Yeah Spring is kinda far from the antenna farm. Amp your antenna. If that doesn't work, amp your antenna, wear a tinfoil hat, and touch the TV. See what happens. :D Good luck!

I don't know why you aren't getting 51, but I can hopefully point out some things. 1. KNWS has no HDTV programming. They broadcast a digital signal. It's 2 different things. All HDTV is digital, but not all digital is HDTV. Case in point, the local news on KPRC @ 10PM is a digital broadcast...

Well if that's the case just listen to a radio station that isn't owned by Clear Channel. Oh wait, nevermind.

Edited for content: My point exactly. We're not talking about the man giving someone money for food or hospital visits. We're talking about a TV converter box. And by the way, if you are that bad off, WHY HAVEN'T YOU SOLD YOUR TV YET?? If $10 means a week's worth of meals, I'm pretty sure...

If you have to have the government GIVE you a $10 box, you need to get off the couch, pawn your TV, and go get a job.

A couple quick definitions: Manual scanning: the ability of the voom box to scan for local channels that your antenna can receive. Currently Voom does not have this feature. OTA: stands for Over The Air programming, also known as local digital/HD channels that you get with an antenna...

Sentences like this crack me up. Just because you can get all your locals on another receiver doesn't mean you will get them. Voom is not very good about mapping locals. there will most likely be one or two missing until voom releases the next STB software update which will allow you to manually...

I would've been a long throw from where I was sitting. Out-of-towners don't get very choice seats. Next stop: St. Louis. I also wanted to post here in the Htown thread that I am leaving Voom and switching to D* when I get home. Voom just doesn't have the content I am looking for, namely my...

Yes, they DO need to be educated: :D :dev

PBS is a VHF digital station. If you have a UHF-only antenna, this could be your problem. I'm in Chicago but my wife called and mentioned the channels were all messed up. I know that this usually means new channels so I'm all over the forum today. Too bad there's no news yet. I want manual...

13-2 was added today to our local OTA mapping. It has different programming than 13-1, but I don't know what it is. And you read that right. They added another -2 channel, BUT NO KNWS YET! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Cebridge is out. Voom stays. I called Cebridge for info on pricing, HD offerings, etc. The CSR said they have ESPN-HD, Disc-HD, and showtime-HD for those with that package. Then she said she couldn't sell them to me though. When I asked why, she had no idea but they were not offering them...

I noticed, but I didn't want to face it. :river

It's a toss up between Voom and a company called Cebridge cable. They don't require a phone line and I could get internet through them. Voom will move me for free and has lots more HD though, which is nice. Anyone know anything about this Cebridge company? I'll probably stick with Voom in the end.

NOTHING. I would love to have TWC, but I'm in an apartment that has TVMAX :mad: , which is Houston cable's red-headed stepchild. TWC, if I could get it, would be 1st choice with Voom a close second. If your folks can get TWC its a great thing.

I saw it too... I thought they were done mapping channels because the new software update was going to have manual scan. Intersting that they add spanish WB, but not KNWS. ARG!

Welcome to Voom!

It's highly unlikely that voom will map this channel. HOWEVER there is hope because the next software update coming this month is going to have the holy grail of OTA for Voom: MANUAL SCAN!!! <crowd cheers> I am dying for some Astros baseball on KNWS. Thank God for miniplan season tickets!

I must have talked to the janitor or something... :D sounds like they're working on the problem and that's great!

KHOU's # - (713) 526-1111 Ask for engineering. Maybe you'll get someone who knows what they're talking about.

The conversation was pretty much worthless. He told me it must be my TV, everything looks fine here. I told him it was not fine and he said sorry "can't fix something that isn't broken. Call your TV manufacturer." :mad: *sigh* at least their HD is awesome. I didn't want to complain TOO much. :)

yes, this is a CBS problem. I've tested it on multiple tuners on multiple TVs. I use a TV stretch mode to fill the screen when CBS broadcasts 4:3. But stretching is annoying. I'll call KHOU's engineer to find out why this happens. I'll also ask him how hard it would be to use gray bars...

The Rockets face the Lakers tonight on ESPN. Sure wish I could watch it. I'm kind of tired of posting this kind of stuff. I really need ESPN!!! :mad:

My beloved Astros were on in HD tonight, on INHD!!!! I wish I could've watched it. :no
