Any word?
Any word on how the testing on the combiner is going? I've been receiving ABC for a while now but last night it was in and out. Just wondering if they stopped testing for a while or something last night.

On my end ...I scanned last night and ABC and FOX were in the 90's...and that never was for me. Even WPIX had a little more juice for me. Very happy about this...but now lets bring on UPN and NBC to finish things out.
I scanned and I got nothing...went back to AVS and everyone seemed to be getting a sig with no picture. So after scanning again I inputted 38 and received a sig of 91 for the ch. Pressed save but the VOOM receiver doesnt seem to pick up the ch. Strange. I did a full scan again and ...again nothing for ch 38. Why?
Sean,
We need your help here. VOOM will not scan 9-1 into the mapping. I have another OTA tuner and I can scan it in at 90% yet VOOM skips the channel when scanning. Could you please alert VOOM to map the channel for us. Need this ASAP, because VOOM may not be around long enough.
Thanks

Same here, channel 38 at signal strength 98 or 99 but not added in the scan. Help, please!
P.S. Scan detects both the old WPIX (VHF 12) and the new WPIX (UHF 33). How can one tell which underlying channel the VOOM box is actually using?
guys, I am on it. I did the scan and although 38 comes with a signal of 98 the box does not decodes. It must be that the signal is missing the PSIP information. Channel 33 does get recorded. I will let the engineers that they need to add 38 to our mapping. I did not accepted the scan for wpix since they are transmitting at 11 and 12 still. On channel 33 does it give you the PGI or not?
Sean,
If this helps, I have an OTA scanner built in to one of my TV's and channel 38 scans in perfectly and remaps to channel 9-1 and 9-2. Yet, the VOOM box recognizes the channel but refuses to map it into the channel list. Wouldn't the fact that it maps channel 38 to channel 9-1 on my other built in OTA tuner indicate that the PSIP information is there ? I think VOOM simply needs to map channel 38 for us, since it does not scan.

I have the E* 6000 receiver and I was able to scan it without any problems. I am watching it right now. They have Veronica Mars in HD!
One thing I noticed is that when you do a scan channel 5-2 comes up as WWOR-DT. Maybe the VOOM box gets confused when it finds a second WWOR-DT on channel 38 and will not map it. Maybe if they remove channel 5-2, channel 38 will map as WWOR-DT. Just an idea. Maybe this will help.
I do not think so. Channel 5-2 corresponds to RF 44. Don't worry it will be fixed. Hopefully tomorrow.
