No rain fade here in Huntington Beach and we had a lot of rain yesterday. Still would rather have VOOM's 20 movie channels in HD (Cinema10 + Premium HD's) than DirecTV's 3 HD movie channels. Saw "KILL BILL" & "AS GOOD AS IT GETS" . All during the rain.

Northern California guy, take a look the map. Northern California actually begins with Novato so "Hello fellow Southern Californians in San Francisco!"

I have relatives in Schaumberg and Crystal Lake in the Chicago Area. Anyone in those areas getting VOOM? Have told them about VOOM but would be nice to know if anyone in those areas is getting it.

Over the past few months I have shown off my VOOM to several friends who dropped by. A short time later I was surprised to discover that quite a few are now VOOM subscribers. One friend even subscribed with a 4:3 HDTV and has figured out how to eliminate the gray bars. The only one who hasn't...

How do you check signal strength for OTA?

How do you check signal strength for OTA?

I'd suggest that if OTA is really important to you I'd let VOOM install the antenna. They will insure you are receiving properly. Then if you think you can get the same thing via inside antenna you can try that but you have the outside antenna to back you up. Once VOOM has left they won't come...

Sounds like you got a real dud of a guy with an attitude. Call back and ask for another installer. I am 40.9 miles from the broadcast tower and my OTA comes in great. Sounds like he gets paid regardless and just doesn't want to go to the trouble. It's too bad that a few lazy installers are...

A booster is always a good idea for OTA reception. I have one even though I'm only 40 miles from the transmitter.

FASTHOW Sorry about your trees obstructing the Voom dish. Did they try the highest point on your house? Also consider a chain saw solution. If none of this works request the larger dish immediately. It's worth it!

October is the month mentioned for upgrades to the present dishes. Also I heard that at that time you'll be asked to make a time commitment to VOOM. (Part of Rainbow filing)

Good luck. check your field of view at 61.5 SE. If there are obstructions he may have to mount the dish higher up on the roof. I had my home theater pulled out from the wall so he could easily plug in the connections as well as a space on my stacking rack. You will also need access to a phone...

I sometimes find that VOOM tells me it is not receiving a signal from 13.1 so I try it repeatedly and it comes in on the 2nd or 3rd try. Don't know why this happens. Also, do you get pixilation when you change channels? I do very briefly as the new channel is displayed but it clears up immediately.

My OTA is a Radio Shack #15-2185. Mt. Wilson is 40.9 miles away and they come in exceptionally clear. (The Antenna is mounted in my attic, not on my house) Worked great with DTV and now with Voom.

SEAWAVES in Santa Monica How did your install go? Tvlman-Huntington Beach

My Voom was installed two weeks ago and all is working just fine. I am in Huntington Beach just South of LA (Los Angeles) and have a clear view of the SE horizon. No issues at this time.

Yes, I'm about a block away between Beach & Newland and have a good view of the coastline due to the wetlands in front of my house. My Voom Dish is pointed just above the SE horizon. If palm trees block, have installer use highest point of roof to get around that. Believe me , it's worth it...

Many thanks DarrellP and Texdude. I'll check it out. Darrellp, would like to know what brand HD projector you are using.

Nevermind.....I figured it out. What about VOOM broadcasts. Are they sending in 720 or 1080? I've heard that their movies are in 720. But what abut Bravo and Discovery?

Just got my Voom installed in Huntington Beach on a trial basis (still have Direct TV) and I was amazed at the low angle in the sky for the satellite. My dish is almost pointing at the horizon. If the palm tree by my house had been a few feet to the right I might have had a problem! But...
