    Getting power to OTA antenna

    Ok. I put my PS-9370 on the multimeter. Yes, it is 18 VAC coming out of it. And it works when connected straight to the antenna without a dipexor or switch involved.

    Getting power to OTA antenna

    I have not measured the output of the amp. I will take a multimeter home from work and check it tomorrow. I was quoting the specs from the Winegard website.

    Getting power to OTA antenna

    The PS-9370 is the correct power supply for the Sensor II antenna. I have both and they are working fine. From their website: "PS-9370 POWER SUPPLY (117 VAC IN/18 VAC OUT) Replacement power supply for 117 VAC operation. Red indicator light indicates unit on. Polyfuse protected. Use with...

    E-mail from Voom - Official Shutdown Notice

    Yep. It is a cute little trick to make sure that the email made it through spam filters of the isp and Outlook and was seen by the end user. Someone will track the weblog and use it to verify that the customer has received notice of the pending changes.

    E-mail from Voom - Official Shutdown Notice

    Has anybody noticed the individualized web bug/gif at the bottom so that can track that you "read" the email? Some times it is nice to have a non-html email program.

    Pulling the Plug on Voom Subscribers

    Well, I have seen two DSL companies go dark. One did it with 30 days notice, and the other with 24 hours notice. I expect that we will get a day's notice on 999, and then a day of every channel being 999, and then "click". The FCC issue is the only holdout we hopeful few have.

    Cablevision Board To Debate Voom Fate

    Is this too far to get local HD?

    Go to http://www.winegard.com/offair/chartselector.htm and look at the chart. You will need a bigger antenna than the default Voom provides. You are just past the edge of reliability with the GS2000A antenna which is the default. Try to get Voom to simply approve an upgrade of the antenna...

    Voom Ces Dvr Demo Now Online!

    They have new encoders that get a 5-10% better compression on MPEG2. They have been testing and tweeking them for about a month now. That is the purpose of channel 700 vs 999. 700 is on the new hardware as well as HGTV and FOOD. If/when they roll the rest of the channels to the new encoders...

    Rainbow Spin-off is dead

    No, it says he knows how to *play* the stock market. 1) His company makes a statement. 2) Stock jumps 13% 3) He sells his stock he had earlier said he would sell. 4) He makes an extra 1/2 million. Not bad for a week's work.

    VOOM adds 5 new channels!

    http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennasatelazposcalc.html and AMC 6 is the name of "Rainbow 2". It doesn't have Rainbow 1 on there, but using the E* 3 bird is close enough. Using the numbers coming out of that calculator, it looks like there cannot be a one dish fits all scenario. Boston would...

    Is there a way to make "view first unread" automatic?

    I looked in the control panel and didn't find it. So, is there a way to make "view first unread" automatic? It would make my reading of the board and long threads a little faster.

    Ellipitcal Dishes Coming Soon??

    Nope. It has a receiving angle of 3 degrees. Rainbow 1 is at 61.5 and the new one is at 72 degrees. So, they are too far apart, and require an elliptical dish that has multiple focus points to catch both birds.

    VOOM adds 5 new channels!

    Ok. Since "Rainbow 2" is going active, I hereby make a formal request for the following to be implemented after some of the userbase is able to receive signals from Rainbow 2: 1) move redundant SD channels from Rainbow 1 to Rainbow 2. Specifically: 202 HBO East SD 203 HBO West SD 223...

    Couldn't VOOM free up some bandwidth by deleting SD channels with HD couterparts?

    Wrong. I had Voom 2 months before I got my hd-lite projector, and I am still saving my dimes to get the Sony XBR. The cost was the same as cable, and the picture records cleaner on my MythTV and ReplayTV DVRs.

    How many clients will you need or willing to pay for?

    One DVR and one client. The DVR is a sat receiver, server and client. The client is a little box with network and IR in, and all video types out.They were working on a way that the stb could also act as a client so you don't have to switch equipment. That was reportedly part of the delays in...

    Rain fade short tem solution vs. Long term

    Hasn't anybody realized that they aren't going to be "done" in October, but starting in October. If you are going to be peaking a dish, you have to have the satellite signal available to home in on.

    The Home Entertainment Server

    It is equivalent to a basic MythTV box today. In fact, they are a little behind in capabilities. A lot of their "future" options are available today with MythTV*. But, for a box that is to be treated like a toaster, it has a reasonable user interface and price. Some people do not want to...
