    new voom message on the screen now

    Um I have to tell you that dialing *67 isn't going to do you any good. Most major businesses have a phone feature which unblocks callerID no matter what you do. This is done so that if they start getting threatening calls or harassing calls they can Identify who you are. Police have it, call...

    VOOM Shutdown Update

    You know what as much as I loved Voom for it's offering of HD channels and the PQ, I have reached the end of my rope!!!! At this point F Voom, why couldn't they tell us 2 weeks ago that they would be giving channels to Dish and at the same time cut some sort of deal for us "loyal customers" to...

    Big News: New VOOM HD LL Web Site (They are back! or Are they?) YES!

    OK I don't claim to be a network expert but this is interesting to me.. If you open the command window and type "tracert www.voomllc.com" and tracert "www.newvoom.com" you will get a list of all the servers your IP traffic goes through before it actually hits the websites. I noticed that BOTH...

    New Dell 42" HD plasma tested with VOOM

    Once again we see the effects of using upscaling DVD players to setup a display. The problem is described here: http://www.sigmadesigns.com/support/chromaticity_correction.htm See the DVE disk was made for NTSC and the upscaling output of the DVD player throws that out of whack.. so you end up...

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    To: Mr. Charles Dolan VOOM/Cablevision 01/24/2005 Dear Mr. Dolan, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the HD programming that Voom offers, and how much it makes my purchase of a beautiful 65" HDTV well worth it. I can't believe the dedication Voom has to HD and it's...

    CES-2005: Upcoming (smaller) STBs

    Why would Voom need to produce SD only boxes since the current box works fine with SD sets as all the outputs are active at once. This is something I poseted about before that Voom should be pushing this right now, not wait. The only reason I could see to make SD only is if it had enhanced...

    New Download 2.11 software tonite (back to 6.20)

    UM I never even got the "upgrade" to the 7.0 software. Are those of you getting the upgrade leaving your phone lines plugged in? I had an issue a month ago where my phone never rang! Not necessarily a bad thing right, less telemarketing calls, well come to find out the Voom box somehow had the...

    MVDDS: VOOM and Echostar going to France to see the model

    Getting space on cellular towers is not as simple as it may seem. The vast majority on towers out there are owned by a tower company who then leases the space to each carrier. Also the vast majority of them are loaded to near maximum capacity with antennas and coax as it stands now, this would...

    I have VOOM!!! (HDTV is cool)

    it's nice to see someone actually being HAPPY to have Voom. Personally I would not change to anything else at this time. I love the HD picture and it should only get better from here. DVR would be nice, so would better SD picture but I can live with it for now. No where else will you get the HD...

    Aspect Ratios On Voom STB

    Try setting the box to native output, this can not be done in installer menu. I think that's when all the red lights on the front light up after you push the red button... It' in the lower right hand corner behing a flip door. I have a Hitachi and I can honestly say that the voom stretch is...

    Gray bars gone?

    Perhaps you had your STB set to native resolution?? I know that is the only way I can see gray bars on my RPTV. The only modes that pass them for OTA are 480 i/p I believe. I know for a fact I have never seen gray bars on OTA channels before.

    has anyone ever considered....

    this is probably why Voom is adding 2 additional satellites. I'm sure it's mostly for west coast coverage but the one in the middle would be extra bandwidth just waiting to be used.. At least that is my opinion and observations. Also the development of better compression scheems would help this.

    CONFIRMED: New version 6.10 has arrived! (Please post your observations here)

    The horizontal position works...... sorta OK got up this morning and the Voom box was on. I turned on the TV and there was no guide information. I rebooted the box and let it sit while I took a shower. After that I tried the guide again with no information still, maybe that will update before...

    Possible to get locals without box?

    something like this should work. If it's rated for satellite useage it SHOULD pass the DC voltage that is caried to power the amp and the LNB. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F008%5F003%5F000&product%5Fid=16%2D2579

    Possible to get locals without box?

    I think what dailo is looking for is a splitter on the off air antenna. If he hooks the RF output to the cable in his house then ALL of the TV's will be stuck watching the same channel. What you need to do is get a satelliet grade spliter and split the coax before it reaches the voom box...

    Expert Advice please! HDTV Incompatable?

    I will send you a private message with some service menu items to look at. I hope it's listed the same on your set. Is it possible for you to post a picture of what your screen looks like when you try inputing 1080i?

    Comcast locking me out?

    Shouldn't the installers be running all NEW coax for the satellite anyway? When I got mine installed the paperwork called for NEW RG-6 coax up to 400 feet in length to be installed. Looks like Comcast is getting very posessive of "their" cable. I had an old unused Comcast line running from my...

    Expert Advice please! HDTV Incompatable?

    they will probably not tell you how to get into the service menu but it's worth a try. I would still suggest connecting the off air antenna to the ANT C jack just to see if any HD works with the tv.
