    Strong Possibility that Update SW GE 6.0 will be released this Week!

    Target software version means what you'll be upgraded to. And yes, that is the number for the new software; they've changed the version numbering, to judge by the info posted by those who have the new software from new installs or box swaps.

    Possible to get locals without box?

    If you run a splitter from the OTA to your other TVs you will be able to receive analog channels on them. However, it is possible that the splitter may interfere with the OTA reception because the antenna requires power passed from the receiver to the antenna to power the amplifier.

    Which Sat Signal level do I trust?

    From what I understand, the quality can be seen to some degree as the accuracy and clarity of your line of sight, and the power can be seen as the power remaining in the signal after it shoots through miles of atmosphere, hits your dish, reflects into the LNB, and travels down your wires to the stb

    Voom satellite down?

    That would suck because it would mean that our current theory of gravity was severely broken.

    Voom's PQ vs. HDNet Movies

    The images are also compressed in JPEG format which can add artifacts and noise as it is, after all, a lossy compression format just like MPEG is.

    Can't The Morons at Voom do Anything right?

    Yeah that makes sense, the first bill date is on the day of install -- I assume that activating the receivers activates billing too.

    Can't The Morons at Voom do Anything right?

    Is it possible that people are being switched from billing behind to billing ahead? This has happened to me more times than I can count with ISPs, cable cos, etc. No problems on my end but I'm nervous.

    OTA INSTALLATION POLL: How many attempts did it take your installer(s)?

    When voom schedules a service call it seems to go to any random installer the system comes up with. Installs Inc can assign it to specific installers or even specific techs so try calling them when service calls are needed.

    OTA INSTALLATION POLL: How many attempts did it take your installer(s)?

    A diplexer combines two signals into a single coax wire. It can be satellite and cable, satellite and OTA, satellite and cable internet, or whatever. But it can't be more than two signals. The Winegard diplexer used by voom installers is a 3 in 2 out diplexer, it combines the antenna signal with...

    Voom picture off to the left some

    Perhaps this is correct to the extent that *at the moment* the software is only shipping on new STBs rather than being pushed to older ones, and that part of the reason it's not out yet is that it has bugs that cause incompatibility with older receivers. Just a speculation.

    Oh Yeah that’s Why I Canceled Voom...

    so has the $0/0 commit install deadline been extended? Yes, till 7/31/04

    I assume you mean this is something that your own company is doing for voom installs? Are you an independent retailer or a contractor with Installers inc?

    Why am I getting HDNet mapped to a local channel on VOOM?

    It depends if you're mapped for SF of course. Once the new software is available that won't matter. You can check by going to system status and going to the 4th screen where off-air map # is listed. SF should be 0005 because the DMA numbers on...

    Its July 1, 2004 and no software.

    Release dates make for shoddy software. Release it when it's ready and not a day before.

    VOOM to open its first retail store in Twin Cities
