    KXTV 10.1 in Sacramento, CA Area mapped wrong?

    This is why... I reported this in the thread set aside for super DMA errors. I see the same thing. The channel 10-1 we now have is an NBC station (which is why it looks the same as channel 3) out of Salinas and as soon as the Voom engineers wade though all the issues, hopefully they will get...

    Can I use 2 antennas?

    An AB switch would work just fine, and saves the complexity that arises when trying to combine. Doug

    A Couple Of Questions Regarding Voom

    Vegas - contemplate a rotator? Pretty easy to install. Channel Master 9521A (digital control unit with remote control) is going for about $70 street. Doug

    Anyone Notice RED LINES on some channels Now?

    What channels? Any in particular?

    need a switch box

    Audio Authority 1154 I'll second the 1154. It's a great unit, does auto switching on a priority based scheme, and transcodes optical and coax audio. Digital Connection has them for a decent price. See http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/video/1154a.asp for more info. Cheers, Doug

    OTA Problem

    Did you check to see if somehow those channels got hidden? I think the sequence is Voom -> Green -> Local channels. Good luck, Doug

    Lip-sync Problems on all VOOM Channels

    Also look at what processing is in the audio chain versus the video chain in your setup. Your surround sound processor can possibly induce some delay on the 5.1 stuff or if you are using some special DSP mode. Does it happen with both DD and non-DD programming? How have you got the Voom STB...

    New to Voom... need advice on what video cable to use

    The popular opinion still seems to be Avia, and personally, I concur. I believe the main reason is ease of navigation (Joe Kane's Digital Video Essentials [DVE] navigation scheme make my head hurt :no ), and the fact the audio calibration section is better (roaring debate over the subwoofer...

    New to Voom... need advice on what video cable to use

    Have you checked the settings on your DVI input? Assuming your TV has separate settings for each input, the difference in setting can make a huge difference. Many folks overlook this as they assume that the setting are global (apply to all inputs) when in reality, only some or none are. If...

    I want VOOM but I can't?

    Seems that way.

    VOOM OTA tuner vs. DISH 811 OTA tuner

    Have the Voom installer plug into your existing antenna and see what you get. Compare the list to what you get off of http://www.antennaweb.org so you'll know if you are getting most or all of the available stations. Don't let someone break something that works. I doubt if the stock Voom...

    Voom Channels Going Black

    If the problem persists after a reboot, you might want to try using the component connections as a test to eliminate the DVI interface on the Voom STBand/or your display as the problem. Good luck, Doug

    will changing the place of the antenna do any good

    You might want to check if you haven't already, what you should be getting based upon antenna size, and in what direction the station is. In general, you should get better reception with the antenna higher up, but check at http://www.antennaweb.org and see what it says. Pay close attention to...

    Video Problem

    Try component and see if you still have the problem. Some TVs have issues with DVI - called the DVI "shift" problem. Has something to do with the timing of the DVI signal coming into the TV as I recall. It usually can be fixed with a firmware update for the TV. Good luck, Doug

    OTA antenna upgrade advice

    Good source of info on OTA antenna issues is at the HomeTheaterSpot. They have a specific forum there to discuss OTA issues, and there are a couple of real antenna gurus that offer great advice. http://www.hometheaterspot.com/htsthreads/postlist.php/Cat/0/Board/UBB55 In general though...

    Is there any reason to get voom now?

    Hard to pass up for $1. If you are prepared for a six month commit on at least the basic package, why not? You'll get to to see how HD and carriage in general should work. Good luck, Doug

    Sound Problems

    Have you tried using the coaxial digitaloutput from the Voom STB just as a lark? That would eliminate the optical connection as a possible culprit. Although it doesn't happen very often, the optcal links are more sensitive than the coax and you never know until you try. Any halfway decent...

    OTA, receiver woes need some help.

    Doesn't the "Verify Voom" in the Installer menu force a download of the latest version? Also to be clear, the receiver must be turned off (standby, not unplugged) to be targeted for an update if I understand it correctly. Worked that way on mine anyway. Doug

    Lost OTA programing

    Bradley - thanks for the link and the great post. bobcat - I have not seen any issues from the Sacto or SF stations I get related to Bradley's post. This may be becasue the stations have not switched (or switched back) or the Voom box was able to understand the change based upon the way the...

    Lost OTA programing

    Hi bobcat - have you checked http://www.antennaweb.org to see what it says about what you can get and what type of antenna it would take? I believe I've read that unless you have some hills in the way toward Walnut Grove where the Sacto broadcast towers are, you should be good on getting the...

    Lost OTA programing

    bobcat - I'm speculating your "bunny ears" are picking up an analog signal and feeding it into an analog TV. The digital channels are separate from the analog channels so this is not an indicator you can rely on. When you say you did a local scan and you receive 6 stations, is that what you...

    Voom STB HDCP Behavior

    Has anyone successfully used the Voom STB via DVI to a non-HDCP compliant display? Not being an HDCP guru, it's not clear to me if HDCP is only enabled (may be application dependent, right?) if the "broadcast flag" is set, or if the source is 720p/1080i - meaning 480i/480p is always passed...

    Tutorial Please

    Thanks Ilya - now I understand it better. So there are two lines running from the LNB, one for each polarity and the MS determines which one is needed for the selected channel. Also sounds like the MS at the dish end also has a diplexer built in, right? I wasn't sure how that part worked...

    Tutorial Please

    Well - after just three days of having Voom, I've already had one of my HT buddies decide to sign up for a two room system. Hopefully if we can keep the subs growing our beloved Voom will continue to provide service into the distant future... Being an old C-Bander and Voom being my first...
