    Will the Voom Forum Be Taken Off?

    We'd need three threads for exVoomer's who go to Cable, Satellite, or nothing...I'm going to cable, so will that make me one of those dreaded trolls now if I still come to this web site??? Maybe Satelliteguys.us can change their name to HiDefTVguys.us - then we won't be trolling...

    New Install + Pin Problems

    You need to call 1-800-getvoom and have them reset it. I believe its the only way.

    Voom and Standard Definition TV?

    Get another installer, your guy is on drugs! I bet most of us with multiple recievers have one or more SDTV's. Coming from the cable world my SD picture quality never looked so good! On the HD channels it's even better. You will get the "letterbox" effect on those movies shown in that format...

    Looking to switch to Voom

    I had cable (w/ 4-6 HD stations) until a year ago and for me it was a no brainer. Once you go HD it's hard to watch any other TV source. One thing that is very little talked about is the East Coast/West Coast feeds for the premium channels on VOOM. I don't know if other satellite services...

    Occasional Black Screen

    I still don't have 7.26 but I've been getting the blackouts as well. I got it for sure watching Master & Commander (2-3 times) on HBOHD, Monday night Football ( a couple of times) and last night on TNTHD (2x). I am using the DVI connection and hesitate to change as it's a bear moving my 250...

    My So Cal VOOM is STILL Out!

    Don't let him leave until he replaces the diplexor. That's what did it for me. It doesn't cost him anything sa VOOM is paying him anyway. Good luck..

    My So Cal VOOM is STILL Out!

    Boondockbill, I understand your frustration as I was out for 6 days, where I read some good books and contemplated the need for TV...Are you in the San Diego region. If so, I will provide you with my good Installs guy (he ownes his own company). You can request the installer from Installs...

    Antenna dilemma

    Welcome, I am having a similar problem with my "upgrade" of the stealth to a Wineguard. I wouldn't be surprised if its your antenna "upgrade" I went from 8 stations down to 3. I have Installs Inc. coming out for a third time this Friday and will let you know if I learn anything. MJB

    HELP!!! Installs Inc finally struck...(trolls not welcome)

    O.k. Thisis just strange... Both of my boxes just started working again. I'm not going to cancel my Installs inc. second call today because of my OTA issues but does anyone have any advice on what could have caused a 6 day failure of my boxes and then have them miraculously repaired? I know...

    HELP!!! Installs Inc finally struck...(trolls not welcome)

    Thanks, I will check the diplexer. To run a straight line I have three lines running into the diplexer, with the middle line (I think) being the OTA and two lines running out from it. Would I just connect the left side (in) to the left side (out) abnd would that give me a direct line to one of...

    HELP!!! Installs Inc finally struck...(trolls not welcome)

    Any advice/help on this situation would be much appreciated: Well I guess the Gods have declared it was my time and have cursed me with Installs inc. As of last Saturday, my two boxes both stopped receiving Satellite signals, however, I am still receiving my OTA stations. I did all the...

    Pic Goes Black for a Second Every 10-minutes

    Does this happen when you change channels or just when you're watching? I've been having a similar problem as of late (this last week) where when I change a channel, I get sound but a blacked out picture. To correct, I have to channel up/down and return to get the picture to come up. Not the...
