    Voom Mot. DSR-550 scans OTA, looks but I can not view them??

    I have a Voom receiver and from what I gather it has to have been authorized at some point before the OTA feature becomes available. Can you get to where you can do a channel scan?

    I've been getting a weird result...

    yeah, me too. Wasn't having this problem prior to the software update.

    Anyone else get green shift with SciFi channel??

    I'm wondering if there may be something wrong with my Voom receiver. When switching from USA to SciFi, the volume levels are way different. When receiving SciFi, particularly SG1, it looks like everything shifts a shade to the green. I'm familiar with grayscale and color decoders, that's...

    Getting OTA if/when Voom goes dark.

    Considering the potential liability from people like me who bought their receiver, I'd think they would at least leave these boxes in a condition whereby they would be capable of receiving OTA. That being said, I think the fat lady hasn't sung yet as to what will be offered to us. I...

    New Software Version 7.33 downloading now...

    Initially, I had to do a hard reboot to get the box working after the software update. Since then, everythings been fine.

    Problems with DVI output

    Eric Here's a couple of things to try. Unplug the power from the receiver, wait 30 seconds and reconnect. Leave it alone for about 20 minutes. Not just to repopulate the program guide, but changing channels too soon seems to corrupt the reload of other software.

    Recievers

    Component output from the Voom receiver can be set for 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and native passthrough. The receiver also has svideo output which I believe would also have to be 480i. This output might be the safer bet as you would probably want to leave the receiver in native pass through...

    Lost video on my SD channels, OTA & HD work

    tangential I may be having a similar problem with my new Panasonic AE700 front projector. Over DVI/HDMI cable, its not recognizing a 480i signal. I prefer to leave the Voom receiver on native pass through, but with the projector, I have to set it to one of the fixed resolutions such as...

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

    I highly recommend that you notify Voom so that they don't pay the idiot that came out there. Either A)he's incompetent or B)makes more money installing new units.

    Blackouts and Quietscreens are Back?

    Same here. Thought it had something to do with reaiming my dish after hurricane Ivan. Anyone notice any changes in software versions?

    Rain fade short tem solution vs. Long term

    I'm no expert, but I think a 75 foot cable run may require some kind of amplifier.

    Do light bars illuminate each time you turn you STB on?

    DarrellP I've tried it both ways thinking the same thing. Having the TV on before turning on the Voom receiver doesn't help. I'm wondering if the light bars lighting up on turnon indicates the Voom receiver is initiating a handshake and the lack of the light bars lighting up is a sign...

    Do light bars illuminate each time you turn you STB on?

    I'm having problems getting my Voom receiver to synch over DVI with my TV. It didn't use to do this. Now, more times than not, I have to reboot the Voom receiver for it to synch with the TV. What I'd like to know is does the light bars light up each time you turn the Voom receiver on...

    DVI or Component?

    Mark Welcome to the community. Experiences between DVI and Component connections will vary depending on the TV and how the TV is setup in both the user and service menus. I own the non XBR version of the Sony GWIII (rear projection LCD) and use a Accupel HD signal generator that has...

    Over The Air Scanning Questions (PSIP data missing post here)

    It's still a little early and I'm having a little problem understanding. If your channel scanning picks up a station but its not transmitting the PSIP, does this mean that you can't tune to it?

    Questions about dish pointing and OTA antenna.

    lostcause (interesting name) You are aware that 61.5 is the satellite location and you have to use a lookup index for your location to know where to point the dish. For instance, if you're in California, you wouldn't point it in the same direction as if you were in Florida.
