    Problem with HR10-250

    I had the same problem. I've had my HR10-250 for only 6 weeks and my HDMI port failed yesterday. Started off with the weird picture previously described (grayed out with color bleed and inverted colors) and then it finally died completed about an hour later. I isolated it to the HDMI port by...

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    Another question: (sorry) After I complete this "move" do I need to block the number from which my DVR makes its calls (via the "*67" prefix)? Will DirecTV "catch me" if they see the DVR calling from my current phone? Does it still work okay with a blocked number? Kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    Nope, you can only change the billing address online, not the service address. :( kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    One more thing -- I found it interesting that the CSR would NOT process the change of address on the spot. Wanted me to call back after my "move", so it appears that the CSRs do indeed care about this stuff. Kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    Okay, I called DirecTV to change my service address and the CSR took me through this whole "moving" thing asked me a lot of questions. Basically I told her that I am moving Thursday to a previous location which already has the dish and cabling and that I will do the TV/receiver installs myself...

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    also would i get my old local channels if i instead get them to change my zip code to my old zip code (instead of the new zip code)? i live in a new neighborhood, so they might buy that.... kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    sounds like a good idea - do you think directv would get suspicious about such an address change, given i just moved a few weeks ago? or do you think they wouldn't care? kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    Hmmm, the new owner of my old house will set up a new DirecTV account so I will need to think about this one (can't use that old address). :( How about if I ask them to change my zip code? I'm thinking they'll know that I am giving them the wrong zip code.... Thanks, Kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    i will try this, but how about if my reset the system and change the zip code in the DVR setup to my old zip code? will that work? thanks, kevin

    Changing my local channel lineup?

    Hello all, I recently moved from Los Gatos CA to Scotts Valley CA and kept my DirecTV service. In Los Gatos I got my local channels from San Francisco which was great because I could get all the SF Giants games on FOX KTVU channel 2. When I moved to Scotts Valley, after a few days, my...

    Thanks to all, but I am done with VOOM

    Hello all, Just wanted to say to all for your feedback and to the moderators for maintaining this excellent site, but... I've decided that I am done with VOOM, at least for now. Had it uninstalled and taken away for a full refund (I was a "Charter Member" who paid the full $800 for the...

    Network to go inside NFL annual meeting

    But will VOOM broadcast NFL games during the regular season in HD on the NFL Network? Or does DirecTV have exclusive rights to live NFL game broadcasting? Kevin

    Weird VOOM problem

    Hi Sean, Great news, your suggested fix solved my problem. Actually forcing everything to 1080i seems to make non-HD channels look better as well. I'm gonna just leave it set this way. Thanks again for your help! Kevin

    Early subscriber and new lease programs

    Hello all, I am an "early subscriber" in the sense that I paid my $800 or to purchase my VOOM equipment last year and have it installed. I've been teetering on the decision to send it back for a refund, but a VOOM CSR just told me that the money-back guarantee has been extended yet another...

    Weird VOOM problem

    Cool, where is this configuration? If I lock it to 1080i, what's the default for SD -- stretched or pillar? I'd prefer stretched to avoid image burn-in (I already have a problem with this from watching Fox News all the time -- that sux). Thanks, Kevin

    Weird VOOM problem

    One more question: If I lock it to 1080i as you explain above, will I need to manually set it to 480i for SD programming (e.g. non-HD channels)? Thanks, Kevin

    Weird VOOM problem

    rang1995 sez: ""try using 1080, or 720 on those--they are doing some work on things" --- I've never had to set the resolution/mode, my TV has always just switched automatically.. Actually, I don't even know how to manually do this. Is VOOM doing something weird on these channels? Sean Mota...

    Weird VOOM problem

    Hello all, I have a weird problem with my VOOM system. I have a Mitsubishi HDTV hooked up to my VOOM receiver and cannot watch any of the CinemaHD channels. I can get all the other HD channels (e.g. HDNews, DiscoveryHD, MOOV, etc.) but whenever I try to change the channel to a CinemaHD...

    NFL Network to offer the most comprehensive coverage of Super Bowl XXXVIII

    What is really funny about this "comprehensive coverage" is that the SuperBowl itself is not being shown on VOOM/NFLNetwork. So how is this "the most comprehensive SuperBowl coverage"? I must be missing something here. I want to see the SuperBowl in HD on VOOM, not the pre-game show,the...

    VOOM New Policy - No monthly charges 'till 2/29/04 (and maybe 'till 3/31/04?)

    Cool this means I have more time to check it out before I return it for a refund. So far VOOM blows. They better improve the programming; thus far its a huge disappointment. Kevin

    HDTV Coverage of SuperBowl on VOOM or not?

    Wow, VOOM misses the mark yet again. Lame programming, same things over and over again, and no SuperBowl. Time to send this system back for a refund. VOOM is a huge disappointment for me overall. Lots of HD programming I don't really care to see and not a whole that interests me. And no...

    HDTV Coverage of SuperBowl on VOOM or not?

    OK, so what's the scoop? I contacted a VOOM CSR and asked if I would get HDTV coverage of today's Super Bowl. He said Yes on NFLNet. I looked it up and NFLNet appears to have some "RedZone" show at that time. So, can anyone confirm whether or VOOM subscribers will indeed receive HD coverage...
