Hi! I'm using the old Voom box as an OTA tuner, and it works fine - however, two new stations have recently been "born" in my area. I need to simply re-scan local channels. My box refuses to do this! When I go to the installer menu, there is a check mark next to the "scan local channel" option...

Thanks! I must have missed it - so much good info here! :)

Apres Voom, I had to go with DirecTV as I had a line of sight problem with Dish's 110 satellite. However, I bought my own 811 on Ebay, used my old Voom Dish at 61.5 and subscribed to the then HD Pack plus the 10 Voom channels for $19.99/mo. All I can get are the Voom channels, not by my choice...

Maybe I missed it, but from what satellite will the new Voom channels be coming from? I can only get the 61.5 - have a line-of-sight problem with the higher ones. Thanks for any info!

LOL! We've come a long way since I was a kid and you had to actually get up to adjust the volume and/or change the channel! Thanks for the response - guess I'll just have to live with the glitch.

Hi! I just bought one of these so I could use my DVI connection from both my DirecTV and Dish boxes. It works fine most of the time, but tends to "freeze" every once in a while. The power indicator stays lit, but it won't change inputs by the remote, the front button, or the Harmony 880 that I...

afraid I'm an HD snob as well........I don't even look at the other channels to see what they're offering. I just can't look at it - it's like going back to AM radio........

Finally got my service call Saturday - had to postpone it a week after talking to the first tech., who said he had no multi-switch to replace the one I had, which he thought was faulty. The guy moved my dish up to the peak of my roof, where I thought it should have been to begin with, and used a...

I'll let you know what the "technician" has to say after my Saturday service call. This is not an area where there is an abundance of good service techs, so I'm not optimistic......

Thanks for the info - doesn't look good! I did get ESPN HD and HD Net (but not HD Net Movies) in HD prior to the upgrade, however, and I specifically asked the CSR it they had moved these to the 110 satellite. He said nothing had moved, confirmed they were from the 119 in addition to Universal...

I have the HD pkg, but a line-of-site problem for the 110 satellite. Consequently, most of the HD content DirecTV offers is unavailable to me. Until the recent softwear upgrade, I was able to get ESPN HD, Discovery HD, HD Net, and one Fox feed that carried some HD. Now I'm only able to get...

Thanks! After checking your site, I found it, and it is there. However, I think I may not have the Stealth, although the installer called it that. The ota antenna is Wineguard, and apparently it gets its power from the diplexor, and not from the stb. Is that correct? If so, can I put the...

Thanks, Spahoose - I feel like an idiot, but where is the ota module? All I took off was the gray plastic diplexor, as far as I know, but is it part of that? I feel like I did something incorrectly, and I'm getting to the age where the obvious is not always all that apparent! (but I still have...

need help using stb for ota I connected the stealth to the back of the stb with coax, after removing the diplexor, into the connector for antenna. When I do a channel search, nothing shows up. I only got one channel ota before, but it was a high def channel I don't get with D. First I used the...

drop-outs and dark pic I thought my eyes were going, but the pic is definately darker.....the drop-outs are annoying....called "tech support" and was told there was a known issue with the HDMI connection, but that they were working on a fix for it. The CSR advised me to use the component...

My 2 cents: if your install isn't what it needs to be, call Voom and they'll bend over backwards to fix it for you. My first experience wasn't terrific, but I called and got an installer who did it right, basically from the ground up, and I've been Vooming and happy ever since. They can't keep...

using DVI with Toshiba RPCRT @ 1080i

I second that, and it would be GREAT to have networks! However, I'll settle for keeping what we have for now and be thankful I can always find something in HD! The exclusives have improved tremendously in the past few months.....have you checked out HD NEWS lately? They're doing a very decent...

Let me add my thanks for your efforts to keep Voom alive with its offerings of superior everything! I look forward to being a loyal customer and very vocal supporter in the years to come.

Recruitment mode.... Okay, my mistake.....I'll find some other way to search and identify! Is the large oval dish that I once had for D a sure sign?

Let's go into recruiter mode, folks Great idea with the emails - we can ALLl do that! Also, I'm going to stop by the local Sears store after work and make sure the sales force is AWARE that VOOM is alive and well! Beyond that, I've noticed some houses in my area with the two E dishes, meaning...

I've had V for eight months. Had rain fade, got 24" dish. No help. Finally got a guy who knew what he was doing, moved whole dish, had great results for about a month. When he moved the dish, however, he said the 24 " dish should have come with a longer arm as it didn't look right to him with...

I recently had a no-call, no-show service appointment, and when I called Voom to let them know, the CRS could NOT have been nicer! I was on hold forever while she waited to get in touch with Installs, Inc., but she kept checking back with me every few minutes, and did her absolute best to fix...

Obviously, Installs, Inc. is alive and well. I didn't mean to start any rumors! But that's exactly what I was told on the phone as an excuse for my no-call, no-show service call. Anyway, I got a really GREAT installer on Sunday, and he found multiple problems. He was with me all afternoon, and...

Here's an interesting tidbit.....I was scheduled for a service call yesterday between 8-12; picture break up or no signal most of the time. I called at 10:30 to confirm, and the csr told me everything was on. So I waited. At 5:15, I called to see what had happened. Very nice crs, but was on hold...
