    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Guess I helped myself. I'm rather shocked the tax could be this high for something with no governmental service provided. Anyway, from Myflorida gov site: What is the Tax Rate? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In general, the tax includes a...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Little help here. Just reviewed my paper statement for charges from 10/13 - 11/12 and my sales tax doubled. It is now 12.2% of my total bill. I called Voom to complain. Initially that tried to tell me they double-checked and that is correct for Florida. I told them they have to be nuts. 12.2% in...

    7/14 OTA Mapping Adds to Motorola Box

    Sean: Our PBS station in West Palm Beach finally went digital as of 7/4/04. This is good since my reception of the Miami PBS is hit or miss. It's not on your list. The particulars are: WXEL TV42. Digital broadcast is on channel 27 and called WXEL DTV27. I don't know what zip codes you...

    What are the chances this will work?

    Hard to say given the info you've provided. Sounds like you might not have line of sight. Will your apartment complex actually allow you to install on the roof? I would be very surprised. According to FCC regs, they can't prevent you from installing on your exclusive use property, but they can...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    I assume you are somewhere down south of WPB and you are saying the WPB stations magically appeared in your PG. I am in the opposite position - I'm in WPB (obviously always have had the WPB stations) and a couple days ago all of the Miami stations magically appeared. I can receive three or four...

    Weingard Square Shooter- OTA anyone?

    Let me digress for a moment - I live in West Palm. Sometime over the past couple days, all of the Miami stations were mapped into my box. I have no idea why since I've never raised a mapping issue with Voom and they weren't there before. My box has been rock solid since installed a month ago...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Couple observations after four days of Voom. I'm using a very good Sony XBR analog for now. Holding out for the new Sammy HLP's when they're released. The wait is killing me. Took playing with composite, S-video, and component cables and varying the "red button" for each until I was able to...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Yeah, my download came last night also. Latest version ends in .68. I'm not the greatest expert but I'll take a shot at some of the above questions: As for the DVI cable that comes with Voom, a lot of people much, much smarter than I have said it is just fine and to use it. If you are a...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Well, a very happy install today. Somehow we got it in between the tornado-type weather early this morning and the heavy rain we're getting now. After reading for many weeks about the horrible install stories all around the country I consider myself very fortunate. A true gentleman from All...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Professional Installations of Palm Beach - well, that makes the third company. When I first got the name of Hi-Tech, I called them to find out who installed in Palm Beach (assuming they wouldn't be doing it from Ft. Laud) - they actually got a little uppity at my question and somewhat haughtily...

    South Florida Voom Zone!!!

    Live in Royal Palm Beach and set for a Monday install. I have been told for ages that Hi-Tech in Ft. Laud. is the only Voom installer in the area. I live in a townhouse and have some unique issues so I had one of Hi-Tech's installers (Scott) out for a site survey about a week ago. Loved his...

    Voom, OTA & my Homeowners Assoc

    I own a townhouse in a community made up of two-story quad buildings. I've put in my request and it will be heard at our weekly meeting next Thursday. I don't anticipate any problem with the dish location which will be a very low mount near the A/C unit and surrounded, but not obscured, by...

    Voom and Apartments

    I'm no expert, but I've been dealing with some similar situations as I own a townhouse and have some "exclusive use" limitations also. A tripod should work, but you need to be able to anchor or weight it down. The railing clamp may be a better idea. One of my possible solutions is a tripod...
