    So, Scott, will voom stb work after 3am 5/1?

    Voom to Dish transition That would work for me, change the message so that we can decide if we want e* or not. I'd be happy with one week to make up my mind and then extend it if they can't do the install in that time frame.

    No Rumors, just wishfull thinking

    Hey guys, Here is to scotch and gin and tonic on a nice Sunday afternoon: Who owns the bird now? Dishnetwork What are they planning on doing with it for the short term? Diddly squat What about keeping it up with what it is feeding us now at the same price and at least get a little...

    Where is the Bird?

    That's interesting, I'll need to think about it since we're planning on selling this place. By the way, what's on the 61.5? That's where the Voom bird is also

    Cable TV HD Competition

    Unless the VP of Marketing is also a CSR, I would not worry too much about that comment. The sales of HDTV are still going up and prices are falling. They may not rush as quickly to ramp up HDTV offering but will probably do it so that the quality is there instead... hopefully

    Return of Equipment

    If they want it back, all I have to say is that it better not cost me anything. No time lost at work, no Saturday wasted waiting for them or any shipping cost. I love Voom but I am mad at that situation and how it was handled

    Where is the bird?

    I might have them come have a look but those trees are 60' high and very wide. Plus I have a single story house. My OTA are on this side and I can barely get my PBS channel that's just over 11 miles in the same tree cluster.

    Where is the bird?

    Thanks guys but based on your help, the birds are on the worst line of my property for line of sight, the coverage is so bad in that area that I can't even see the sky.

    Where are all the VOOMERS Going?

    I'll go back to Comcrap myself. Not much HD but they have the locals wich I can not get in my neck of the woods (Literally). The only hole in my tree coverage was open to the 61.5 slot. So unless someone use R1 for a better HD package, I am back to the coax Even my wife is bummed about that...

    Where is the bird?

    On directv website, if you go to the self-install section, you can enter your zip code and it will give you azimuth and elevation. For me it's right in front of a 60' pine tree and most of the rest of the big trees in my neighborhood

    Where is the Bird?

    On Dish website, I found a program that gives you the azimuth for your zip code. Unfortunately, the line of sight is right in the thickest part of my tree coverage... Looks like it's back to cable for me

    Is that 110 and 119 based on North being at zero or some other positioning scheme?

    Where is the bird?

    Hi guys, I am a Voom sub and as you all know I will be in the dark at the end of the month and I am considering my options. Few questions for you all: Where is the satellite, I am in Southern NH and I live in tree covered area so I have limited visibility. How's the HD quality and...
