advice on voom quality in charlotte, nc

[toptiger]

any of you have any experience with voom in charlotte, nc (matthews/indian trail area)? what ota stations canyou get? what type of antenna was installed? will tivo work with voom to record sat and ota hd? just about to order voom and need some comments before making the decision.

an antenna wholesaler recommended the winegard square shooter as the best ota antenna for charlotte due to the tower array situation (several distinct direction clusters)...comments?

thanks for your imput.

toptiger,

welcome to the forum. I do not know much about your area. Check www.antennaweb.org to star. There's a lot of threads about Voom/Tivo here are a few:

thanks sean, antennaweb shows 2 clusters about 90 degrees apart (almost due north and due west)...both clusters have some important channels. any experience with the "square shooter"? i understand it should cover both clusters.

toptiger,

I don't use the square shooter. Here's a thread about NC that you should read if you haven't http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=11428&page=2&pp=15

Here are some thread on the square shooter. Read with caution since some of the information on these old threads have changed. For example, the scanning function was not available in some of these threads.
