    Congrats Arlo! Sounds like yours went smoothly from the jump. I envy you! I'm sure you won't regret puttin' VoOm on the other side of your HD screen. I haven't. But believe me, I find myself standing in front of my mit with remote in hand and justa scratching my head from time to time, but these...

    I for one wished I would have spent more time in this thread before my initial install visit. I honestly feel I would have been a better position to manage my frustrations and filter out much of DataLinks crap and sophistry. But it was a learning experience if nothing else. Now when the...

    No need for an apology t, it was my attempt at humor. Since you saw a need to apologize, I guess it was a feable attempt at best. My apologies. Just got off the phone with VoOm, They walked me through a re-scanning process, then schedule another visit for Friday noon. That's between the hours...

    Now you're beginning to talk Greek to me Tyork,... no Klingon! LOL. I think I'll start with calling VoOm tomorrow. It is nice to know though that I'm not expecting too much to have more than three OTA stations for my location.

    What is it with Dragon ya'll? He reminds me of the little weasle (or fox) character on my youngest son's fav TV show,... Dora The Explorer. Maybe if you guys chant together, all at once, "Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping", just maybe he'll stop bashing you folks. He seems...

    My zip is 21133. And as for the Antenna, I would imagine it's the standard one I hear everyone talkling about. Looks a little like a blade off of a gas lawn mower, it's gray with a gray plastic piece in the center where it's mounted to the post. Since the installer left before I was able to see...

    Oh I'm really VoOmin' now Tyork. Everything is just fine. Shortly after my last post, I called in and the guy re-flashed each receiver and things are just fine. Only had one freeze, but it was momentary and the STB suddenly came back to life. Weird though, the sound was still moving but not the...

    Well, I'm well past the 1 hour mark, more like an hour and a half and I'm still looking at a black screen. I'm beginning to wonder if something is stuck. All three screens are blank and have been that way at least for an hour. My upstairs unit did stick on a screen with the message about my...

    Hey T, Vicki & Porter, Guess what? VoOm is here. Install went well. Just waiting for stuff to dowload. Installer says I'm gonna need a better OTAm but he can't give it to me now,... I have to call him back via VoOm. No wonder they've bled so much LOL! Wouldn't it be cheaper to fix the OTA...

    Oh you know I will T. As much help as you've been, it would be very uncool and ugly for me not to keep you and the gang posted. Didn't get on last nite because it took until 11:45 before my son and I found that last damn egg. But we found it. YEAH!!! Plus I had some of my face pullin' aunts...

    Yeah Tyork, but girl has it been a nightmare. Still not completely installed (I received an incomplete install from DataLink's 2nd installer... another story I will share with you later.), but VoOm has promised that the installer due here tomorrow morning from a different installer, will fix...

    Well,... that's what VoOm said early yesterday evening. They told me that I should be receiving a call from DataLink to confirm. That call from DL never happened and around 6:00 p.m., I decided to call them, that's how I got the NoVa number off their after-hours recording. This morning I called...

    It's 2:04 p.m. my time here in Baltimore. Just received my long promised call from Becky @ DataLink. They will be here tomorrow afternoon (that's 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for Dragon) to install my VoOm. "I'll be there in 3 minutes" would have sounded better, but tomorrow is reasonable, fair and...

    Thanks APorter. Hey T, just got off the line with DataLink, Becky was in a meeting (hope my delima was a piece of the meeting's agenda). Promised a call-back from Becky when she's released from the meeting. Also received a call from VoOm this morning, shortly after my first post. Let's see...

    And thank you TYORK. Your friends are very lucky people I hope they know it. Thought I'd come here and read the lastest posts before calling Becky over at DataLink. I'm wondering now if I should wait awhile before calling. Man, all I know is that you folks in here are the best,... Dragon...

    Yes, quite right. Arrival time is NOT my issue. The guy showed up almost dead center in his window. My isssue is in his insistence that the dish be placed on my deck and his reporting to his office that the only alternative was to use a 40 foot latter, which he did not have. Repeat, it doesn't...

    Thanks for that info riffjim. The 703 number is the # their recording gave me when I tried reaching them around 6:00 p.m. After my final call-back from VoOm, they asked that I call DataLink to confirm. But the recording said that was the number to reach the manager of weekend installs. I...

    Installs, Inc.... That's the company who sent me an e-mail confirming my install date/time, along with some suggestions for making the install smoother. Like having crap already moved out of the installer's way before he gets here. But that's not the company who paid the visit. According to...

    Wow tyork, you sound like someone others know they gotta listen to if they wanna continue to get paid. Anyway, the company goes by the name of Data Link and operate in the Baltimore, MD metro area. I'm in Randallstown, MD, a part of the Bmore metro. The encounter happened so quickly and I was so...

    12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. is what I meant by noon. Sorry for the confusion. Scheduled for the p.m. window I guess is the best way to say it. Found out later after VoOm called me back, that it was a Company by the name of Data Link. Was also told that this wasn't the first Data Link install call...
