    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    Why doesn't their "everything" package give you the HD stuff. I guess I don't have a full understanding of what everything means... I'm still going to hold off... It looks like I would have to spend $400 up front to get everything I want right now... (DVR $250, $50 order over the phone, and...

    HDMI inputs will I end up with component?

    Wow that is a good price from monoprice.com. I got my cable today from svideo.com and it worked great. I think it improved the video from Voom and worth the $16.25.

    Cable and OTA connection?

    Does it do any good to plug cable in to the voom box? Is there a way to make it tune to cable stations? It seems to only tune to HD OTA channels and voom. I figure this means no, but no harm in asking. Also my Silver Sensor antenna is diplexed with the Sat signal using something the installer...

    HDMI inputs will I end up with component?

    Okay so basically what I thought. I will have to buy my own cable. I guess I'll use component and if it looks like Voom is staying I'll upgrade it to DVI-HDMI. Thanks for the info!

    HDMI inputs will I end up with component?

    I have two receivers being installed tomorrow. One is an older Sony Wega 40'' direct view. I know it will end up with component because I don't have DVI on it. But my other screen is a new Pioneer 4350 plasma. It has two HDMI and three component (I think). It doesn't have DVI. Does that mean I...

    Phone line required?

    Thanks for all the info guys. I'm just going to plug the phone line in for long enough to get it installed and then remove it. I don't care for the idea of my phone line running down the hall way.

    Phone line required?

    Someone called today to confirm the wrong install date for Voom. It was someone from Voom (caller ID), but they say they didn't call (when I returned the call)... Anyway that doesn't have anything to do with my question other than I had to call the installer to get a firm install time (the...
