to see. My target software version in system settings lists version 1.10. Is that what the target has been saying for version 6.10? I'm...

    Comments from a lurker

    correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 99% of us get Voom because as of this very second Voom has the most HD and no contract? "this second" means: right now. no speculation. no conjecture. simple addition and mathematics. barring future changes. "most HD" means: most channels and broadest...

    This forum is great for the wide variety of backgrounds, interests, opinions, and definitely ages >=] So now I share my first car: 1993 Honda Accord LOLOL perhaps a little bit of disparity in age between us?

    Finally Caught Chicago On Rave

    I just had to comment on this concert. It looks great. It sounds great. By far this has been my favorite concert that I've caught on Rave. This coming from a 23 year old! :P This is really the epitomy of what I was looking forward to on Voom's RaveHD. Hopefully more great things to come with...

    Lost OTA channels, Something I can do?

    I did both the power button reset and unplugging reset still to no avail. I guess asking for a hit is the next and final step? If this doesnt help should I be asking for a new antenna? It doesnt make sense to me that I would have them with very acceptable signal strength (flux from 85-95) on all...

    Lost OTA channels, Something I can do?

    Had my installation about 3 weeks ago now. Initially I could recieve all my OTA stations first channel, but couldn't get any of the multicasted ones (aka get 3-1 but not 3-2 or 3-3). After the software update up to 5.68 I could recieve everything I was mapped for. Couple days ago my PBS station...

    I'm in Davis, CA so I'm coming at the area from a different direction than you. How much was your setup, and let me know if you get it running please! :)

    Why am I getting HDNet mapped to a local channel on VOOM?

    hmm according to antennaweb I'm 67.7 miles from KRON and a bunch of other SF Bay Area locals. Is there an antenna solution that would allow me to pick up these stations? How would that work with my existing OTA setup? I wouldn't mind spending a little cash to get some good additional OTA...

    Voom vs. Direct sucks!

    It is so unfortunate that this "bad box" phenomenon occurs. For those who are uninformed about this possibility getting Voom could become a nightmare because the PQ is being affected without their knowledge. 90% of the complaints I read on here about PQ, I have never noticed on my own set. I've...
