    HD offerings in Winchester, VA!!

    That's pretty much the same lineup that we are getting down here in Danville, VA except we aren't getting an NBC affiliate in HD for some reason. I've been very pleased with the quality of the HD channels.

    Just cancelled my account. They will pick up equipment.

    I decided to go ahead and cancel my account in hopes of recouping some of the $64.73 monthly fee that I had been billed on 4/2 plus I had Adelphia bring out a HD/DVR box yesterday. The CSR wanted to know why I was cancelling early and I told him that I had already disconnected and unplugged...

    Anyone know if they will credit your bill?

    Just curious, my monthly bill just cycled on the 2nd so I am looking at about 3 weeks credit if I cancel today. Does anyone know if they will actually pro-rate and credit you back for the unused time or is there no recourse? I'm calling Adelphia today and getting them to bring out a HD DVR...

    Need Dish installation help

    Well I've spent the day aiming, reaiming, skewing, lowering, raising, and cursing. I have had 110 and I have also had 119, but not both at the same time. I've tried everything you guys suggested in regards to aiming, but it didn't help. Finally, I switched the cable going into the multiswitch...

    Need Dish installation help

    when you say cover it up, what should I cover it with? The more I read, the more confused I become. Also, in my menu, there is no option for Dish 500, just Superdish Installation with 3 sat, 4 sat, full, and ALT with checkboxes. What should I check? Thanks again for all the help, guys.

    Need Dish installation help

    Thanks for replying. I do have 2 LNB arms and they do both run into the switch and come out as one line which is running to my receiver. Everything is hooked up correctly, I can verify that. I guess I had no idea that you had to lock in two different satellites. I only got one set of...

    Need Dish installation help

    I've got a problem, might be simple, but I don't know. I recently purchased a Dish 500 system with the SW-21 multiswitch. I had no clue what I was doing, but I used the angles that were provided for me and tried to aim my dish. After a little work, I finally got a 118 signal on satellite 110...

    NFL HD Starting Mid August or Sept 2004?

    For the record, this is the NFL Network's schedule of televised preseason games. The games that will be broadcast live are noted. Unfortunately, only a half a dozen or so of the 54 games will be live. For me, watching a preseason game is not something I get psyched over, watching a replay of...

    NFL HD Starting Mid August or Sept 2004?

    I'm trying to understand this. When you guys say "Game of the Week" do you mean a live HD broadcast of an NFL game on Sunday or a replay in mid week of a game that was played on Sunday? So I guess what I'm asking is aside from the NFL Network going HD and a few preseason games being...

    VOOM STB Version 7.26 (2.30): Features/Bugs/Requests

    Ever since I got the download on Tuesday night I have been having dropouts and breakups on all the Voom original HD channels. It has nothing to do with tuning from a weak OTA channel either. I cannot watch Rave or Monsters for 30 seconds without a dropout. I don't recall any problems with...

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Actually, I got Sean to get my mapping changed. So before I got it changed, I couldn't pick up any channels with the antenna pointed in that direction. I think if I they would go ahead and send the update out, my OTA problems might get solved since I am now getting a strong signal from two...

    Upgraded OTA Antenna, what type & Range?

    Voom upgraded me from a Winegard Sensar II to a Radio Shack VU-90XR antenna. The VU 90XR is supposed to have range from 70-90 miles. I received no locals that I wasn't already getting. Going to call Voom back today and see if they will upgrade me yet again.

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Well it gets better. Today I took the line coming into the Voom receiver from the OTA antenna and plugged it into the digital antenna input on my tv. Did a scan for channels and not only did it find 3 channels that Voom's receiver can't get, but it picked up 4 Roanoke, VA channels that are 80...

    Newbie VOOM OTA problem

    Well the Voom people are going to tell you that the Winegard Sensar II gets it's power from the Voom receiver, therefore the installers don't even bring along the power source that came with the antenna. My installer told me that the antenna needed more power than the receiver was giving it...

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Actually, Danville, Virginia is 40 miles from Greensboro, NC and 67 miles from Lynchburg, VA and 80 miles from Roanoke, VA. I don't really call it the sticks, but obviously it must be since all of these locals broadcast in such low power.

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Well I don't put a lot of faith in Antennaweb because I can pick up channels with my Silver Sensor that they said I couldn't get. Also I am now mapped to Greensboro NC, I was originally mapped to Roanoke, VA and I did pick up my CBS very well. I do know the Fox channel in Greensboro broadcasts...

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    So do you think Voom will further upgrade my antenna if I call them and tell them this upgrade offered no improvement? The installer told me that this antenna that I just got was the best that Voom had allowed them to use so far.

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    There is no diplexer now...he took it off and ran a seperate line from this rooftop antenna to the back of the Voom receiver. The power that's running from the receiver to the Winegard is still running, but the Winegard is not even hooked up anymore. He left the Winegard attached to my dish...

    Got my antenna upgrade yesterday...(sigh)

    Well I finally got my upgraded antenna yesterday. All the while the installer was telling me that I was going to get everything, even channels that I didn't want. He mounted it on an existing pole I already had on my roof and pointed it south-southwest, where my locals originate. I was...

    No "info" after reboot

    Earlier tonight, I was forced to reboot because my channels got all screwed up and I was getting the same thing on every channel. After I rebooted, all my channels were fine again, but there was no programming info on any channel. I know after a reboot that there is a period of time it takes...

    Got re-mapped and can now pick up CBS and NBC

    Well I am able to pick up both of them with my Silver Sensor plugged into the Digital Antenna port on my tv. Not sure when you called them, but I was picking them up last week.

    Took the plunge and ordered Voom

    The pole that they used for mine was about 2-3 inches around and was about 7 feet long. They buried it about 2 feet deep so the dish stands around head high.

    Got re-mapped and can now pick up CBS and NBC

    Yes, Sean I read that. When I received your e-mail, I just checked my channels out of curiousity and it had already taken place. My post here was to verify that I was re-mapped, but was only receiving 2 of the 4 networks. My signal strength is still weak, but since Greensboro is closer...

    Got re-mapped and can now pick up CBS and NBC

    I was mapped to Roanoke, VA which is 80 miles away and was receiving no locals with a signal strength of 19. Sean kindly got me re-mapped to Greensboro, NC for locals and I can now pick up CBS and NBC. I also pick up 3 different PBS channels, but FOX, ABC, and UPN are a no go. Of course my...
