    OTA Question

    I am thoroughly confused. Please help me with this situation: I have the Wineguard Sensor II powered via the VOOM box, diplexer, etc. I want to use the OTA separate from the VOOM box and understand I need a 12 volt power supply? I want to be able to use the VOOM dish for something...

    Getting power to OTA antenna

    Could you elaborate for an electronics-illiterate? Why wouldn't I need a power supply? Is that assuming the VOOM box stays put and plugged in?

    Call from Installs, Inc Installer re: VOOM death--unexpected????

    The saga continues--for the 4TH DAY IN A ROW, Mr Harris, subcontracter from Installs, Inc has called my house. This is bordering on harassment. I had already called VOOM to tell them that he is NEVER to be involved in anything to do with our VOOM install or de-install. They had made a note...

    Call from Installs, Inc Installer re: VOOM death--unexpected????

    Thanks to caller ID--I will NEVER answer calls from this character. If I receive a call from VOOM, that's another story.

    My caller ID said that an Installs, Inc Installer in my area (Harris Sat--who thoroughly botched the intital VOOm install I had in February and libleled me and my family and we told him he could never come on our property again). Another installer, Clarity, Inc. finished the install and...

    Digital Optical Audio Output Problem

    I will check that aspect--it is the same as it ever was--but will definitely check that out. The weather has warmed up, but the area is cool and it is not near any other piece of electronics.

    List of TV Models with DVI Problems

    Still having DVI Conflict Error Messages with my SONY KDF-42WE655, LCD Projector--tried a DVI/HDMI Cable--worked for awhile, but yesterday, got the message again. Is it true what the CSR said--they may not fix this until the new DVR box comes out? What if we don't choose to upgrade to the...

    Digital Optical Audio Output Problem

    Aside from the ongoing DVI/HDMI Conflict Error message I keep getting, I am now having problems with the Digital Auido Output. SOmetimes it does not work at all--sometimes, when I turn my A/V receiver (Sony) off and on, it will kick back in--it's not even doing that anymore. I tried a hard...

    DVI Conflict Error After Software Update 7.26

    I, too have just had the DVI Conflict Error message again--yesterday, Apr 6, out of the blue. It had been ok for a couple of weeks, after I replaced the DVI/HDMI adapter with a DVI/HDMI cable. Now, again, having the same error message and nothing helps. Have a 42" Sony KDF-42WE655, LCD...

    Problems with Sound when using both DVI and Component

    I use DVI for my HD VOOM channels, but I get much better PQ for SD channels on the component input--as I can tweak my Sony LCD 42" Grand Wega to improve much beyond the DVI input. HOWEVER, there are not enough sound outputs from the VOOM box to allow another audio output to go to the...

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    Is calibration part of the warranty? How is that done--just by the controls available to the user or is there some hidden manufacturer's settings somewhere?

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    From the many posts under "Harmonic Encoders" and other PQ threads, it seems SD PQ is all over the place, so I am still trying to figure out the best tweaking for the signal (SD) put out by these new Harmonic Encoders? I have the SONY 42" WEGA 655 and still playing around with these variables...

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    I wish I had all those options on my SONY, but I can't find anything like that. I did change the VOOM resolution to 1080i and will see the difference in PQ--doesn't seem to have a "through" setting, but will keep looking.

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    What type of "pj" do you have--and what age and brand? My Sony LCD Projector does not have strict 1080i (as I originally thought when I bought it), but some odd resolution of ? X 786 or something like that. I am not very happy with the SD on the native setting, but if I changed the VOOm...

    DVI Conflict Error After Software Update 7.26

    I have a Sony 42" Grand Wega 42WE655 and had this problem as posted in this thread about 10 days after receiving VOOM. I had, intitially, a Monster HDMI/DVI adapter connected to the VOOM DVI cable. Sometimes the order or turning on helped, but then I ordered a regular DVI/HDMI cable (not...

    Native mode

    Can you not also change the mode via the Green System Settings button for VOOM--I have found a setting there that changes from native to the others individually (480i, 480p, etc), but don't see a button for Native (all 4)--only a button for 1080i.

    Tweaking SD Channels (both VOOM and TV) for best SD PQ

    With all the variables in the VOOM STB and my Sony LCD PRoj HDTV (42"), I am trying to figure out how to set things to get the best PQ on SD, as I realize that the HD settings may not optimize the SD PQ. So far I have found that, when I have the SD channel in a normal size box for 480i, it is...

    Newbie Question: Does STB need to be on to get updates?

    Does the VOOM STB need to be on (vs off or standby) to get the channel updates, etc? Is it better to leave the STB "off" at night or just leave it "on"? (We have it plugged into a UPS)

    Question about tree interference please

    We had this issue when our first installer (a bad experience, so had to have a second installer finish the job) ASSURED us that, once the leaves came out, the LOS would still be 5' above the tree line. We asked him this twice, mainly because he did not install the dish where he originally...

    DVI Conflict Error After Software Update 7.26

    I have seen this mentioned before and have tried this--which seems just the opposite of some posts--I turn the VOOM box on first, THEN the tv and sometimes I am able to get a DVI video output. I have tried this twice with success. But am wondering, would it also matter in which order I turn...

    DVI Conflict Error After Software Update 7.26

    What kind of DVI-HDMI cable are you using--or are you using a DVI cable + HDMI adapter? I do have the component installed also. I may just get the DVI-HDMI cable rather than the DVI cable/HDMI adapter set up I have now. But I have seen others who tried that and it did not work. I am told...
