    Opinions wanted from those who swtiched to Dish HD Package???

    My Voom to Dish Experience. I was a loyal Dish customer for 3 years. I had tried to go HD, but the equipment outlay was so high I couldn’t justify it for such a small offering of programming. I found this forum in February of 2004 and began considering Voom as a provider. After a much needed...

    Current Dish/VOOMer so whats our deal going to be??

    I had a similar experience... First call I fessed up to being a "former" dish customer, (I left d* a year ago to go vooming). Immediately I was advised that there was no way I could get a HD receiver unless I wanted to purchase the 811 for $413.00. NO thanks. I went to EBAY and bought a 811...

    Dish refuses to allow me to have 2 DVR 942

    So move on! You can buy a new one on EBAY if it's that important to you. I had to buy an 811 because as a former dish customer (left over a year ago)I did not qualify for the VOOMer special. It's their game, you got to play by their rules.

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    Purchase price minus $5 per month... Isn't thant the fee per month we "rental" customers paid? I have to admit, fear of Voom's demise did play a part in my decision to rent, but I don't think those who purchased should be stuck with a overpriced paper weight.

    Thank You letters to VOOM and Charles Dolan

    Mr. Dolan, you are a true visonary... Like most voOm subscribers, I tried the others. I had DirecTV just weeks after the service was available, then years later moved to DishNetwork. My HD inputs on my SONY 53" were unused for 3 years, and not appreciated until you "opened our eyes" with your...

    Where are the new Channels?

    Oh, Grasshopper, you have much to learn... If you read this forum often you should know that CSRs are the LEAST reliable source of information, right below crystal balls and divining rods. But don't worry, it will all be fixed in "two weeks". Right, gang?! :D

    Cablevision Chairman To Use Cash, Stock To Fund Voom

    Seems to me we are up to our a$$ in alligators. I think it's wise to deal with that and finish "draining the swamp" at a later point. Eddie

    Do you have a new provider lined up if Voom goes dark on 4/1/05??

    I agree with TheTimm... It's Voom or a combination of OTA and DVD's.

    No complaints on HD... But the "red-sparklies" on TBS last night were terrible.

    Repeating Stutter in Composite Output

    I've been using the composite output for recording on my pc since I got VOOM almost a year ago (I actually view the component output on my sony rp). I feed the composite signal into my ATI All-In-Wonder and capture it to the hard disc. Since the last update, I have had a repeating stutter...
