    Yes, it does seem like an odd way to treat your customers... especially someone that has been that has been with them so long (8 years). If I was "allowed" to have new product when it became available, I would probably be a customer forever. I have completely upgraded my tv (to Pioneer...

    Can an existing sub lease a 942

    I think you would have to figure in the $250.00 up front fee too lease the 942 (and then the $5.00 per month) and 100.00 for the 2nd dish to receive VOOM. There may be other costs, but the up front $350.00 is minimum I think.

    I want a 942 but....

    I'll take my chances with the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD from COX. At least I'll have an HD DVR without having to beg for it. And, if it gives me problems, I'll know I haven't put money into it nor have I had to make any time commitment to give it a try. That seems to be about all I can do at...

    Existing Customer: Dish HD Options

    I have tried to get 942 lease but consistently have been told they will only lease these to new subs. Regrettably I canceled Dish today (after being with for them for 8 years and becoming use to using my Dish 508 DVR) and will get COX cable and their HD DVR. I'd hoped that when it came to...

    POLL: Do you have a 2nd Dish?

    I have Dish 500 pointed at 110/119 and a VOOM dish pointed at 61.5 (but no Voom10... because I've been a loyal Dish sub for 8 years now...) and one Dish 500 sitting on a shelf in the garage.

    Can't decide on HD-DVR for $250.00

    I have a Dish 508 DVR and had VOOM for my HD. I kept the Dish account for the DVR (because it allows me to watch what I want when I have the time to watch it) service and "just in case". I'd like to now take Dish as my HD provider (so far every time I've called I get the "its for new subs" not...

    Please clairify this for us: "The 942 HDDVR (dual tuner) for the $249 with no additional monthly fees" Do you mean you paid the $250.00 to lease the 942 but they are not charging you a monthly fee to lease it??

    942 replacement

    I wonder same thing. This past Monday I talked to a Dish "advanced tech" and he told me 942 would be up-gradable with a software update. Can anyone confirm this or was he just blowing hot air?

    942 Lease

    When asking about the wisdom of leasing a 942 HD DVR, I was told today by a Dish "advance tech" that the 942 will upgradable to mpeg4 via downloaded software. This is news to me. Does anyone else know this for a fact?

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

    Current Dish/VOOMers. What is our deal going to be?? I currently have Dish service (and a 508 DVR), and have had Dish full time since 1996. I also have (had) VOOM for HD since March 2005 when I bought my first HDTV. I kept Dish for the DVR and for "just in case". I've called Dish 3 times...

    Where is my Sound & Vision Magazine??

    Did those of you who have received your first copy (and were recently installed) go on the autopay plan or did you elect to pay by check? I was installed on March 12, 2005 and elected to pay by check and wonder if that would have delayed VOOM entry of a subscription (wait for check to clear...

    Where is my Sound & Vision Magazine??

    I haven't noticed anyone mentioning the one year Sound & Vision magazine subscription that was part of the later "$1.00 Install" promotion. Does anyone think that those subscriptions were ever entered... or paid for?

    Voom Box is DEAD and no OTA

    Soooo... if I want to preserve my OTA but want to watch VOOM until it goes black (blue?) on April 30th, and I have 2 receivers... could I unplug the feed to one of them and leave the other connected? Reasoning being that the connected one would turn off OTA while the disconnected one would...

    Another rabbit in C. Dolan's hat?

    I don't know what is going to happen, but here is my plan of action. I've only had VOOM for a month and loved it. I had Dish (customer for eight years) and kept it for the 508 DVR (SD DVR which I own) and had planned to dump Dish as soon as the VOOM DVR was available. I've not watched any...
