Hmm... I've been able to pick up WLIW (not HD of course). The whole PBS situation in this area is just so confusing. Thanks. The Rickster

Hmm... I know it comes from NJ, I was wondering if they'd added it to the combiner since I can (all of a sudden) receive it...well sort of. Hmm... What PBS channels are going to be added to the combiner (if any)? I don't care about NJN specifically, I'd like to get PBS to watch Nova and...

Hope they get it working soon The other night I noticed I was receiving NJN. So last night I decided to watch Nature. It was the one about the surfers riding the largest waves recorded in Hawaii. I'd seen it before and there are some spectacular shots of surfers riding 50' (and larger) waves...

In Passaic County I'm in Passaic County (Clifton) and have been Vooming for almost a year. I like what Voom offers. You'll see the complaints about what they aren't offering yet (dvr, ppv, etc.) and my complaints are no different in this regard. The local channel situation is getting...

Looking better... Well, last night I was able to receive NJN. First time I've seen this. However, I was unable to receive NBC (again). Anyone know if they're doing anything strange with NBC? Also, what's up with ABC showing the game last night in SD!!?? Heck, it was the ESPN feed anyway and...

What's happening? Any news on the combiner? Last night I was unable to watch ABC (again). The Rickster

Any word? Any word on how the testing on the combiner is going? I've been receiving ABC for a while now but last night it was in and out. Just wondering if they stopped testing for a while or something last night. The Rickster

Well... Last night I was able to receive ABC--something I haven't been able to do in over a month since the last time they, "fixed," my OTA--it's a good sign. However, still no PBS. :( The Rickster

Combiner=Voom DVR Is this combiner EVER going to be completed? I mean, it reminds me of the Voom DVR. We all know it's coming. We keep hearing things which tell us it's coming. But it just never does. Frustrating... The Rickster

Well... Not even Discovery HD Theater could have made the Yankees look better! They played as pathetically as Fox's pq was for the series. Oh well... Now, what the hell is going on with Fox!!?? Not only is the pq horrible and the announcers (other than Leiter) horrible, they can't even keep...

Horrible It sure looks as though they're compressing the hell out of the pic. When are they going to learn you just can't do this!!?? They announce Fox is providing the best HD out there. I want to know who they're comparing themselves to... The Rickster

Anyone else notice just how bad the Fox HD broadcasts have been from NYC? I had a party the other night when the Yankees were playing the Twins in the elimination game. Some of my friends hadn't seen HD yet and thought it looked great. Sure, it looked better than SD but it was horrible compared...

Plot thickens... I've checked back occasionally over the weekend and, at times, ABC is dropping out horribly, while, at other times, it's rock solid. Not sure I understand this one. I get everything else in just fine. The SNR is what fluctuates wildly. Goes from 2x.xx to 00.00 (of course...

ABC lowering output power late at night? Well, I played around a bit yesterday during the storm. I can receive ABC during the day but, late at night, I have problems. Does anyone know if ABC (for some reason) lowers their output power at night or something? The Rickster

Well... Maybe I spoke too soon. I was flipping through channels last night and found I could no get ABC (channel 7). I thought this strange as I've never had a problem with them before (except once when the weather was really bad). I'll check it out again today and see if it might be the...

Doing better in Clifton When I had Voom installed I had complained about not getting NBC, WPIX and PBS. I understood the low broadcast powers, etc. Anyway, I was trying to watch my Eagles the other day on Fox--a channel I hadn't had any problems with--and it was horrible. Kept cutting out and...

Alright, I'm ready to bite the bullet and pay someone to come in and evaluate my situation for OTA reception. Like many people in North Jersey, I do not receive WPIX or any PBS stations. I can, occasionally, receive NBC as well. I want to talk to someone who knows their stuff as far as OTA...

This happened for Game 4 as well but I was wondering if anyone in Northern NJ has been experiencing problems with ABC. During the second half last night and the other night the picture kept breaking up, and I'd get the, "There is no signal on channel 7.1..." message. I checked my signals and the...

Yuppers... This is EXACTLY what I was told after my installation. I wasn't able to receive the program guide info or channel info so I called. They gave me the same bs about the FCC not allowing them to map channels because I wasn't in a certain area. I thought it was strange since I'm 10 miles...

Wasn't watching I wasn't watching Voom at the time so I can't say. I was upstairs cooking some dinner. My DTV feed was fine (I don't have Voom on the set upstairs). The Rickster

Pbs Yeah, sometimes I can receive PBS from the City or NJ. The problem is it doesn't seem to make sense. I can't figure out why I get them and sometimes I don't. It's a bit frustrating but I've not had the time to give Voom a call and really work on the problem. I'll keep you posted if/when...

Pbs Vinny, Are you in North Jersey, too? I'm still trying to figure out why I have PBS sometimes and not others. I know they (in NYC anyway) turn off the HD progams but, lately, all I've been getting is the, "No signal on that channel," message. It's killing me since I'm a Nova fan and...

Sorry... Wasn't quite sure where to post the message. Thanks. Anyway, I can receive PBS out of NY sometimes but not others. I'm only about 10 miles away from NYC and I've got a decent line of sight, too. I just don't get it. As far as NBC goes, not sure why they're not broadcasting at a...

OK just verified it... I don't get NBC or WPIX. I'm not getting either PBS (NYC or NJ). I know I've gotten PBS before so I seem to get it sometimes and not others. Think I may have an OTA antenna problem? Thanks. The Rickster

Locals in NYC Area Alright, I don't watch the locals all that much but I was poking around the other night and noticed I can't tune in many of the locals. For anyone in the North Jersey/NYC area, what locals are you getting? I know, I've checked the websites to see what channels I should be...
