A couple of years ago there was a problem with Kaet signal with voom receivers do to the tv guide info , but it was fixed . I have emailed Kaet and have not got a reply yet about if they a working on a fix or if I am SOL.

Voom Receivers working with Kaet 8

from another website :
The top PBS engineer from the PBS corporation wrote back to me and said that he was able to obtain a VOOM box for his test lab and was able to re-create the problem. He told me all the nitty gritty details about why the problem is happening and confirmed that my local station did change their broadcast signal they just probably are not aware of the change because this particular change would have been made by PBS corporate. From what I gathered, he said that even with their digital broadcast they were using an analog carrier to send the TV guide information. They changed this to a digital signal for the TV guide and it causes the Voom box to crash. He said that he would work to correct the problem. He said if VOOM was still in business they would probably have issued a firmware upgrade to fix the problem. He was very nice and sounded very authorative on the subject but I still cannot get PBS to work.
