Before calling Voom, do some research. Are you just not receiving ABC
or is it not mapped at all. If not mapped, you will have to request
it from Voom. If it is mapped, you need to figure out why you aren't
receiving it. Have you been to antennaweb.com (maybe .org, I don't
remember)? Plug in your address. Is the ABC tower the same place as
the rest of them? If not, you may have a directional problem with
your antenna as opposed to a problem with the antenna itself. You may
have to check with the station. Are they down? It's possible. Are
they broadcasting on super low power? If so, you might have to build
a house at the base of the tower with a 50' antenna in order to pick
it up.
If you are mapped for ABC, and receiving all of the other stations,
you've got a problem unique to your location. You need to sit down
and figure out what is causing the problem and the best solution. We
might be able to help, but we need much more info.
