    Well This morning I rescanned for the first time in about 6 months and was surprised to find I was finally able to pick up the local PBS from New Haven then I was dismayed when my Voom Box started to reboot. Then I remembered Sat Guys and wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. Sure...

    Maybe the original owner hid the other channels. I know that on my box I hide all the channels that I didn't get from the NYC area. Give that a try.

    Voom Receivers used for OTA: WIll Program Guide Work?

    Voom Box Is A Gift To Those That Can Use It! I wasn't really expecting to get someone knocking on my door for the STB and even the cost of shipping boxes to subscribers seemed cost prohibitive. Cablevision wanted to stop the bleeding permanently, not cauterize the wound. Jimmy Dolan doesn't...

    Will the Voom Forum Be Taken Off?

Be thankfull you have power, there were over 300,000 without according to last nights news. Receiving a great signal here in the northeast with another 2" of fresh snow sitting on the...

    VOOM and Pickup after Cancellation My friend at work had a VOOM installation from Hell. The installer came 3 hours late, pulled the phone line off his house, didn't install the ota antenna, left before the unit downloaded and left him the number and paperwork to call to authorize the boxes. Not...

    Remote control IR and UHF?

    Is the VOOM box UHF remote capable? There is a plug on the back of the receiver that says UHF. I was thinking that it might be like some of the old C Band receivers. That would be nice I could put the box out of the way and free up space for some of my other toys.
