    Talk I had with a csr

    Free VaVaVOOM trial Superjfly, I think if you called VOOM (or called again) and clearly explained that your initial installation was only started AFTER the VaVaVOOM free promotional period had been announced for new subscribers, then they would "re-hit" your receiver and give you those two...

    Indoor Antenna?

    Based on my experience with 4 other indoor amplified and non-amplified antennas, I would vote for the Silver Sensor. It is tiny, so you can easily mount it outside, too. I had marginal reception on a couple of local stations, so I mounted the SS outside and the marginal stations became solid.

    Will you stay with VOOM until it goes dark?

    Another returnee to BUD If Voom folds the tent, I will also be going back to my big dish and 4DTV receiver setup. It will be a pain in the butt get it back alive and to teach my wife how to use it again, but the serious loss in NTSC picture quality with DirecTV and DishNetwork would be even...

    Voom Csr's Good / Bad

    Good San Diego Voom Company/Installer First of all, I do not work for Voom or have any ties whatsoever to the dealer mentioned below. I have had a great experience with my San Diego Voom company: All Digital Satellites in Encinitas (760-436-1929). They have a small showroom with active...

    Happy Camper with 24 inch Dish

    Unsatisfactory Sat Signal Strength FJA, Thanks for the fast response. Your satellite signal strength of 10 clearly indicates that the dish is NOT properly aligned to the satellite. Are you getting a satellite picture right now?? I would doubt it. Anyway, make sure to tell the installer...

    Happy Camper with 24 inch Dish

    What is your Sat signal strength? FJA, You can check your own satellite signal strength. Why don't you do this and report back to us? Your strength with a 24 inch dish and a clear view of the satellite should be above 97 or so. My signal strengths are 98 on one receiver and 99 on the...

    Shaky Start...But Hoping

    Marginal installation/OTA reception web site info Congrats on the VOOM decision, but sorry to hear about your problems. I lucked out and had an excellent installer in San Diego. When they return (hopefully someone with more experience) to resolve your 3rd receiver and OTA problems, make...

    Is there any chance to get rid of the land phone line requirement

    Phone Line Requirement/Not Always I just had a VOOM installation completed with two receivers. Neither the installer nor the retailer ever mentioned a phone line requirement. Both of my VOOM receivers are phone-less and working just fine. I would not have installed VOOM if I had been forced...

    Happy Camper with 24 inch Dish

    FJA, What happens to the 24 inch dish in your Vegas winds? I was thinking of a VOOM installation in Carson City. That location has some really high winds... I wouldn't think that 18 inch satellite dishes in unprotected locations fare much better with high winds. Can you re-locate the...

    Happy Camper with 24 inch Dish

    It's early in the game, but so far my VOOM experience in San Diego is very positive. I had a quality two receiver installation yesterday with a 24 inch dish (per my request). My Sat signal strength in clear weather is 98 or 99. We just had a moderate rain shower here and the signal level...
