I did not have any other changes on my CC this month. I think the customer service lines are still open, so you may want to call them and have them clarify the charges. I wish they would go ahead and send the last statement and give us formal notification that the boxes are ours to keep.. :(

I called Value Electronics today to inquire about ordering one of the new LG 62" DLP's and was told that they could not sell to me because I live in Phoenix! Maybe there is some state restriction here? It is disappointing because none of the LG retailers in this area carry the new DLP...

Mine stays on 72 here in Phoenix. It may be 110 outside, but it is always 72 inside. :D

I moved to the Phoenix area last August from Houston, TX and I agree that 109 with 7% Humidity beats 95 with 90% humidity! I am in the NW part of the Valley in Peoria around 83rd and Beardsley.

I have 2 OTA receivers for sale. 1. LG-LST-3510A HDTV Receiver/DVD Player with HD upconvert Output for DVD. ATSC Tuner for HDTV Terrestrial and QAM Tuner for Digital Cable. DVI port must be used for DVD upconvert to 720p/1080i. Excellent PQ on OTA and upconvert DVD PQ is near HD quality...

I checked the Cox web site for Phoenix and they don't even list the 6412...??? I am perfectly happy with the SA 8300HD. I have not seen any issues with PQ or missing any recordings.

Here is the manual in PDF format. Hope this helps you out. ;)

www.voom.com Archives If you really want to see the old Voom web pages, go to the link below and you will be able to view the pages from www.voom.com from the time the site was first brought up till Nov. 2004. The www.voom.com site looks like that it belonged to an Auto Accessory company...

Phoenix, AZ Cox Channel Lineup Here it is in PDF format. ;)

Well I for one will heed Charlie's advise. I will sign up for E* once they get the MPEG-4 receivers available along with the MPEG-4 DVR. I really miss V* but I don't want to put up another dish just to get V* for 6 - 8 months and then not need it anymore (along with the extra set of holes in...

Some are expensive and some are not... Here is a link that carries a broad selection of equipment, but there maybe several other companies out there that are more competitive. A cheap one may be the way to go if you are doing a self-install or just want to tweak since they are around 20 bucks...

I spoke to one of the guys with Harmonic at NAB and he told me that CVC had plans for the Harmonic encoders they just put in use for V*. I would think that these could be used for Cablevision, but I am not sure though.

Yep, it looks like that it only serves the Witchita Kansas Area and all they do is install the E* dish and equipment. :( I put the bug in Cox Cables ear this morning, and they said that they would get back to me in a few days to let me know if they intend on carrying any of the V*...

Thanks JL, I am going to wait at least 6 months to see what E* gets going. If they are able to add all 21, get MPEG-4 out there including a new MPEG-4 DVR and put everything on one dish, then I am in, even if it cost me over $500.00 for installation and DVR lease upgrade. Oh, and the...

It was very fitting that the last scene is a train going down the track.... since we were railroaded into going to E* if you want to watch 10 of the V* original 21 for right now. :no
