    No worries FE. I live in an apt and have a small indoor Radio Shack antenna...works fine...get all OTAs. And yes, I kept my VOOM antenna...the installer said that was fine. Also, there have been some horror stories around the forum about rough installs but they seemed to have lessened. Mine...

    You must have SE exposure for Voom Aleki, you must have some SE exposure (130-ish degrees on the compass) in order to hit the 61.5 sat. Elevation is then 35-ish degrees above horizontal. Good luck!!

    Cool boatman. I've only had it since 4/7, but loving it. PQ was going thru some pains, but now seems to be much better. Love the OTAs too. Viva la Voom!

    I had INHD & INHD2 with TWC at my last residence. Voom is better than TWC for HD of course, but really hope Voom gets these 2 eventually. They are GREAT channels!

    Wow PDQ, I didn't think you could pick up VHF stations (ie..PBS) with a Silver Sensor since the antenna is UHF only. That's the reason I didn't get one of those. I got a small RCA UHF/VHF for my apt and it works fine. But I've heard good things about the SS. And yes, PBS is one of the best...

    That's great! And thanks for the download tip...will do!

    TG you are correct. 8-15 for some reason is that Voom ad. But yes, 8-1 is PBS. And remember PBS is VHF. I'm in an apt so I picked up a small RCA UHF/VHF antenna...works fine and I can pick up VHF and the rest of the digital locals (have only been watching CBS and PBS so need to check on 51)...

    Do you turn your sat box off at night? Mine was off one of those first nights, but I had awakened in the middle of the night and some yellow lights were visible on the display. When I got up the next day the receiver was back to off (so they must have hit it that night when it was off)...

    My time was behind too. But they hit it within a couple of days and changed it. Just give it a couple (work) days since your install was on Friday. Maybe it will happen first of next week. If it's not done by say Tues, I'd give 'em a call.

    Yeah, that is weird. If it's digital I would think it should be.

    Thanks Duces. PAX would be a nice addition.

    Welcome to the digital revolution ASF! Yes, I too couldn't have done with out these guys here - they helped tremendously....THANKS GANG! Hang in there, ESPN's gotta be here soon.

    No problem. I'm with ya...and yeah I'm a 'stros fan, of course! Granted, I would think if KNWS does indeed broadcast digitally and your OTA eqpt talks their lingo (UHF vs. VHF) why wouldn't it be a done deal - now there I would definitely need a lesson :) . But why it's not in the guide...

    Welcome Tallguy. We're all soon-to-be Voomers here. Don't know anything about KNWS....would definitely be nice for sure. We can only hope eventually, if not right away. Glad to hear you've jumped on the Voom rocket!

    Thanks for the info! I may go pick up that SS. I'll let you know how the install goes, you bet. I've got my fingers crossed for both of us!

    I feel your pain. SBC Home Ent is the only option at my property (but of course no HD). Have always had TWC (never had sat before) but since it wasn't avail I've had the "2 Ds" come out but I have same orientation as you, so no dice since they're SSW. So, when I heard about VOOM thought 3rd...

    Excellent ASF! I'm in an apt so I have other issues (dish location, pass-thrus, etc.). Per this site (and others) I've been checking periodically with Installs, Inc. to confirm install date/eqpt recd/shipped....just for peace of mind and no surprises. And granted programming is still on its...
