This past Thursday (12-9-04) my Voom was installed. Everything works perfectly now, but it didn't at first. The installer told me to wait about 45 min. for info. to download, and I wouldn't get lockups. Well, there were lots of channels that caused lockups. I called Voom, and they said to reboot and wait over-night with the box in standby mode - that didn't work. So, long story short, after 3 days, everything finally works - no more lockups, popping sounds, and lack of guide info. I know this has happened to lots of others and I just wanted to let the new users know that it may take a few days of patience. Anyway, the picture is fantastic - on some channels better than fantastic. The SD channels are better than what I experienced with digital cable. Here's a list of what I'd liked changed (in a perfect world):
*I'd like the "favorites" and "HD only" guides to show the channel I'm on when I go to them, respectively- for some reason only in "all channels" does it work right.
*I'd LOVE better (up to date) movie selection in the HD cinema channels
On the other hand,there are too many good things to mention. When I saw the picture on certain shows on the HD channels, I new I'd made a good decision and all my complaints seemed unimportant (except for better movie selection).
By the way, I'm in Fort Worth, TX and getting GREAT OTA reception.
