    NEW $15 charge from VOOM this month

    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.. :(

    Cannot buy from VE if you live in Phoenix?

    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

    Heat Wave...

    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.

    Problems with the COX HDTV DVR

    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.

    May 4 - Live Retailer Chat Recap!

    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...

    Dumb question

    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...

    Cable Guys... VOOM maybe coming to you

    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.

    Cable Guys... VOOM maybe coming to you

    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*...

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    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...

    Video of VoomDBS going dark last night...

    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

    Voom's free switchover offer to Dish far from free...

    In the past you had to fulfill your commitment period before you could just get the HD service by itself. So if the commitment is for 1 year or 2 years, then you could not make the change until that time.

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    Justalurker, do you know if they will move all of the HD over to a Sat. that will be able to be picked up by the Superdish eliminating the need for a second dish to be installed when MPEG-4 arrives? This is why I may wait till MPEG-4 to get E*. I don't really mind the $250.00 DVR upgrade cost...

    VOOM gone OTA here

    Stuck the V* receivers in the closet I had OTA here until I unplugged the boxes this morning. I stuck them in the closet for now and hooked up the Cox Cable HD-DVR boxes. :river :river :river I miss V*, but I am waiting to see which way the V* ashes blow before I switch from cable to...

    Any New Dish Deals Now That it's May 1?

    This saves me a call to E* then. I am just going to stick with Cox Cable HD service for a while and see which way the V* ashes blow. :cool: Cox has excellent PQ IMO, and the price is comparable to E* with no up front cost for the HD-DVR. They are promising more HD content in the near...

    Voom to disable OTA tuner in STB?

    I understand that they will shut everyone down at once. The times listed are 3:00am Eastern which would be Midnight Pacific.

    Who's staying up until Zero hour tonight?

    It will be at Midnight here on the West Coast so I will be up to see how it all ends. I am also curious to see if they leave some demo channels running in the clear promoting E* and Voom 21. It has been fun, and I hope since E* is picking up Voom 21 that it will jump start other...

    Anyone unplugging tonight?

    I am leaving the only set I still have hooked up to V* plugged in till it goes black. I am interested to see if they leave any Demo channels going promoting the E* deal and Voom 21.

    Whats the rush?

    I am writing my letter to Cox tomorrow to at least let them know what is available and that there ARE people who are interested in V* 21 being on cable... If not all at least part of the lineup! :cool:
