    Boston area Voomers experiences going to another provider

    Well it's April 13th and looks like the curtains down in a couple of weeks for us and wonder what others will do. D*, E* or Comcast or just ride it out with locals if we can still get them with our boxes if not collected. As a previous D* subscriber I have a bad taste in my mouth due to previous...

    VOOM & calls VOOM insisted on a installer coming out to check - They did this even being told that Channel 7 said it was at their end. Could not convince them otherwise. They wanted to send a installer also around 3 months ago when I complained about 5.11 causing box freeze. A appointment was...

    Mitch All I know is the head engineer stated they have a problem at their end when they did their new encode but if I could receive 42-1 channel I would get the programming until they found the way to correct the situation. I do get a 96 signal from 7-1 but get no pic or sound.

    Installer due shortly Voom insisted on installer coming to house (scheduled this AM) to check antenna and could not convince them it wasn't needed. Screws up my day and installer will be in and out unless he has some way to map 42-1 channel into my box. Hope someone from Voom got in touch with...

    Call from channel 7 I just received a call from Arthur Murphy engineer from Channel 7 and he stated it is not Vooms problem but theirs. They will try and correct this but wanted me to try and pull in Ch 42 and I would get the programming until they correct the problem. I got no idea of how to...

    Channel 7 problem Called WHDH-TV (617-725-0826) and was directed to a gentleman in the transmitter dept that said their encoding was changed a week ago but should have not interfered with any broadcast difference.

    Now I am a dummy! Contacted Voom and they ran me through the local setup again and no luck. Told them the problem and it happened since the update but they insist on sending a tech out Thursday AM. He'll have to shovel the roof off to do anything up there. A waste of Voom $$$$.

    smodak Over my head on finding signal strength for locals on our voom box. I have noticed at times I will get the thing stating "No signal" but when I go up 1 channel or down 1 and then go back it comes in. Very frustrating when have had another service with very little trouble to have this...

    subdude212 I like you do not like the location or how they set it up. I am going to move the antenna away from where it's at to a location I know can pick up a better signal. They did not mount the antenna on top of dish but beside it screwed to the roof & I'm going to get a chimney mount and...

    subdude212 When you say "your locals" - the unmapped ones do not show up on your TV screen - right? You have WBZ 4.1 & WSBK 38.1 and these do not show up on my screen. I guess what I'm implying is that I wonder if under my zip they have improper maping of locals I might be able to get. I don't...

    Locals question I'm a new Voomer and am dissapointed in locals. I realize that no guarantee on how many locals you get but can't get a straight answer from Zoom central on the phone but haven't got a answer back from a e/mail sent today either. Woman at Voom says to go online and see programing...
