    Washington D.C. Metro area Voomers

    Hoop, I DO get 321. This is the tricky part of this whole deal. Channel 4 doesn't multi cast (in DC). So, I get the HD feed on Voom, but I also get the same feed on Channel 4's digital OTA, which means I get 2 channels of the same thing, but I no longer recieve regular NBC programming. NBC...

    2 ?s for you guys Can you rotate the Winegard Senstar? I thought it was omni-directional? I'd actually like to rotate it towards Baltimore (if it will make a difference) in order to pick up those stations, hoping that because of the close proximity to DC, the signal strength from the DC...

    Washington D.C. Metro area Voomers

    sgtjim, thanks, that helps. you're way out, but you've got a good angle to work with down there. I live in upper PG, and i'm wondering if i'm close enough to DC that if I turn the antenna toward Baltimore, that the signal will still be strong enough to pick up the DC stations, even if my...

    Our Maryland Problem Is there anyone in PG or Mont. county with a directional antenna that can pick up both the DC stations as well as MD Public Television? The towers are in two different directions.

    They think were idiots

    stop the name calling! Stop calling people names! This guy paid for a service to be rendered. He has a right to be pissed. Do you guys work for Voom or something? Some of us haven't had the best experience with Voom either. I still don't have my channels mapped properly. Voom is lucky...

    Mapping the OTA - GET IT RIGHT, VOOM!

    I am mapped for a non digital PBS staion that is 90 miles away! I'm also mapped for another PBS station that is 75 miles away. This is wacky because there are 2 stations within 25 amd 35 miles from here, which I should be able to get OTA. VOOM told me that it is because of the FCC. I'm not...

    OTA Mapping - Front Royal? I'm in PG! Ok, I live in PG county. I get my DC stations fine. But, My box is mapped for 2 PBS stations. One is in Front Royal, VA The other is in Hagerstown/Frederick. Voom has said that they are no longer remapping STBs. Neither of those channels come in at all...

    My OTA Rights

    Well, UPN is a problem in DC I guess. I would have also like to get Maryland Public televisions feed because they mulicast 5 or six channels. I may want to gripe about it because my cable provider carried it. Also, I figure since I live in Maryland, I should be entitled to recieve this signal.

    My OTA Rights

    Should I get EVERY single OTA channel that is in my PG guide? I live outside of DC and have Baltimore stations in my PG as well, but they don't come in. Should I start griping yet? I got installed yesterday with Winegard antenna. Does anyone know if this antenna is amplified?

    Washington D.C. Metro area Voomers

    Well, I have Voom. The installer didn't show up until 3:30. Folks, if your getting Voom, take the whole day off. The installer said that what took him so long was he was having trouble getting through to voom for them to ping the stb's. They did install with a winegard antenna. Seems to...

    Well, I'm still waiting for the installer to show up. It's now almost 2pm and i was scheduled for 8-12. I callled at 12:30 and the installer who was supposed to do it told me that actually it's another guy who is supposed to do it, but that he's "having phone trouble" and that no one was able to...

Got in touch with him today and he said he didn't have me down for Monday. He said he'd call back in 5 minutes. He actually called me back in...

    Purchase 30" dish?

    Has anyone installed their own dish? There seems to be so much talk about having a larger dish (better signal strength, rain fade reduction). Will this be pointless if Voom is going to be upgrading the dishes in October? Will a 30" be compatible come October (when the switch is made to mpeg4)...
