    Using Voom Box for locals Actually from what I have heard, if your TV that you plan to hook up with the Voom box has DVI or HDMI inputs, you might get a slightly better image using a DVI or a DVI/HDMI cable compared to component. It is hard to distinguish though. Both are way better than S...

    Anyone know what the real Dish/Voom deal is?

    Ok .... I'm through with Dish What a bunch of confused people the person I just talked to just quoted me a different price compared to what they told me when I signed up yesterday. I was trying to get the America's Top 180 plus the "Everything Pack" of (all of the premiums). Originally I was...

    R.i.p Voom

    Voom's Final Moments I went to bed at 1:30AM EDT (after unplugging the 3 stbs (just in case)). I just happened to wake up at 2:55AM and could not resist reconnecting the bed room TV to STB. Then watched HDN news (loop). Just before it went black, there was commercial for the Voom originals...

    Whats the rush?

    $250.00 upgrade fee for the 942 Hi Truggy0, Yep without that $250, the 942 won't make it to your house. It will always be the property of Dish unless you agree to pay the full price later. You can only get out of the $5/month charge by taking their America's Everything plan which the...

    Whats the rush?

    Dish Committment The only way to get out of paying the monthly lease fee for the 942 is to take the America's Everything Plan(I hope I said that right) (the 180 plus all the premiums). Of course the 942 still belongs to Dish either way. You can get out of the one year committment plan by...

    Whats the rush?

    Cable and Voom 21.... oh well... Ccancelled Comcast anyway I aggree with you about the possibility of cable taking the Voom originals. Which is why I figured on going ahead with my Comcast installation today. That was until the installation guy showed up at 1PM for a 7:30AM to 10:00AM window...

    It's Official - VOOM ON DISH NETWORK!

    Pertinent Questions Good point Sean! I was about to cancel my Comcast install for tomorrow. But I will wait until I hear such details. I'm guessing that it will be part of their HD pack (same tier with others) because what they had up to this point was too pathetic to charge $$$ for (just...

    Directv $200 Rebate for Voom Customers

    Commitment Thanks for the warning Walter! At least Dish has a no commitment plan. I may be wrong but Directv makes you commit to one year just about everything. The good thing is that the early termination penalty from Directv was prorated down from $150 to $25 (one sixed of a year remaining...

    Directv $200 Rebate for Voom Customers

    You might have a point.......because I think I saw that the 30 mbps download speed not the 15mbps download speed plan (for $49.95) might be the plan that gives streaming video. But then again I heard that they would provide TV (and hopefully HDTV) at a price that would make the Comcasts and the...

    Directv $200 Rebate for Voom Customers

    Directv Later That's what I might do as well. I just left Directv on March 9th (to join Voom). I will stay with Comcast until Directv increases HD offering (via MPEG-4). Then I might jump back to them but I really am waiting to see what Verizon FIOS will offer in terms of HDTV and when they...

    Comcast Deal Don't forget to tell the Comcast folks that you are coming from Satellite. They give a great deal even for XVoomers (Dish win back or buy back or whatever they call it) (at least in Maryland area)
