    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    Wel,, then I would have to go and start cutting my neighbor's trees or install 60 ft pole. :mad:

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    I have exactly the same problem. No LOS for 110/etc. I may just go with the HD pack but I will miss out on feeds that come from the other birds.

    All 10 VOOM Channels on Echostar will be on 61.5!

    Let me understand - HD pack will have other feeds that E* currently carries, so technically to get all of your $9.99+5.00 worth the sub would need 2 dishes. (In my case the second will just look at my neighbor's trees). Is that right?

    All 10 VOOM Channels on Echostar will be on 61.5!

    I wonder wether E* will offer the VOOM package separately by itself. I have no LOS for 110. With the combination of cable and VOOM 10 it would not be a bad deal.

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    I am just too confused right now. I think I'll wait past May 1st. Hopefully OTA works Monday night so I can watch 24.

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    That's exactly what I'm wondering since I cannot see the 110.

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    This really sucks. I cannot see the Dish bird - trees are in a way. Voom was the only sat that I can point at... :river

    Voom Sat.

    I had a hard time pointing the Voom dish when it got 1st installed. Finally got it working on a pole. I know I cannot get Dish because of the trees. Where can I look to get the DirectTV pointing angles for both SD and HD. I may be screwed alltoghether.

    NBC is not authorizing VOOM to turn on Olympic Channels outside O&O Tv Station

    I am 19 miles from WVIT NBC30 which is listed as O&O station. I am getting 321 which is the same as my OTA NBC. Just called Voom about 593 and 594. They could not figure it out. The guy said it would take up to 10 days to process. The games will be over by then...

    How I got VOOM NBC HD and SD for the Olympics

    I'm confused. I am WVIT region and Voom gave me only 321 which is the same than OTA WVIT which by the way has better PQ and Dolby 5.1 sound. So what's with the 593 and 594? I called and they told me that I wasn't qualified.

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    Dvlos, This payment issue from local installers is ridiculous. Yes, they do have to buy the stuff and then get reimbursed but according to Installs Inc. once they pre-approve the upgrade based on the customer's complaint the local installer pretty much has a blank check. If still in doubt...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    So I bought CM3020 and put it up last night. I am getting the missing ABC and UPN just fine now. In fact there is 3 ABC feeds. I haven't finished scanning yet but looks like I will be able to pick up other distant feeds as well. To confirm that the installer was an idiot - ABC on vhf IS HD...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    Deja vu it is... I spent 1/2 hour arguing with the installer. He plugged my address into antennaweb.org and like I mentioned before saw TWO channels. I told him to remove the address and leave only the zip code. He refused and said that Voom only accepts channels that this stupid site shows...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    The saga continues. The local installer called and argued that he cannot install the "bigger" antenna because my local channels are within the mileage range of CH 3010 (stealth). One of the channels that I'm missing is 20 miles away and only has 1.9KW transmission tower (yes I can get...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    I cannot help but to continue this thread. Let me first say that I am perfectly satisfied with Voom picture quality and even the troublesome Motorola box. It's the continuing agony with service calls and thickheaded installers. Like I was afraid of the local installer called my house...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    Antennaweb is not very reliable source. If I put in my full address it shows only 2 stations and neither of them are major networks. If I type in only th zipcode it shows 14. Currently I don't get them all. But I do get some that are not even listed. So go figure.

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    Well I just got off the phone with Installs Inc. The lady was very apologetic and told me that all the subcontractors are authorized to make upgrade decision in the field. Also they can call up Installs Inc. anytime since their office is open until 7pm EST. So I have no idea why is this back and...

    Voom/Installs Inc. please get it together

    Despite the total nightmare with installers I have thus far been a happy Voom customer. I am posting this for 2 reasons. One - I hope that someone from Voom or Installs Inc. would read it. Two - information for other's like you about some policies. I ordered Voom back in March. I am not going...

    Scott, It sounds like you're reading the signal from their analog station which is 3390KW. Their digital transmitter is only 0.75KW.

    using RF scan

    I am in the Haddam area and i can easily pick up NBC, CBS FOX from Hartford, another CBS from Springfield. PAX and WB are coming in at 95 no matter which way the antenna is pointing. The trouble ones are ABC and UPN form New Haven. I need to change the antenna height to get them. Either one or...

    using RF scan

    I played with OTA scanning last night and found no new channels even though I should have. I live in the middle of CT and have a rotator. I know I should be getting signals from all over the place. How do you use the RF scanning screen? What numbers are to be placed in the yellow box. I...

    While we are all exited to receive the new software update, there is a lot of boredom going on elsewhere. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=23415&page=1&pp=15

    CONFIRMED: New version 6.10 has arrived! (Please post your observations here)

    I haven't received the 6.1 update yet but reading the stuff here it seems like there is no manual scan for OTA. I'm also in CT and the only way to het ABC and UPN at the same time with FOX, NBC and CBS is to have a rotator. So how am I going to save the channels with automatic scanning when I...
