If I had an extra component or DVI input I'd still be using the Sammy.
Although it's not HD at least the picture is clear, I am using my Zenith STB with the S-Video connection. It's better than having no locals and a blank screen on VOOM.
DirecTV's latest approach is the best one -- which I presume (hope) VOOM is looking to duplicate. DirecTV maps stations based on the zip code you enter, but also includes OTA scanning to supplement this list of stations. DirecTV also allows the user to enter in a second zip code -- to map networks for a second market. That way, you can get program information on locals from two markets -- like Baltimore and DC.
I like that approach.
What VOOM should have at least done, and probably would have cured many of the OTA mapping problems would have been to actually put in the channels listed for your zip code on the Zap2it guide. When I ordered VOOM I thought those channels would be the ones mapped.
That is probably made many mad. VOOM shows you all the channels receivable in your zip code with their Zap2it guide, but when you get VOOM installed those aren't the channels in your local channel map.
