    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    yea, I tried re-booting. I was still out when I went to bed at about 2AM last night. When I turned it on this morning at about 9AM, it was working again. The temperature was about 35F so I think whatever was on the dish/LNB, it melted away. It could also be water expanding as it freezes and...

    Did you Lose signal in snow storm? I have lost signal since about 5PM today in heavy snow and it is still out at 8:30PM with signal strength at zero. It happens almost every time in heavy snow with outage lasting all night. I always suspected that the dish/LNA gets covered with snow and ice...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    yea, that's what I think too. If you are close to the towers, then you can pull out the OTA coax in the back of the box and connect any small indoor UHF antenna, even a bow-tie antenna, and see if you can receive any more stations. You can also check to see if the DC power supply that powers...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Subdude You must have a problem on your side since all local channels are working fine here. If you are close to transmitter towers, then you might want to try a small UHF antenna that sits on top of the TV in case there is a problem in your antenna/amplifier/coax. I can get all Boston...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Needham towers up and running again All local stations are ok again. My guess is most of local stations (CH2,4,5,7,44) share the facility and towers in Needham. Does anyone know for sure?

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I also lost most of Boston channels at about 1:40AM Saturday. I do get CH7 and CH25. I also get all providence channels but lost CH2, 4, 5, 44, 38. I don't think it is a Voom problem as I do not get these channels on my TV's HD tuner either. It may be a problem of the transmitters in...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I really hope people don't keep requesting service calls for problems that are not caused by Voom. Even if Voom is at fault like the CH 5.11 problem, getting a tech from Install Inc or others is totally useless. We are just wasting Voom's money. I want to see Voom getting close to...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Thank you 731. That confirms that it is not Voom's problem as I have been saying. A real problem that Voom has to address is CH 5.11 (UpdatTV) which keeps un-hiding itself and freezing the STB every single time the box is tuned to that channel. My TV's HD tuner receives this deadly channel...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    I still think Voom has nothing to do with the CH7 problem since I am seeing the same problem on my TV's HD tuner. I wasn't getting CH44's for a few weeks but since Saturday, they are coming in perfectly and CH2 is not coming in now, both on VOOM and my TV's HD tuner. I think the stations are...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Hmmmm, so Mitch, can you get CH7 right now on other STB? I have watched CH7 for a year on my Mitsubishi WS65711 HDTV with built-in HD tuner and even that tuner stopped receiving CH7 for several days now. All other Boston stations come in perfectly. That's why I think the problem has nothing...

    Any BOSTON metro VOOMers?

    Channel 7 (WHDHD1) seems to off the air. I can get all Boston stations directly through my HD tuner that's built-in my TV with a small indoor antenna and Ch7 has been absent for a week or so. So it appears that this problem has nothing to do with Voom. I guess I am not the only one with...
