    My Unique Situation-What would you do?

    I am sure everyone has unique situations, but mine is definitely different. I live in a neighborhood that is huge. It has its own cable/internet/phone company whcih is part of your monthly HOA fees (which are expensive BTW). Service and picture quality is not bad and the Internet access SCREAMS...

    Anyone using an H20 with a Tivo?

    I am considering coming back to D* and I will most likely get an HR-20 for one TV, but I have a 3 year agreement on one of my Tivos (2 years left). I wonder if anyone is using the SD outputs from an H20 to feed a Tivo and if the HD channels come in in proper aspect ratio and look good.

    How to get multiple HD-DVRs

    How would you get D* on 3 TVs with 3 DVRs? I now have two cable HD DVRs and 1 Tivo. I am looking at going back to D* and just get 3 HD-DVRs. Can this be done/

    HD Channel qulity on TV2?

    As a former Voomer, I have finally decided to ditch my cable, even though it is isupposedly ncluded with my HOA fees. I can get Dish HD and the needed equipment for less than I am paying for my two HD cable boxes ($9.50/mo each), one HD DVR ($16.50/mo) and two pay channels (HBO/Showtime-...

    HD Receiver Question

    Can the Dish HD recievers output an "anamorphic" image over composite or s-video in 480i? Those of you that had Voom will understand what I am asking. The Voom reciever would output a "squished" (sorry for the technical terminology) version of the HD channels over the component and s-video...

    HD DVR Functionality

    I recently moved and have had D* HD with the Tivo HD DVR and then Charter Communications HD Service with the Sci Atl 8300 HD DVR in the past. I also had Voom while it lasted as a stand alone service. I am considering Dish this time and wanted to know how the HD DVR stacks up against the two DVRs...

    Dish HD DVR and "modulated" OTAs via cable

    OK, here's a question for everyone. I had Voom along with my Charter cable for a year and really miss the Voom channels. I had thought about getting Dish with the Voom channels for a while, but since I can't get the HD OTA's where I live, I needed to keep Charter cable- I thought. So here's...

    Qustions on HD locals

    Before I add Dish to my house, I need to ask a specific question on local HD channels. I assume that the Dish program guide (specifically the 942 DVR) integrates local OTA HD channels into the guide to allow you to record from them. My question is a bit more sticky. I cannot receive local HDs...

    Will Voom go out with a bang?

    I wonder if Voom will do something like air the "best of" on all of the 21 channels leading up to shut down? It would be a great way to generate at least some good will. Maybe a final "message from Charles Dolan" to air at the last hour on HDNews that will let us know how they plan to keep...

    Express Vu/Star Choice Satellite

    I have been doing my research and it seems Express Vu from Canada may be the best HD value out there now for Voom customers. I wonder if it needs its own Satelliteguys forum? Maybe they will license Voom21 content.

    Just got the Voom DVR (not really)!

    Although I read about the use of Tivo with Voom, I never really gave it much of a shot since my Tivo is SD and I really want more glorious HD in my home. So, I have kept the Tivo connect to my cable TV in my bedroom and have Voom in my rooms where I have HDTVs. However, I recently finished my...

    Will Cablevision offer some VOOM HD content on the open market?

    Since CV has a ton of movie rights, etc. through Voom, why would they not offer at least some channels on the open market? They already know how (they own WE, AMC and Sundance)? Maybe this is part of the reason the board voted not to "give away" Voom.

    Does Voom DVi connection have HDCP?

    Does Voom support HDCP? Is it enabled, or as of now is it in the clear?

    VooM will Live On

    I for one believe Voom WILL be swallowed up rather than fade away. Right now D* is winning the PR war and E* cannot let that go on- which they could counter by adding all of the HD Voom has (can you see the ads---"compelling HDTV, NOW). I believe E* would love to have all of Voom's bandwidth at...

    Can you "hide" other channels than the locals?

    I get a question every time my daughter is searching the guide as to what the Playboy channel is (I don't have it, but even the titles are sometimes extreme). There are other channels I never watch and never will. Why can't I "hide" them like I can with any other sat system (or correct me if I...

    Why not add "scan for analog channels"?

    I live in an area where I cannot get locals OTA. However, if Voom would add the scanning for analog channels, I could in effect add my locals through cable (2-13 lifeline package) and at least access them through the Voom box. My wife hates having to change inputs on the TV just to see what's on...

    I love VOOM! Does that make me bad?

    Ok, so I haven't posted for a while. I was trying to make sure I was going to live with VOOM or get rid of it before I rambled on and had to eat my words. Following my install, I found out that due to the mountain I live behind, I can't get my locals via antenna. So, I sat down yesterday and...

    Alas, Voom is a "bridge" product for me.

    Unfortunately, where I live, VOOM will have to serve as a bridge for me until my cable company expands on the 7 HD channels they have. I cannot get any OTA's due to the geography in my area. Since DTV signals are so problematic to start with, I believe it will be necessary for an act of congress...

    Should I Self-Install a Bigger Dish?

    Living in the Deep South, I have T-storm issues like everyone else. Even with a 96 signal strength, I lose the signal sometimes for up to an hour, depending on the movement of the storm. I have an unused D* three LNB oval dish in my basement. Should I hook it up and use it for Voom until they...

    Answer on VOOM Customer Service

    OK, as I said in another thread, my install for yesterday was botched- no show. However, I must say that I never felt at any time like either Voom or Installs, Inc.'s customer service was less than up to par. Got through on the phone immediately on each call I made and the reps were helpful. I...
