    I Got My Refund Today !!

    I was looking at my credit card account online also because that is the way I originally purchased the equipment. My monthly payments were automatically deducted. I did not mail the payments monthly. Be looking for a Cablevision envelope! It is not a rebate by the way. It is refunded to those...

    I Got My Refund Today !!

    Yeah baby Just got home and what did I find in the mail box but a check from Cablevision in the amount of $628.04. These guys really did not let us down. When I first started pondering the thought that Voom would shut down after the sale of Rainbow 1 to E*, I got this sick feeling that I...

    Used Voom Box + Lost PIN = ?

    reset I guess the seller deserves a load of bad feed back since they're just offing used equipment that they refuse to find the code for. Bad customer service and zero support. These people make ebay and Voom look bad. sorry, me

    Last VOOM Statement

    I received my final statement from Voom today. It reflects a "Customer Loyalty Credit" of $648.00, minus $19.96 for the period between April 19-April 30. So with the original purchase of 2 STB's, one at the cost of $399 and one at the cost of $299 back in October of 2004, I'm supposedly getting...

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

    Pq I think the pq of the SD channels is better on E* than they were on Voom. The pq of the Voom channels is the same. I use an 811, but I've heard that the HD pq is even better with the 942. I cannot speak to the SD capabilities of the 942, but I find it hard to believe that it will not do SD...

    Pure Speculation

    being patient spahoose, You've been most helpful with this new info. This thread was linked to another thread and I'm wondering why it isn't more active. Anyway, I may sound disheartened and a little upset, but realise that they still have some time before they send out the final invoice...

    Pure Speculation

    $0.00 balance I bought two boxes from the outset and stayed until the end. I did not cancel the service. I guess I'm not one of the lucky ones to get a credit. I just called and checked my account balance. So far it shows no credit. But thanks for the phone number anyway. me

    Pure Speculation

    What account? When you say account, do you mean the account the money was originally drawn from in order to pay for the equipment, the Voom account that we no longer have access to online, or the account that the monthly service fees were paid from? I'd like to give them a call too, can...

    Send Dish a Message

    Do you consider the CSR's to be E*, because they are the ones insisting that former Voom subs need a antenna upgrade when in fact they don't. All I'm asking is that they get their info straight. Is that too much to ask. If it's costing E* so much money, why do they insist on this needless...

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

    As a side note, or question. Someone posted above that the 811 will not work with the Legacy LNB's and equipment. I have a Model 6000 and just bought a 811 which has not arrived yet. Will I be able to hook the 811 in with my current hardware or is there hardware incompatibilities I am looking...

    Dish HD Pack ONLY For Someone Without $$

    I have an 811 that I bought at www.craigslist.org for $125.00 . There are listings regionally, and some people just want there used equipment picked up and out of there hair. Thats where I lucked out because at the same time I was picking up my 811 from a craigslist seller, I had a maximum bid...

    has anyone with the 811 run into this

    Same story here. Scanned locals, get no channel info, just the accurate digital channel displayed and no program info. I hope it can be resolved. Might it be something to do with the line in for OTA is not merged with the coax that comes form the dish via diplexer? BTW, mine is not the Voom...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    OK, I'm picking up my Dish 500 TWIN Legacy and SW21 at lunch time today. Does the line start at the Voom dish (dual LNB), then go through the diplexer that I illustrated on a previous post, then to the SW21 and then to the 811? And, Does one coax from D500 twin go to that same SW21 while the...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    Thanks for getting back to me. When I say pre dish 500 I mean exactly what you say. It was that single dish Pointed at either the 110 or the 119 position. I kinda remember going into the diagnostics screen and seeing that on various occasions. I will get the D500 twin and an SW21. I don't...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    I have a first generation Dish Network system for lack of a better term. I bought it in 1996. I've had a 3000 series receiver since the original installation. I later attached and activated a 301 series receiver. It always worked great. The lack of equivalent HD at E* forced me to go with...

    Dish Model 6000U Receiver

    I found my 811 yesterday for $125.00. I picked it up and activated it. I don't have any need to record to a PC or otherwise. My plan is to upgrade with a compatible unit when they go to MPEG 4, then I plan on having DVR capabilities. I will let the seller know of the potential for his device and...

    Post your VOOM Activation Stories here

    Bought used 811 ($125.00), hooked it up to existing Voom dish (no modifications), ran check switch, hooked up separate coax for OTA (I wish E* had them integrated for use with a diplexer), scanned for OTA, called E*, reactivated my old account (they waived the $25.00 for reactivation), asked for...

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    TDK, Right now the only attached dish is the Voom dish. This weekend when I have more time, I'm going up on the roof to re-attach the original Dish Network dish to the chimney. I think it was originally pointed at 110. It should work. I've had Dish Network since Holyfield/Tyson I, but with...

    HD ONLY Package Pricing at Dish Network..

    E* dish not necessary I just bought a used 811 from www.craigslist.org and picked it up in Oaktown CA, attached it to the Voom dish and reactivated my old account. I needed a little more than HD, so I got the Americas Top 60. It works great! Don't let them sell you a dish and furthermore...

    Dish Model 6000U Receiver

    noremac, Thanks for the info. It seemed a little obsolete for the price. I'll keep my eyes out for the 811. I think I read somewhere that the 6000 needed hardware upgrades to get expanded HD content. Even Dish has no lit on this unit anymore. Thanks again, me

    Dish Model 6000U Receiver

    Ten Million HDTV's in U.S. homes!!! And VOOM only got 40,000 subscribers

    9,960,000 bozos for not signing on to VOOM These are the people that we should mainly blame. So now we get less HD than Voom for $5.00 more per month. If only they realized that they could have had more HD for only the equivalent of What D* and E* charged for their original HD packs. You know...

    2 More Weeks!!

    Making it customer installable is a great idea. But if they come out with something cutting edge and reliable, it would mean that you would not need to upgrade for a while. With D* getting away from tivo, their subs are now faced with having to upgrade to newer technology if they choose. Like...
