    Voom LNB different from others?

    Can I use D* or E* dish/LNB to receive VOOM? I am suspecting that my VOOM LNB has degraded and don't want to deal with another incompetent Install Inc tech. If Voom LNB is unique, can I buy one somewhere?

    OTA channel (5.11 UpdaTV) causes lock-up every time

    I am in Boston area and there is a non-working OTA channel which causes a lock-up every single time when I flip channels through it. It happens if I stay on this channel more than half second. An obvious work-around was to hide the channel but the problem is this channels re-appears and I...

    Boston suburb - Ch44 OTA reception

    According to antennaweb.org, channel 44 and channel 2 transmitters are located at 107 degrees. I get perfect ch2 reception all the time. So why do I have such erratic reception with Ch44? Since they are both PBS channels, aren't the transmitters located at the same place?

    Snow and Ice fading problem

    I live in MA and during last 2 snow storms, I lost satellite signal completely. A few weeks ago, the outage lasted almost 2 days and last night, I lost it for hours. The signal strength is still low, down from 96 to 86. I wonder if there is ice buildup on the antenna. Does this sound typical?

    stb reboots whenever I switch channel 5-1 to 7-1 or back!

    This same problem is discussed in another thread. It started to happen about 3 weeks ago whenever I go through ch 5.11 which is not a broadcasting channel. I thought my STB was defective so I had Install Inc replace it yesterday but it happens on the new STB too. I just hid 5.11 and no more...

    stb reboots whenever I switch channel 5-1 to 7-1 or back!

    I think it is another firmware bug. If I stay on Ch 5.11 for a few seconds and then move up or down, it resets every time. I had an Install Inc tech come out yesterday and he tried another STB with identical problem. I think it is a minor problem since hiding that bogus channel solves the...
