    Diplexor must be installed because of powered antenna? (Depends on antenna model)

    Mine is run like this. I have two cables running from the dish and one cable from the Winegard OTA antenna. All three of these enter the diplexor close to the dish. This diplexor should have three inputs and two outputs. Then one of the two outputs goes to each of my two sat boxes. There is...

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    Thanks a lot. Changing the display resolution to automatic (all 4 lights lit) did the trick. I can now use letterbox or crop for 16:9 material on my 4:3 SDTV. Thanks again!

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    You are referring to the little red button correct? I'll try that. I have it set for 480i now (bottom light lit). I'll try the auto mode (all lights lit). Thanks.

    Let me ask a question--concerning stretch mode

    I have a similar issue when viewing material on my 4:3 SDTV. However, No matter what I choose for picture settings, the picture is squeezed onto the 4:3 set. In other words, everyone looks tall and thin. unless it is an actual SD program, then it looks right. The Today show has black bars on...

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    Well, the installer came back early this morning. He was a really nice guy. I told him what I did for the signal. He said "that's great". I also asked him if he could rearrange the OTA antenna b/c I was missing a couple of channels. I also asked him to please move the diplexor from the dish...

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    I ruled out cabling as the problem. Went up to the dish and moved it a little with my wife watching the meter. Got a solid 90-91. The installer is coming back early Thurs. morning. The boxes were never activated b/c the signal was not high enough for them to hit the box. Oh, well. I was...

    Not Vooming yet :(

    Well, I was right. I was able to get the BFL out and tweak the dish slightly. Signal went to 94. it must have moved back a little when i tightened it, b/c it is now stable at 90-91. The guy is supposed to be back out tomorrow morning. The boxes were never activated today, they could not hit...

    Not Vooming yet :(

    well, now that I am home and have had time to look at the situation, here is what i see. First, he used the diplexor. kinda figured he would, but I have two straight lines to each TV location. This would indicate that the Diplexor was unnecessary. second, he reused some wiring that was in...

    Not Vooming yet :(.....Vooming now though. Well, I'm not Vooming yet. :no The installer has left. I am not able to get a good signal at the stb. Installer says that the signal is 93 at the Sat, but only 30 at the stb. He is blaming my run of cable. He said there were too many connections...

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    JC Seem pretty good so far. I'll have to reserve final judgement until i get home. The wife is giving me the play by play over the phone. I also had already run two new RG6 lines to each TV where there is going to be a voom box. All the guy needs to do is mount the antennas and run the wire...

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    I should probably give them a call to make sure everything is on track still. How many stb's were you going to get? Maybe I can get your spot for tomorrow? :)

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    Wow! that was quick. I hope mine is still going to be on for the 23rd. I was thinking of calling to see if I could schedule for a Sat, but we'll wait to see if it actually happens on the 23rd.

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    That's interesting, I was only offered M-F for installs. No saturdays. I would certainly rather have a Sat appointment So I can make sure I am there, instead of just my wife, when it is installed. Let me know how this works out with JC Experts, they are supposed to be doing my install as...

    Any Voomers in Philly?

    Do you remember who your installers were? I'm supposed to get installed 6/23. I plan to have most of the cable already run and waiting for a hookup. I don't want people messing with my equipment too much. I'm in Bucks County BTW, Northeast of Philly.
