    Put service on hold, now I can't used HD-DVR to record at all?

    I'm cancelling my D* service this weekend. Last night I was trying to archive some of the saved content on my HR10-250, but I realized my DVD recorder wasn't working. Will I still be able to archive it later when I get the DVD recorder fixed, or will I need D* service to play anything off of the...

    MPEG4 / Phoenix AZ

    I just got off the phone with D* and I got hassled big time over this. They said no way will they turn on the national feed, that it was against the law. I asked for the supervisor, who was the rudest prick I ever spoke to at D*, who told me I'd have to write to my congressman, and even then...

    Do you have to call Fox for the waiver, or can you just call D* directly?

    VOOM PVR/DVR Release Soon... Echostar/Rainbow information coming soon as well (???)

    This is why I left Voom in the first place, the endless delays and empty promises. Apparently things haven't changed. I'm enjoying my HD DVR at D* immensely.

    Current Issues with VOOM's PQ

    One of my all time favorite movies is A Clockwork Orange. I watched it on one of the Voom Cinema 10 channels a couple of months ago and was disappointed by the PQ and posted about it at the time. It was very grainy. Last night I watched it again on HDNet through D* and the quality was amazing...

    I want an HD DVR SOOO BAD...tempted to switch.

    I switched to D* and the Tivo HD DVR HR10-250. An amazing machine. Expensive, sure, but worth it to me. I'm recording all sorts of Olympic events in HD. I haven't regretted the switch for a second.

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    If you read the first post, Jimmy asked for comments. I'm not whining, I'm just commenting on why I'm leaving since he asked. At least I didn't start one of those "I'm outta here" threads. Those are almost as annoying as people who whine about other people whining.

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    The HR10-250 is an HD DVR. I'm sure if you had one of these it wouldn't be collecting dust :) Whether I watch HD or SD, it's important for me to control my TV watching, not my provider. DVR equals freedom.

    Stay with Voom or switch?

    I'm switching to D* for several reasons. Before Voom I'd become accustomed to having a DVR. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I didn't have one. Now that I've got my hands on a HR10-250, I'm gone. Sure, Voom is getting a DVR. We've seen how quickly they've acted on other issues...
