    St. Louis VOOM thread.

    Crud! That is terrible. Yes, I work in Creve Couer. We were ground-zero for the biblical hailstorm yesterday. I live about three miles from where I work, so I fully expected to come home to find my OTA and Voom dish in pieces (or at least dented like my car is!). Oddly enough, I...

    The Ugly Truth You are a long way from those towers, Brother. You'll need a good antenna and some helpful geography to score those locals. I know this sounds like a cheesy cop-out, but have you called your local cable provider and ASKED for any unadvertised specials on local channels...

    Dude! Hey there! Welcome! I'd given up on finding another STL Voomer. Regarding my install, Chris Fears of C.F. Communications did a great job. He went out of his way to hide the coax. It was as cosmetically perfect a job as I could have asked for. My wife was impressed. He DID balk...

    Any Voomers in Springfield, MO?

    Close, but no cigar Sorry. I'm in St. Louis, and (as near as I can tell) we are the only two posters in Missouri. I have my own OTA questions, but... alas it is my fate to be the pioneer who makes the mistakes for all the St. Louis VOOMers that will follow.
