Suddenly the guide isn't showing up and I'm not getting all the channels

In the past few days, VOOM has been acting strangely.

Specifically, the guide often does not load (sometimes it does however), and I cannot tune some (non-OTA) channels. For instance I can get HBOHD but not HBO. I have no idea why. Nothing else has changed (including my firmware - I'm not running the latest 7.x update).

Any idea what's going on? Am I alone in these problems?

I must have finally gotten my update, cuz I generally don't have program guides, after a reboot I can get a couple hours worth. This is highly irritating.

1. Check phone line, (must be connected to a working line)
2. Check all cable & connectors, (requires disconection & inspection of connectors)
also check cable for any bad places, (ie: sharpe bends, flat spots are not good)
3. If using diplexer, try bypassing, (this has worked for Me several times)
I find in most service calls, one of these to be the problem. If not call Voom
and get a tech to service it, prob a bad IRD. good luck!

This is my sixth day with VOOM...everything was working very well, incredible HD, until I had extreme rain fade yesterday for hours-understandable I guess, as we had nearly four inches of rain...VOOM cleared up last night and all was well...since I got in from work this afternoon, I've had a mix of missing channels, heavy pixelation on others, no program guide, slight pixelation on the few channels that I can get, one or two channels seems normal... :confused: I've tried a series of soft and hard reboots... Strangely enough, I'm getting great reception from a couple of locals that have been hit or miss up until now...it's this way on both STBs...the skies are partly cloudy but nothing to warrant this mixed bag of tricks! It may be moisture in the dish or hook ups or whatever, but I'm going to have to call in VOOM tech-it's dark when I get in from work and didn't pay $250. for VOOM installation and over $10K for plasma and LCD TVs to turn into a do-it-yourselfer...excuse the rant, I'm not a rant type but this is a bit much...I signed up for VOOM with a postive attitude and was prepared to weather an occasional glitch or even a billing problem, but am not a happy camper at this point...I had friends drop by to check out the new Sony plasma and VOOM, and it was highly embarrassing... (gee, we can watch myopic CBS sit coms or hey, maybe I can find the UNO cards!!!) :D I'll give VOOM every chance, but my free time to relax and watch TV is extremely limited and this has been a very lousey night :(

Sounds like your rain fade must have moved your dish. It may need realigning.

Thanks, voomvoom, sounds logical...I'll have it checked out...some of the channels have cleared up, now that it's time for bed! Please forgive the rant, everyone-I really want to love VOOM and have, to this point!

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T runs First Net which was set up so first responders have a signal almost everywhere, which is the case around here and up and down the east coast when I've been traveling. In my experience T-Mobile has the fastest network but patchy coverage while Verizon has a slow network and also patchy coverage as well. We also have a iPhone on T-Mobile and one on Mobile-X which uses the Verizon network, so comparison is easy.

I did a 2500 mile round trip road trip a few weeks ago, there were a handful of places where Verizon had service and I had nothing on FirstNet. Most notably in the backwoods of Kentucky and Tennessee. Those same places I had no service on T-Mobile either. In populated areas, like the Lexington metro and Knoxville metro AT&T not only had great coverage, better than Verizon and T-Mobile generally, they have n77 everywhere. I hit 1.2 Gbps or higher pretty much everywhere, beating out the other two. That is the exact opposite here back in Western NY. Very little n77 on AT&T here and T-Mobile always rockets to 1.5 Gbps or higher.

As far as I know, there is no AT&T tower in my town. The tower I connect to when I'm outside, no service indoors, is one about 4.5 miles north of me in a different town, I can barley latch on to band 12, not 14. It's LTE only but when near that tower I exceed 200 Mbps which is phenomenal for low band LTE, but T-Mobile and Verizon have mid band on the same tower, and i'm well over a gig.

I'm looking forward to the n14 conversion and deployment of n79/4.9 GHz. Since AT&T can't sell their home internet service in NY State, I don't expect big things from them besides the enhancements to FirstNet.

We're in NY and we can now. We're an AT&T retailer and have been selling AT&T Internet Air for a few months. It's $35 a month if you're an AT&T post paid subscriber, $55 a month if you're not a subscriber.

The AT&T Internet that everyone has access to is AT&T WorldNet aka att.com which is the same backbone created in 1994 that is a joke. AT&T has 3 Internet tier 1 backbones. AT&T Global Network Services formerly IBM Global Network Services (prserv.net) and AT&T Emerging Network Services, formerly (CERFNet (California Educational and Research Foundation Network) that was part of NSFNet (National Science Foundation Network). AT&T WorldNet has always been a inferior and not the same quality as the other two which are highly respected.

I know, that still will use AT&T's 1996 created backbone better known as AS 7018 which is the lower end. The other two are higher end under AS2685 & AS2686 & AS1740 & AS1838.

Veterans Day and business closed, so movie day and some tv on the patio. Watched several Chewed Up episodes on YouTube out on the patio until lunch time then came inside for the surround and movies.

Raise The Titanic (1980). Great musical score by John Barry of James Bond music fame.

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot

New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com www.autoweek.com

The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.


:eek


It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

IF they had made the cyber truck more like a conventional truck, more would have bought it. There is a REASON trucks all have a very similar layout....it's what people want AND it serves the purposes those of us who have a truck needs.

As it is, most consumers buy trucks as comfortable transportation rather than commercial utility. The Cybertruck approach to that goal was way out in left field. It turned out to be more of an austere sedan with awful daily-driver attributes (visibility, parking). The expectations regarding truck durability were dashed early on.

EV owners could face a new $130 annual federal fee as soon as December.

  • Congress is considering a new annual fee for electric vehicle owners to help fund road maintenance.
  • The proposed fee would start at $130 for EVs and $35 for plug-in hybrids, potentially increasing over time.
  • This fee aims to have EV drivers contribute to the Highway Trust Fund, which is primarily funded by gasoline taxes.
