    I assume... it looks like standard cable. The Voom installer installed it.

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    wow...quite a set-up. Maybe I need something more aggressive for Channel 3? I dont why 3 would be an issue when the others are ok. There must be a technical quirk I dont understand....

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    Thanks for the tip. I unplugged the power block, I disconnected and reconnected both cables and still nothing... I wonder if my power injector/amplifier is "defective"..maybe working but not 100? Would this explain getting Channel 3 sometimes? Again the other OTA channels are fine. It is the...

    no diplexor; yes it has an amplifier. What set up are you using? Channel 3 is the only issue... others are perfect.

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    damn Fayrich...there must be some interference with the signal at times then? If it was the antenna, it makes no sense to get the signal for days then no signal at all. Plus I get all my other channels just fine all the time. It is strange. Any technical gurus out there with any advice?

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    Channel 3 is more or less bahving itself most of the time. Still some pixelation at times but still watchable. I dont think I need to tweak my antenna anymore. I think it is the broadcast.

    Congrats! I am a Cleveland Voomer. Ironically, the NBC local here is the only OTA channel that seems to be fine at times and breaks up/pixelates at other times. All the other locals are solid, I am using the Stealth. I dont think I can adjust it much more unless an inch or so makes a big...

    Thanks.... yes, it is pixelating now. Check your 3.1 signal quality during prime time. You will see a difference.

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    Cleveland Voomers.. regarding OTA Channel 3.. I find that it is weak and pixelates during the day but is fine at night. It this because they are throwing out more power at (6pm or later) night? All the other OTA channels seem stable all the time. Is this your experience? other explanation?

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    FWIW... an update on my install from Prostar Digital. Today, they came back out and installed the VoOm dish and took out the DirecTV dish. I felt it was PC to use the Voom dish. I now have a signal strength of 95-96 vs. 88-89 using the DTV dish. Even though the DirecTV worked, I believe the...

    Thanks.. my signal is 88-89...I asked several times if it was peaked to the max and was told yes. I even questioned the use of the D* dish vs. the Voom dish and was assured it would be fine. The PQ and audio is terrific.. so if it can get better....I wil be REALLY impressed!

    VOOM and OTA reception in Cleveland, OH

    Another NEW VoOmer in Ohio! My install was yesterday. All went well. The installer was terrific. I love the HD PQ. I find the SD channels to be equivalent to DirecTV. I got the new software download overnight. The stealth antenna picks up all OTA channels but one (Channel 3) strangely enough...

    Thanks Fayrich, Sounds like the 18" VOOM dish will be just as good as my DirecTV dish. A signal loss few times a year due to weather is not an issue. Heck my cable would go out a few times a year too... I am looking forward to Vooming! Finally.
