I have phone line connected from day 1 but no caller id in my house. No problems with box locking up with new software. There does not seem to be any consistency with this problem. Shelly

Using the s-video output, I record several shows on HGTV for my wife. These are daily occurring shows and, as we know, the Voom Program Planner does not allow for "daily" programming. Each show must be programmed EVERY day. My workaround is to just program the vcr and to leave the Voom stb...

Storms will give you rain fade which means that your signal may drop 20-30 points and you will lose your reception, but storms would not cause a signal strength of 0. Signal may be down into the 30-60 range would not be enough for reception. A 24" dish should resolve any rain fade issues...

I thought that there was just a $50 investment to have Voom installed now, plus the $10 monthly rental fee on top of the programming. By the way, I would not get Voom myself just for the exclusive channels, although I watch them as much as the other non exclusive ones. The Vavavoom package...

I am convinced that my program guide problem from a week or two ago had nothing to do with resetting resolution as per this thread, since Wilt responded that it was a problem on their end. This is a reminder that everyone doing this needs to do it again once the new software download is...

Do NOT, under any circumstances, purchase a preused or second party Voom set top box. Voom has repeatedly stated that their policy is to NOT activate or authorize any stb other than those purchased directly from them. No exceptions, no matter what you are told. That said, Voom is the...

After reading of some successes with additional reboots, I tried a soft reboot again late Sunday afternoon and had the pg return in about 1 1/2 hours. Glad to have this forum to learn, help and encourage. I wonder how many of the 1000's of Voom subscribers (that don't know about satguys)...

Well, I did a hard reboot (pull the plug) last night and still No Info in program guide this morning. What to do next? Shelly

I did a soft reboot at 4:30 and still no pg 4 hours later. I'll probably pull the plug for a hard reoot before going to bed and hope that the pg returns by tomorrow morning. BTW, I keep my stb on 24/7. Could this be responsible for the occasional lose of pg? Should I put it in standby by...

No Info in the program guide but all channels seemto be wprking. The tv was off all day and I just turned it on to watch Abbot & Costello. I checked to see if a reboot had taken place but the last one was 9/28 when I also lost PG information. Don't know whether rebooting will help get...

After 2 days with the Installation Wizzard set to 1080i and Native with the stb, I turned on my rptv and it could not get out of 480i to view hd. And my program guide was totally screwed up, and most stations just showed the same hd channel movie (can't remember which one right now). Even the...

Ok, I did the test and it did show the 720p, as you indicated. I pressed the red button on the remote, then the red button on the stb until all lights flashes, and then the ok button on the remote. So I am now locked into 1080i for hd, and 480i for sd. I changed hd channels and went...

I don't think so. The red button allows for 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i, or native (all lights blinking), depending on how many times it is pressed. I don't think that it switches back to 720p if it is set to 1080i or native. My Sony only displays 1080i unless it is receiving 720p and...

Ok, it's been asked several times in this thread without an answer. What is the difference between this procedure and just pressing the red button until all lights flash, thus putting the stb in native mode? I am using the red button only technique, because my Sony rptv does a much better...

Just for the record, I did a hard reboot (disconnect power cord) this morning and everything works as normal now. Shelly

Sean, I can scroll up the list but not from the first channel, only when I am anywhere down from the first channel listed.Once I get back tp the first channel and try to scroll up again, that screen appears and I am locked until I press the Back button. What do you suggest that I do about...

I used to be able to scroll up from the first of my Favorite channels, thus saving me time having to go down the list to get to the last couple of channels. Now, I can no longer do this. When I scroll up from my first Favorite channel in the Favorites list, I get the screen that says...

Would it be possible to use a 2 dish setup similar to Dish and BEV, with the two dishes linked with a SW21 switch or equivilant? A second smaller dish would have better WAF than the very large one. My wife was NOT very happy when I told her about this, and, yet, she does not mind me now...
