Ok I am a little confuse and maybe someone can help I am seeing OTA here in GA, 2 channels 11-1 showing the opening ceremony , 11-2 showing HD 2002 ice skating.
Are you getting a signal from 321, 593 & 594 (post here)?

Yeah, I am really confused...why the hell are the folks with HD seeing reruns of 2 year old skating, and everyone with LOW DEF tv gets to see what they actually came for??
And, is there only ONE STUPID comercial available from Sony in HD??
Geez, this is no way to start the Olympics...
NBC, are you total idiots????

Actually, I can't get it OTA via antenna on local NBC. Local NBC only broadcasts one digital signal. It is the high def version, which will be six hour blocks that are 24 hours old. Local NBC broadcasts an analog signal but I can't see it--the VOOM receiver doesn't display analog. So I can't see the main coverage of the Olympics.calikarim said:
Hi:
As much as I like to blame VOOM, this one is not really their fault. It is NBC's and the FCC. There will be no live HD broadcast of any Olympic events or ceremonies on any provider satellite or cable. This is because NBC asked for special permission to not have their digital broadcast match their analog broadcast during the Olympics and the FCC granted the permission. VOOM is providing the NBC feeds because I guess there are many customers whose OTA for NBC still doesn't work. If I couldn't receive my NBC OTA and VOOM wouldn't turn on the satellite NBC feed because I was in an area that was supposed to be able to receive NBC OTA I would make sure VOOM was out ASAP to get my OTA working properly - no matter what it took.

Oh woe is poor Sniffle. :river No pity for those who don't bother to read this Forum, both the e-mail and snail mail from VOOM regarding NBC's Olympic coverage, and finally VOOM's website, "*Availability of NBC and NBC HDTV varies based on customer location." http://www.voom.com/lp/olympics.jspslffl said:

No NBC HD in Lancaster, PA
I too get the idiot message on 321, 593, 594, to call VOOM to order this channel. My local NBC OTA, has no sound!!! At 2100 local here near LAncaster, PA, the local turned on the sound and showed the opening ceremonies with the 1 hr delay. As soon as the ceremonies were over, the sound went off again.
How do I activate VOOM HD for the Olympics??

Nothing in Detroit. And NBC's digital OTA station is broadcasting the HD delayed feed. Which means no live Olymics or regular NBC programming for me.
I live in Brunswick, Ohio... a southwest burb of Cleveland
