    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    Interesting! It will soon be a year since VOOM as a DBS provider ceased its existence. However, we still have 40 to 60 people browsing these VOOM DBS forums on any given hour on any given day. (More than in our HDTV Programming area!) Right now there are more than 20 people staring at the VOOM...

    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    If you haven't experienced VOOM (in its previous incarnation), then you can't truly appreciate what we miss so much... What Dish currently has doesn't even come close. And it's not just 21 VOOM channels vs. 10, and not just the fact that these channels had a much greater variety in the past...

    We Really Had It Great With Voom!!

    Welcome back Vicki! Happy Holidays to all fellow VOOMers! Well, I am glad that some of the VOOM channels are available on E* and I am excited that more VOOM channels are coming soon. Still, I miss the old VOOM! What I miss the most is the 40+ (VOOM and non-VOOM) HD channels and being able to...

    OTA Signals Abruptly Gone

    Welcome to the forum, dealco! There might be several possible reasons: 1. The weather conditions have changed and the signal went down (unlikely, if you lost more than one channel). 2. Antenna has moved (e.g. due to wind) 3. One of the connections got loose. 4. Power supply (if you have...

    Help!!!

    Is this on all OTA channels? Try switching the resolution mode either in the Installation Wizard or by pressing the red button (behind a small door on the right side of the front panel).

    Help with locals scan

    Welcome to the forum. If it has never been activated, it most likely won't work at all. I wouldn't waste time and money on the remote. Sorry...

    Becoming Jaded With Half/voom

    Here is my theory on what's going on with VOOM: 1. It may seem like eternity to us, but it has been just over two months since the VOOM future has been decided. Until then VOOM was in shut-down mode for several months, as you remember, burning whatever they have prepared in the prior months...

    Last VOOM Statement

    First of all, if you are sure this is a mistake, inform your bank that the charges are not authorized and request your account be credited back. Do it without delay. Second, call Cablevision corporate office. Phone numbers should be on their website.

    Welcome to the forum, stevewilson6980! Thanks for posting the good news! Looks like you are the first one to report an actual refund check!

    Still have OTA's

    I posted this many times before: There is no timebomb in the STB! (For OTA, anyway). This is coming from VOOM engineers who are supposed to know this stuff. The rumor about STBs going dark in June comes from CSRs who are told that all accounts are in the process of deactivation. Yes, in the...

    Last VOOM Statement

    You can call VOOM customer service today and check your final balance. Looks like most (if not all) of the accounts have been already finalized. If you purchased the equipment, you can expect a refund! The statements should be coming within a few days from what I was told by a CSR.

    traffic on this forum beginning to dwindle??

    Actually, we have already implemented mosted of the changes: 1. What used to be our VOOM Forum Home Page is now HDTV Home Page! 2. We have changed the the layout and revised the list of links on the home page to reflect the new expanded scope. 3. Programming news and alerts posted by...

    It's yours

    The OTA module is covered by that plastic diplexer. Once you remove the diplexer you will see the OTA module. By the way, make sure to unlock the diplexer before pulling it off. It has a small lock which can break if you pull the diplexer without unlocking it. Good luck! (For pictures...

    How to avoid the $100 61.5 Dish fee

    Welcome to the forum, cooldog! I don't know about that. If you go to their Order Online procedure on the web site and follow the prompts, at Step 3 it will tell you if you qualify for a free second dish based on your locals. Make sure to select this option if you qualify. Then select your...

    So, we own it now -- A couple of questions about OTA

    Yes, that's correct. You will have your local stations even after a reboot. And you should be able to scan in any new stations. If you move to another DMA, you should still be able to scan, with the exception of those stations that do not transmit PSIP data. In any case, there will be no...

    It's yours

    spahoose, thanks for bringing the news about the boxes, but I have a question about the statement quoted above. Was this also written in the memo? Or have you heard any talks about this after the shut down? The reason I am asking this, is because it doesn't make any sense to me. To send a kill...

    What about us Charter Members!

    I am not shocked. 1. We were given four-five months of free programming initially. 2. We were then given another few months of free programming as a partial credit for the initial equipment purchase. 3. We didn't have to pay rental costs. 4. At least some of us kept the low charter-member...

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    I did the power-button reboot. I haven't tried rescanning yet, but that should work too.

    WorldSport HD/ Rush HD ??? for Current Dish Customers

    From what I was told, you may expect to see some WorldSport programming on RushHD in a month or so. Of course soccer season will be over by then, so La Liga games won't be live.

    Can the OTA be opened up for all channels?

    By "reset" you mean "reboot", I assume. Yes, I have rebooted a couple of times. Others have done it too. Everything seems to be fine so far. Factory Reset (via hidden menu) is a different story - Do NOT DO THAT! Or you will lose the OTA capability!
