    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    I've installed a positioned dishes for Voom, Direct, and Dish, and have never been as frustrated as I am with FTA. I simply want to find one satellite with FTA channels to learn more about my receiver before a replacement motor arrives. I've worked on getting a signal for several hours - I got...

    Joost Invites?

    Does anyone out there have a Joost Invite? I'd love one. If you don't know what Joost is, check it out at www.joost.com. It is a new way of watching TV over the internet and should be out soon. I spotted this today in an article about Apple TV. Joost will run on Windows and on OSX.

    Component thru the receiver

    Currently, I have my DISH 622 hooked directly to my Pioneer Plasma via Component. The sound is hooked up to a 5.1 receiver (Onkyo) via Optical. What is the advantage of hooking up the 622 via the component in on the reciever and then running the component out on the receiver to the Pioneer...

    AN interesting GROUND

    I live in an old school that has a flat roof. I went up to the rooftop today to see a neighbor's new install (a dish for satellite only) and found that it had been grounded in a very odd way. The cable has the ground running along side and the installer actually attached the ground to THE...

    Dish Vip 622 and the World Cup

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just had a Vip 622 installed including a Dish 1000 and it all went down pretty well. The tech worked through some receiver start-up issues but in the end the whole system is up and running. And I LOVE it. As I type, the receiver is recording the two live World...

    Upcoming Tricky Dish Install

    I will be purchasing a condo soon that is actually an old classroom in a 1925 brick school house. My antenna and two dishes will be moving with me. They will have to be installed on the roof and to avoid a long cable run, they must sit on the roof proper which is flat and has a rubber...

    Multi room hook up

    Hey gang, I have a simple question. I have never had a multi room sat receiver hookup - just a single room. If I get a DISH three room set up - will the installer use my existing cable lines that run to the three rooms? (Split after coming out of the dish). Cheers, James

    WHO will pull the coax on VOOM?

    Who will be pulling their coax on the 31st? I tried it today to see if I would still get my OTA's and it was, well, AOK. I am a box owner and I want to be able to salvage it as much as possible. I am running cable and VOOM at the moment and will drop my VOOM account at the end of this billing...

    DVI to COMPONENT back to DVI!

    Way back in the early days (Feb 2004) I found that my component cables looked much better than the DVI cable that was installed with the VOOM STB. Just for kicks, I switched out the COMPONENT cables for the DVI yesterday - WOW - the picture is MUCH better. I am guessing that all the software...

    March Madness

    It's Mid March and I feel a code push coming on. Time to start an office pool. Wilt has been quiet lately on the Yahoo Group - I'm putting up 5 cyber bucks that we get a suprise tomorrow night. All this ESPN babble (on YAHOO) is making my head spin - I think it is just meant to distract us...

    Help Me Please (No red/Green)

    Hello all, Please excuse the non-VOOM issue but I thought the collective brain power on this forum could give me a hand. I returned from the store to find that my Hitachi 51G500A (Rear Projection) was projecting only in "blue" and there were curved horizontal lines in the picture. I...
