    Did anyone have problems with 6.10 download?

    I guess my upgrade occurred without any hiccups. I woke up this morning and it was upgraded. However, I had no program guide info. Waited almost 2 hours for it to populate. It never did. I did a reboot and the program guide came up within 10 minutes. I have had no other problems.

    <noflame>Tell me V00m doesn't suck.</noflame>

    if you are getting no locals through VOOM check all the connections. Did they use a diplexor? If so, there are some problems with bad diplexors, installers hooking them up wrong and so forth. If you are getting them through your TIVO box, you should get them through VOOM (unless they have the...

    From D* to V* a story in the making

    DRAKO, Congratulations on your install. I think you will like VOOM. I'm been Vooming for about a month now and I'm hooked. The sat signal is normal with the older firmware. Leave your box off tonight and hopefully you will get the new firmware update (5.68) and your signal will go into...

    Pixelation on TNT-HD????

    Thanks for replying Sean. I went back to TNT-HD and it is still there but doesn't seem as bad. I really don't know how to describe it except it is like the screen tears across the entire width. 1/4 to 1/2 inch high. picture is back to normal in about 1-2 seconds. It is watchable but...

    Signal Strength Question

    I have a question about the signal strength meter found in the system status screen. My satellite signal meter is anywhere from 92-94 consistently. My OTA signal is anywhere from 9-55. What does the signal power/SNR numbers mean? Is a low SNR or high SNR better? Can you check this...

    Let me tell you about my install!

    Let me start by saying my VOOM is now up and running and WOW am I impressed!!! My installer showed up on time, but other than that it was about the only thing that went well. I had already run two seperate rg-6 lines for sat and the ota. I showed him where I wanted the stuff mounted...

    Attention: (Unofficial) There might not be enough equipment for installation?

    It's true, my installer still hasn't received my kit. I called VOOM and was told by him that the warehouse has a shortage but might get some more this weekend.
