Voom install tomorrow- Anyone interested?

DEFINITELY update us on that!

Well, here it goes.
Installer arrived at 0930; he had a four-hour window of 8-12.

He did his thing, which may have been simplified quite a bit because my house was already wired for satellite. By 1130 I was watching the satellite broadcasts as well as off-air broadcasts from 2 local channels.

The installer was a local contractor but he said the installation is identical to Dish and Direct (reuse of existing in house wiring for Dish and Direct customers). The only difference being that the dish points to the east-southeast instead of west-southwest for the other two.

The Voom install package, which is currently free, includes the dish, wiring and off air antennae (The box is rented for $9.50/month). The default antenna isn’t quite good enough for my location (30 miles from towers). I am supposed to receive six local channels from the off-air antennae so the installer submitted a work order with Voom to obtain permission to install a better antennae still free with authorization). I am waiting to hear back from Voom on the status.

I'll leave it at that for now. I want to spend a few more hours watching Voom's programming so that I can write a little better review of what I am getting. Stand by for more.
