    Voom LNB different from others?

    Can I use D* or E* dish/LNB to receive VOOM? I am suspecting that my VOOM LNB has degraded and don't want to deal with another incompetent Install Inc tech. If Voom LNB is unique, can I buy one somewhere?

    SD picture quality

    I have been enjoying Voom for a couple of months. All the HD channels are spectacular but many SD channels such as CNN, ESPN look much worse compared to cable channels. In particular, any deep red area on CNN always have bright sparkles running horizontally. Does anyone see the same problem...

    How do you record local channels on Tivo?

    Has anyone figured out how to record local channels on Tivo? During the Tivo setup, if you select "satellite only" as the source, then Tivo will only show channels 100 and up. If you select "satellite and antenna", you get all the local channel programs available in Tivo but Tivo expects to...
