My OTA channels are working fine, but all the satellite channels are not coming up. I'm in Roswell, GA, just north of Atlanta. We've had an ice storm this weekend, not sure if the ice on the dish could cause the problem?? The dish did not get hit or anything.

Same for me, but I am in Roswell also, so maybe it is weather. But, I was getting a signal about 2 hours ago.

More than likely it's the ice on the dish. With the high angle it's pointing up you have a coating on the dish. Be thankfull you have power, there were over 300,000 without according to last nights news. Receiving a great signal here in the northeast with another 2" of fresh snow sitting on the dish.

Doesn't seem any worse than last night, but maybe you're right. We'll see how it goes later today....

Same here. Calling the Voom 800# was useless.

Satellite channels

They came on about 1:00 or so. Must have been the ice on the dish. It's all melted now.
 

OTA after Voom shutdown ?
