    Can you use VOOM STB for local HD only?

    Can I just point the dish and upgrade the software and then use it for ota channels? I have all the equipment but I no longer sub to voom. I am not trying to hack or anything like that I just don't feel that the service is worth it and I want to use the hardware for something... Thanks

    Can you use VOOM STB for local HD only?

    I have a voom stb with software 5.68 on it. Can I use it as on OTA only STB? This would work perfect just to get the locals in HD. Thanks!

    As with anything there is good and bad. This is ridiculous! You shouldn't have to go and hold an installers hand to make sure it works correctly. Are everyone of you getting all your OTA's and Voom channels with no issues?

    I don't want to pay 600.00 for a Dish 811 system. It ins't worth it, and I like my PVR501 with no monthly fee for the PVR functions.

    I posted all this already... ART! All you had to do was read my posts. Don't be suprised if they charge you another $50.00 ladder fee. The satellite is a computer, stuff is not going to just magically come in later in the day because the installer said so. The dish pointing has to be at...

    Hello... To be honest with you... I would keep echostar. I also have DishNetwork and find myself using it more and more. The only time I switch to voom is to wach HD locals. So unless you plan to get the full VaVaVoom package for 80.00+ a month I would say just go and get a HDTV set top box...

    Snow while changing channels becomming a blizzard

    Mine does this whenever I change HD to SD and if the HD formats are different. I just thought this was how it tuned...? I set my Voom box to the auto select (all 4 bars.)

    Adant Adant is not a good company and they play tons of games. This same thing happened to me, no call, no show. Every time there is an issue Adant trys to blame voom or some other provider. This Brent or Brant guys talks all technical and then when you come back at him he says, I don't...

    Not true. They have been moved to the VA VA Voom package. You would have to be gradfathered in to get them.

    ESPN HD, TNTHD, BRAVOHD, etc... Are no longer part of the Voom package. You have to get VA VA VOOM, or pay 14.99 a month for them. That is what is pissing me off. Corporate acutally gave us the programs because the channel guide still says you get them, but they are modifing the webpage.

    So, I have had voom for a couple days... My view on it? It isn't worth it. The only channels I end up watching are the locals! So you can just get an antenna and a HDTV OTA box! Voom's picture is amazing but it is only on channels that you will never watch. The Cinema channels really show...

    I ordered late May. I think it was like the 22nd. I raised holy hell with Voom and Adant. Brant at Adant finally called and sent the guy out. I still don't have channel 2. I will come in then go out, come in, go out. This is the problem with Channel 2. WBBM broadcasts off of the...
