I have a buddy with a "two Receiver" Voom system that needs some help. He had been wrestling with OTA reception in Birmingham, AL and lived through two or three unsuccessful antenna upgrades and finally got the antenna he needs. He called me while his service tech was on the "New Problem"...

Component output on Sammy DLP at 720p.

Well I guess she could also be wrong about the DVR. CSRs what would we do without 'em?

Not so fast,,, I spoke with a CSR yesterday, who seemed fairly informed, that said Voom's new sat will be launched next month. But when I asked for any new info on the DVR she said it is looking more like mid-year rather than March. She said increased memory for the HD content is...

Is the HD pic qual really better on Dish? I've read some really good reviews of several Direct Hd receivers, but never any dish reviews.

I know what you mean. I purchased my first HDTV back in Sep '04 and then signed up with Voom in Nov. I knew that Voom would probably not make it in the long run, I just felt like we had a couple more years before a buyout. I studied Voom for at least six months before i subscribed. The...

More premium HD channels. Cinemax, Starz TMC & Encore like I have with Voom , for now.

Since Voom is now nearing the end of the line, I have been comparing D*s & E*s HD lineup. Both need some additions to please us voomers. So, since they say threads are monitored for user input, please list the HD channels you would MOST like to see added. I've started a similar thread in the...

Since Voom is now nearing the end of the line, I have been comparing D*s & E*s HD lineup. Both need some additions to please us voomers. So, since they say threads are monitored for user input, please list the HD channels you would MOST like to see added. I'll add a similar thread to the Dtv...

My locals are set to map 040 which is Bham, AL. I think I would get better reception from Huntsville 083. How does the stb know this info? And can I change it?

Both DMA in Cullman Anyone else live between Bham & huntsville. 50 mi from each. I am now able to tune RF 49 (waff) & RF 50 (fox6). Currently signal strength is only 29 & 25. I'll be fine tuning. I guess my first stb had a faulty tuner. Have any of you guys had Voom upgrade your OTA...

UPDATE The Tech and I found a bad diplexer (burned). And he replaced my receiver.

Tech from Installs,inc said that my diplexer looked like it had been shorted out or burned up. He said it was actually black. My signal disappeared one afternoon while neighbor kid was raking my leaves. I thought my Receiver had failed. Tech replaced the receiver, switched positions on...

I'm gonna check tomorrow. I usually have 95 or 96 ss. All the way down to zero?? I don't think we've had any high winds recently, but it's worth a shot. Did you have to manually realign your dish(VegasVoomer)?

Another Example: I've had no signal since Thurs 12/30/04. I called VOOM tech support Fri 12/31. They said tech would be out on Mon 1/3/05 AM. They never called or cancelled or showed. I called back last night (45 min call), system was down. I received email from...

This also happened to me when I first signed up. My installer from Dig Ent Plus had been gone about an hour when a girl from Dig Connections(?) called to schedule my Voom Install. Overall I think its a poor communication system between voom , installs,inc., and the local Sub-contractors...

I saw on another forum that HDNET broadcasts HDTV test patterns everyday at 8am, if I remember correctly. Very few people have the ability to generate these signals at 720p or 1080i. These patterns would be very helpful for dialing in your user settings. Just pick better frames than...

Update: Local installer cancelled today's appointment yesterday afternoon. SHOCKER!!

This one from AntennasDirect Looks pretty nice also. Nice site, too. http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=2671&stc=1 DB8 Cropped Studio.jpg Sorry about the sloppy attachment. This was my first time.

Yes Diplexer on back of STB and one on the Dish outside. One run Coax.

Does an amplified Sensar look any different from a non-amped one? In other words can you see the pre-amp or is it an internal component? We rotated the antenna to a few different orientations, all with the same results: Zero signal level on all 3 major networks in both Huntsville &...

Here are the Digital Stations Station --- Channel --- Distance (mi) WBRCDT (WBRC-DT) -- 6.1 (50) -- 48 WVTMDT (WVTM-DT)-- 13.1 (52) -- 48 WHNTDT (WHNT-DT) -- 19.1 (59) -- 42 WTTODT (WTTO-DT) -- 21.1 (28)...

I live in small town in Alabama called Cullman which is located 50 miles south of Huntsville and 50 miles North of Birmingham. I get 0 (none) local channels over the standard antenna, a Sensar II. I was curious to hear some of your opinions on upgrading the antenna. Should I try and...

I love my 4580 ReplayTV and I'm having Voom installed in just 5 days. So, I'll be watching this thread closely.

Finally, a review in a major AV mag. November Stereophile Ultimate AV. Four pages, and pictures too! Overall a good positive review. However, I do disagree with the reviewer about HD quality compared to D***.
