    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    Adam: sounds like a signal quality issue, you might be loosing too many dbs on the way to the second box. How many times have you split it? Are the two boxes on the same antenna? If one gets it and the other doesn't, try replacing the coax to the one that is not receiving signal...

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    Go for Voom! It really is wonderful. the OTA antenna will be whatever is necessary to have you receive all the stations. Installs will send the guy out however many times necessary to make sure you are a happy camper. Voom ships with the stealth, and if that won't work, they will get you...

    TX: How far away are you from the tower? go to antennaweb and find out, if you are close enough (which you might be) and your antenna is a high powered, you should be good to go. Is MetroTech doing your install? they know their stuff and will get you in the right direction.

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    I got the SquareShooter hooked up and it's a lot bigger than i anticipated. It picks up all the stations, except ABC, so I am a happy camper. Anyone know of a good VHF indoor antenna that I can switch to when MNF comes around?

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    I am using the cable that came out of the Voom box. Getting the SquareShooter installed on Wednesday, will let everyone know about the OTA then. I was able to move the antenna around on Saturday and get a signal quality of 75 for Channel 11 to watch the Final Four. It was SPECTACULAR! I had...

    Voom, OTA & my Homeowners Assoc

    A fellow DFW person! Welcome to Voom. this area they can't keep you from having the dish, but it can't protrude outside of your dwelling area. So, if you have a balcony (like I do) then just make sure the dish is within the confnes of the balcony and doesn't peak over. I just went to Lowes...

    I am in Dallas, maybe there are lots of us that need the SS, they are a quality install company though, good luck with your install, if you get JC between 9 and 1, that was my time, I'll see him on Wednesday!

    You might want to try a bucket mount, here's a link of how it is done and some pics. I am going to have to remount mine, apartment complex is pretty stern. Installer wants $75 to do it, i am going to do it for less than $20. http://www.bluedonkey.org/weblog/archives/000034.html

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    msnyder: i am able to see a little bit of a station here and there but with a lot of ghosting. SquareShooter should eliminate the ghosting, and the way I wedged the silver sensor between the wall and railing I got Fox perfectly today. weird. I had to talk to Joe at Installs about the...

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    Update: Just received a call from the honorable Joe Harkin at Installs, Inc. I was wondering if i was blown off as my original request was a week ago and he started the conversation with a heart-felt apology for his delay. Then we got down to business. After about 10 minutes of him...

    Steven: THANK YOU for that knowledge!!! That will help me greatly decide which antenna and where to put it! Did you mean WFAA was 8.1? I bet I can get something VHF for that specific station for Monday Night Football, otherwise who watches ABC?

    Dallas/Texas Voomers Unite!

    Am I correct in assuming that the 4.1 and 5.1 etc channels are broadcast VHF? I have not tried the SquareShooter, but have tried the RadioShack flying saucer, the silver sensor, Terk TV55 and the Stealth. With the Stealth, while holding it today, i was able to get NBC at a 50 PQ, but as soon...
